Guest VodaSPV Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Please some one help. I have tried literally everything (calling up Vodafone to retrieve the settings) and (doing s**t loads of flippin resets) but GPRS does not seem to work. Where things get hazy is the it used to work fine with the following settings but all of a sudden I get a message when trying to connect to GPRS "Unable to make call" The settings that I have for GPRS for Vodafone UK are as follows and once again, it used to work fine and all of a sudden it stopped. Connects to "The Internet" Access Point "Internet" User name "web" Password "web" Primary D.N.S "158.43.240.4" Secondary D.N.S "158.43.240.4" IP Address "212.183.137.012" Please help if you could. I am getting desperate ;) (for help!!). Any replies will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Guest VodaSPV Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 OK. I have tried literally everything. But still I am stuck at "ERROR UNABLE TO PLACE CALL". Can someone, anyone at all please help. Many thanks.
Guest martin Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 I've filled in the gaps for vodaphone settings using the standard setup for SPV. As usual, I've never tried it. Might help ?

Guest VodaSPV Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Thanks ever so much Martin and everyone else. Its working fine now. Again thank you. Well I can't thank you enough as I am the very very very happy that GPRS is now working. ;) :) :D ;) :)
Guest martin Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 I'm glad it worked ;) Can you access both WAP sites ? http://www.google.com/wml http://www.orange.multimedia/ and internet HTML web sites. If so, I'll post these settings in the repository.
Guest VodaSPV Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Its working (KIND OF) (I can access HTML and WML sites) but they are taking rather long to load up. All of a sudden it started saying the same thing again "Error, Unable to place call". Did a soft-reset and now its working again.
Guest martin Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 You can still get 'unable to place call' and 'connection fails' when the signals not too good (bit errors). The signal inside my house on Orange is OK but on O2 its very poor and its 50/50 whether its gonna connect or not. When you did a reset it may have established on a better cell. I'll post the vodaphone settings now I know they work. Cheers
Guest cricky_o Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 im 02 pay and go could you explain the way you did with the vodafone settins caus im havin extreme difficulty tryinn to connect ps does messenger workk with it too
Guest martin Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 I don't think you get GPRS internet for web pages on O2 PAYG but you can use messenger on a GSM dial-up connection instead.
