MMS Settings for i-mate Vodafone Australia

I phoned Vodafone and they emailed me the setup instructions as well as going through it exstensively over the phone but still no luck. Any one on Vodafone got MMS working.

Seal,
Do you want to post the instructions from Vodafone and I'll see if I can make sense of it? Either that, or e-mail them through to me - codenix at idx dot com dot au.

Can you tell me what changes from the above if using a PAYG sim card?

Vodafone data/sim question.

I'm on a Voda Hero, here in the UK. Everything has been peachy up until a couple of hours ago, when I dropped off the network, so no calls or data. I called Voda and they 'jinxed' the connection, which meant that the phone worked for a moment and then again I lost the network. After using WIFI and then coming off it, I now have calls as usual, but no data/emails and Voda say it is because I 'have a very old sim' and want me to visit the store in the morning to get a new one.
Sorry for such a long question, but it boils down to; can an ancient sim which has worn out lead to no data delivery, or does that seem unlikely?
Many thanks!

Just tried the sim in another phone and the data downloaded, so now I have to work out why my Hero is still polling but downloading nothing, even though I haven't changed any settings!
I would be very grateful for any input please...
Ta.

It sounds similar to the problems a lot of Vodafone users are having. I personally had the same issues and my sim's only about 6 months old. After I did a factory reset everything seemed to clear up and I've had no real problems since.

Okay, ta. I didn't realise that Voda users were having major problems - is it some kind of network clash with the Hero, do you think?

It's difficult to know what is causing it (some say its Voda blocking ports) but you can read more about it here

Hi there. I have set this up (in attempt to get some Facebook connection) and although it allows me to set up the profile, it doesn't then give me the option to select it - there is no 'green button', although the profile is in the list. I have just upgraded my ROM from the HTC site and am unbranded although using Voda in the UK.
Many thanks for your help, in advance.

Try using:
wap.vodafone.co.uk as the APN name and use wap as the username and password.

Ta, but it makes no difference. To be clear, Vodafone Post-pay ISP and Vodafone Prepay ISP are the only two options selectable. I can set up as many new ones as I like, but it isn't giving me the option of selecting them...

3g not switching on??

either I am really stupid or my 3g connection for data is not switching on...
yest night I updated the official 2.2 performance update fix (dj steve's kernal etc) onto my streak and have been using wifi ever since....
now when i try to switch on 3G...by going to settings>wireless & networks>mobiles networks and there enable data connection....nuthing happens...
any solutions to this...??..or am I doing something wrong??

ok got it working...apparently the APN had somehow got a 'disabled' written on it...
anyways...now the problem is...firstly it shows G instead of the H before...and secondly its painfully slow.!!
any solutions to this??
EDIT:: now its jumping from H to G n vice versa...
lol..what the flip is up with it....

My 3g disappeared sometime on Friday so if you're in the UK I can't help wondering if O2 have been meddling... they say they haven't but when I put in the settings they emailed to me, it all works fine again...
try setting up a new APn manually using this - i found this set is faster than my original settings from O2:
1. Press the Menu key
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Wireless controls
4. Tap Mobile networks
5. Tap Access Point Names
6. Press the Menu key
7. Tap New APN
8. Tap Name then tap the text box and enter O2 Mobile Web then tap OK
9. Tap APN then tap the text box and enter mobile.o2.co.uk then tap OK
10. Skip past Proxy as this is preset blank
11. Skip past Port as this is preset blank
12. Tap Username then tap the text box and enter o2web then tap OK
13. Tap Password then tap the text box and enter password then tap OK
14. Skip past Server, MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port as these are preset blank
15. Tap MCC then tap the text box and enter 234 then tap OK
16. Tap MNC then tap the text box and enter 10 then tap OK
17. Tap APN type then tap the text box and enter default,supl then tap OK
18. Press the Back key (actually it helps to press Menu>Save first otherwise you have to start again!)
19. Tap the dot next to your new profile to make it the default
20. Press the Back key four times to return to the standby screen.

thanks for tht...
but somehow right now its ripping at 1.8mbps download on o2 3g...not sure if it was tht fast before....
can I ask you on how fast the 3g is for you on o2??
will try out ur method once something screws up here...
edit:: oh god...actually now its avging 1.1-1.3 mbps...not really sure why its fluctuating but if I remember correctly I never got more than 1 mbps before....lets see for how long this lasts...

yeah, mine was atrocious before - I just thought it was O2 signal, but when it was the same in other parts of the country I did wonder! The new settings do seem to give me about 1.6mbps whereas before I was lucky to get past 1 on a good day... although I just tested it again now and it's back to low 1's
Upload speeds are consistently way higher though (higher than download, which is a bit strange!)
