Guest damo784 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 I am looking to set up GPRS with my unlocked SPV C500 on the vodafone network in Ireland. I have searched the net ,contacted Oragne tech support and vodafone tech support in ireland. They dont know the settings for this particular phone?? Ive tried the settings for other mobile phones that have GPRS in ireland to no avail. Also i am looking for MMS setting but in not too worried about this. Any ideas?
Guest martin Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 I did a quick search for the Vodafone Ireland GPRS data and put this together. Hopefully it will work OK :) First delete all existing diaup, proxy and GPRS connections. Create the GPRS Internet data and try connecting to http://www.google.com Create the GPRS WAP data and try connecting to http://www.google.com Let us know if you get any errors, and what the errors are. Internet over the GPRS network Settings-Data Connections Settings-Data Connections Menu-Edit Connections GPRS connections Menu-Add Description: GPRS Internet Connects to: The Internet Access point: isp.vodafone.ie User name: vodafone Password: vodafone Primary DNS: 213.233.128.1 Secondary DNS: IP address: In Settings - Data connections Internet Connection: GPRS Internet In Internet Explorer, Menu-Options-Connections Untick 'Auto detect settings' Set 'Select network: 'The Internet' WAP over the GPRS network.

Guest damo784 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 Thanks very much for your help when trying the GPRS connection i get the error "unable to connect.verify you have network coverage and try again" and for the wap via gprs "unable to connect.verify you have network coverage and try again" my sim is definitely data enabled doe gprs and wap and should work... Any ideas? i could never get it working for my old spv either and am determined to do so with the c500!!
Guest martin Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 Try this for the WAP connection and see it connects. Access point: wap.vodafone.ie User name: dublin Password: dublin
Guest damo784 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 it says "the page you are looking for cannot be found" this is while checking for http://www.google.com Damo784
Guest martin Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 it says "the page you are looking for cannot be found" this is while checking for http://www.google.com Damo784 <{POST_SNAPBACK}>The 'page not found' error tells you that APN wap.vodafone.ie (+ username and password) is valid although there is a problem with data transfer, possibly caused by the proxy settings. This APN is good to use :) I did notice that I had previously made an error with the APN live.vodafone.com as I had called it live.vodafone.ie by mistake :oops: You can try this APN again but if you get a 'connection fail' then it's of no use. I've added the DNS server for good luck although it's usually not needed. Try the following and let us know if you get any luck. Create GPRS connection. Description: GPRS WAP Connects to: The Internet Access point: wap.vodafone.ie or live.vodafone.com User name: dublin Password: dublin Primary DNS: 213.233.128.1 Secondary DNS: IP address: Create proxy connection Description: WAP Proxy Connects from: The Internet Connects to: WAP network Proxy (name:port): 010.024.059.100:80 Type: HTTP Username: Password: In Settings - Data connections Internet connection: GPRS WAP WAP connection: GPRS WAP In IE, Set 'Select network: 'The Internet' and try www.google.com This will test the GPRS connection without the proxy server. IN IE, Set 'Select network: WAP network' and try www.google.com This will test the GPRS connection with proxy server. If both fail with 'page not found' the try changing the proxy server settings and continue testing with the WAP connection. i.e Proxy (name:port): 010.024.059.100 Type: HTTP Proxy (name:port): 010.024.059.100 Type: WAP Proxy (name:port): 010.024.059.100:9201 Type: WAP (test port 9201 with www.google.com/wml) You could also try connecting to http://live.vodafone.com
