Hi Folks, First post on here so bare with me. I have managed to unlock my phone which is great thanks to help on this forum. I have a vodafone PAYT Sim which I am trying to get GPRS working. I have scoured around to no avail. I have seen several posts on other sites as well. It seems the APN is pp.vodafone.co.uk and wap as username and password, this just isn't working on my phone I have also tried wap.vodafone.co.uk as well and a number of combinations I keep getting the error message 'No modem available at this number' or words to that effect? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Steve
you must be very wealthy as i was on voda payt and it used to cost £1 to load 1 webpage :?
you can get voda to txt you the settings off their website if you need them but I'd recommend you use a different price plan tbh
hi dmonik, ive tried with the guys at vodafone to not much avail, i am going to change network to easymobile they seem to have ok rates. Can someone point me to a beginners guide to these things. I want to learn about ROMs and how to get the most from my phone?
Steve

Does any bod know how i could connect to the internet using my uk PAYG sim cards, on O2 or Orange??? :shock:
Please help me!!! Thanks for any help
hi.
I've got the o2 online tarrif (the one that gives 300 minutes of WAP and 300 text per month, just as long as you top up £10 every month)
At lunchtime today, i'm going to the o2 showroom in Manchester, where their datacentre is going to set up GPRS for me.
I'll write down what they do, and post it here this afternoon.
Hope this will help!
I am looking for orange gsm wap UK settings too!
Phillip. I have just posted on this topic. I have not been able to get orange (UK) to work on my xda. It dials up and connects but does not allow anything beyond this. So i cannot surf or check mail. Have you had any luck in getting settings? Ken.

I went through all this,and can tell you that o2 payg doesn't support gprs.That's why people use Orange payg.
thanks
thanks for ur help do u know if you can keep your phone number is you swich networks.
I do Believe
I do believe that if you call O2 CS that can transfer your number to a different carrier.
Hi - I've seen some posts that kind of address this topic but nothing yet that can solve the problem I'm experiencing (I think!).
I've set my O2 Exec up with what I'm confident are the Vodafone UK WAP APN and MMS server settings. However, when I send a message it tries for the standard 3 attempts and then gives up, saying the message couldn't be sent and that it would remain in my outbox. However, all 3 of the messages are actually successfully delivered! I am unable to download any 'received' MMS sent to me, although I do receive the notifications.
Has anybody else experienced this and, if so, I'd appreciate any advice in solving it.
The WAP APN I'm using is wap.vodafone.co.uk without the proxy setting enabled (as this is specified in the MMS settings). The MMS server is http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms, gateway is 212.183.137.12 with a port number of 8799. Size is limited to 100K, using WAP 2.0.
Thanks for any assistance.
Vodafone MMS
I've got exactly the same problem. I rang vodafone and told them I had a V1640 and ask them to send me the settings, but she couldn't do it for some reason. She told me to go down to the vodafone shop and ask them to program the settings in manually. I haven't done this because I reckon that I will know more than them about the phone.
My O2 ROM has the settings for 02's connections, therefore, the only thing I can think of doing now is to somehow obtain a copy of the V1640 ROM and install it and hope the settings will be inherant with the installation.
Had a quick look aroung the net without any success.

I'm going from memory a little, but before i upgraded to my Orange SPV M5000, I upgraded my O2 XDAII from PPC2003 (not SE) to a WM2005 ROM, working on a Vodafone PAYT SIM.
I used the attached file to configure all the necessary Vodafone settings (btw, this is UK PAYT)... just copy to your device and run the CAB. I don't recall any problems runnings this, irrespective of any manual settings i'd set.
I also recall having to phone Vodafone to ask them to ensure my GPRS was enabled as this affects MMS sending. Vodafone seemed to be happy to automatically switch it off for me every few months!
Hope this helps
Got myself an HTC Tytn a couple of days ago, found some config stuff on the internet, could connect with a big fat U at the top, but for the whole day now won't connect. Could someone share their T-mobile settings with me? I use a PAYG sim that has a £1 a day internet access, are the settings the same for payg as contract? Thanks in advance..
Re: t-Mobile UK GPRS/3G Settings same as Universals?

I've got a T-mobile VarioII but I know that there are some minor but significant differences between the 2 setups. Why not search on the 'Universal' forum for 'T-mobile Pay-s-u-go' settings which would include everything you need as the Universal is 3G also? Just a thought. Good luck.
good advice, thanks

I got a pay as you go sim from t-mobile last monday and it worked fine till early wednesday morning when it stopped working mid way through checking posts on here. Has not worked since and customer service have been unable to tell me why. It will not work in my web n walk pro data card either. I'm still trying to find out what's going on.
I will check on the settings but I've only found reference to the same connection settings.
My settings are...
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
User: user
Password: wap
Never needed anything else, no ports or proxys etc, just the above. Used them in my universal, wizard and no my tytn

Re: T-Mobile Wap, MMS and E-mail settings
Got it sorted!
Username should be: t-mobile
Password should be: tm
Payg sim started working straight away.
Also improves the times when the connection hangs on my data card as well.

I still can't connect (although it wasn't a problem a couple of days ago) I just get the following:
Connecting...
Locating...
Then it just hangs there. Anyone got any other ideas?

Mine can do this for upto a minute on each new connection. Once it eventually works mine will be fine for the remaining time of the connection.
Sean make sure you are using
general.t-mobile.uk NOT general.t-mobile.co.uk
The user and password I am using after converting my Orange 3100 is t-mobile and password.
Works fine for me.
Thanks Quilty, changing my password did the trick!
I am using my Wizard on an O2 iPhone contract. Calls and sms are working fine but I can't get connected to GPRS Internet. The settings I am using are:
AP: idata.o2.co.uk
user name: vertigo
password: password
Anyone know if I can connect with the Wizard and, if I can, the settings I need to use?
Sorry if this has already been answered, I did search before posting.
After much fiddling and inputting and grumbling on my part,O2 finally admitted that GPRS is not supported on this mobile either as contract or payasyougo. They wouldn't say why.
