GPRS & MMS settings for Vodafone NZ

Hi New Zealanders or travellers to NZ.
Below are the instructions for setting up your GPRS and MMS settings in WM6.1 for the Vodafone network in New Zealand. Getting these settings to work on my HTC Wizard has been a big mission and has basically come down to trial and error. Using these settings, you will have a GPRS connection when you are out of WiFi range, and you will be able to send and recieve MMS/PXT without problem.
The manual step by step instructions on the Vodafone NZ website for the i-Mate K-JAM didn't work, and their mobile portal where the settings can be SMS'd to your phone didn't come through to mine (despite SMS working perfectly well when sending and receiving from others). Also, no other resource was any help either (even going in to the Vodafone store resulted in shruggs from the staff who basically said "you bought it overseas, we don't support that phone, we can't help you" - dicks).
So, I've assumed I'm not the only other one out there having a nightmare with VFNZ settings and have decided to give something back to the site that has helped me so much (thanks xda-developers!).
Assuming you don't have any settings existing in your phone (maybe a hard-reset is a good idea to clear everything first), these settings should work like a charm.
Setting up GPRS (Internet access)
1. On the handset, tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections tab.
4. Tap on the Connections Icon.
5. Tap on Add a new modem connection under My ISP.
6. Enter VFNZ Internet in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap Next.
9. Enter www.vodafone.net.nz in the Access point name field.
10. Tap Next.
11. Leave the User name field blank.
12. Leave the Password & Domain fields blank.
13. Tap Advanced.
14. Select Use server-assigned IP address.
15. Tap OK.
16. Tap Finish.
Setting up MMS/PXT
1. On the handset, tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections tab.
4. Tap on the Connections icon.
5. Under My Work Network, tap on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter Vodafone MMS in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap Next.
9. Enter live.vodafone.com in the Access point name field. Tap Next.
10. Enter 'voda' in the User name field.
11. Enter 'fone' in the Password field and leave the Domain field blank.
12. Tap Advanced.
13. Select Use server-assigned IP address. Tap OK.
14. Tap Finish.
15. Tap on the Proxy Settings tab. Make sure the two boxes are unticked.
16. Tap OK 3 times to get back to the today screen.
17. Push the on the handset Messaging button.
18. Tap on Menu which is located at the bottom right corner.
19. Tap on Options.
20. Tap on MMS to bring up the MMS Configuration.
21. Tap on the Servers tab.
22. Tap on the New button.
23. Enter VFNZ MMS in the Server name field.
24. Enter 172.30.38.3 in the Gateway field.
25. Enter 9201 Port number field.
26. Enter http://pxt.vodafone.net.nz/pxtsend in the Server Address field.
27. Select My Work Network in the Connect via drop down selection.
28. Select WAP 1.2 in the WAP Version drop down selection.
29. Tap on OK.
30. Select VFNZ MMS in the MMS Configuration list.
31. Tap on Set As Default.
32. Tap OK 3 times to get back to the Today screen.
And there you have it. I believe you need to actually send an MMS message to someone before you are able to start receiving them, so make sure you do that after configuring the phone. Good luck!

You are my hero. Ive been trying for 2 months since I got one of these phones to get the settings working. Even the guy at the local Vodafone shop had NO clue what he was doing.
Awesome stuff

My pleasure, glad to help someone out

Cheers mate. This has been bugging me big time.

Hi micool_nz
I am using samsung Omnia mobile in NZ bought from singapore. It has got windows mobile 6.1 OS. I have been trying to set up the MMS configuration in my mobile but failed. Even now, I followed your suggestions and didnt get it to work for some reason. It keeps on saying me could not send MMS msg. Kindly help. I have options for WAP 1.0 ,WAP 2.0 or none as options and not WAP 1.2 in my mobile. Also, in step 22. I cant find server tab, instead I have sending, receiving, profile, compose and about tabs. In profile tab, I have 2 options - set profile as default or edit profile. When I go add new profile and followed your suggestions as below
MMS Profile - VFNZ MMS
MMSC - http://pxt.vodafone.net.nz/pxtsend
Data Connections - Among the options vodafone MMS and Vodafone, I selected vodafone as that is my network name. But tried with both and didnt work.
Gateway - WAP 1.0 or WAP 2.0 tried both but didnt work
IP Address - 172.30.38.3
Port - 9201
Despite of following all the above settings, my MMS is not working.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Samsung Omnia
Hi vbrsekhar
Did you get your internet sorted? I have been struggling for more than a month to get connected to the internet with my Omnia.
I have tried the GPRS settings as described here, but it is still not connecting.
I get this error message. "Dialed: www .vodafone. net. nz Cannot connect for unknown reason. To check your connection settings...".
Vodafone nz can't help. Samsung omnia is not supported by them. I have tried another network with different setting of course, and it works fine.

Hi Guys,
Try the settings in this CAB file, it automatically updates all NZ Vodafone settings.
The only thing I have currently found is an odd MMS problem with WM 6.5 not automatically being set up through this cab however you should be able to add it sucessfully the manual way as described above.
And don't bother with asking the Vodafone storeclerks they're hired just to sell phones, i've run into problems trying to get data plans loaded (they didn't even know what the phone was )

No Start\Settings\Connections
Hi guys
Thanks for the CAB file enclave.
I got a HTC HD2 in Australia locked to Telstra, I want to use it on Vodafone here in NZ. I have made some reg edits to get rid of some Telstra stuff, and have installed this cab file above which unlocked a few things, but still can not get the "Start\Settings\Connections" dialogue to come up.
Anybody know where in the registry I can turn this menu item back on?
I hit START, I hit the cog shaped SETTINGS icon, I get a Blue Settings menu, which has WIRELESS CONTROLS and DATA SERVICES but nothing about CONNECTIONS.
I want to set up VODAFONE MMS in the My Work Network but can't find it!
Matt

Try automatic configuration on the HD2

Hi Matt,
I too now have an HTC HD2 (International Version) and I found there is an easy way for the settings to be configured automatically from the Vodafone network. This should work for you too, unless the Telstra version of the HD2 has some network locks.
On the Blue settings menu you described where you saw Wireless Controls and Data Services, down the bottom right there should be a Menu option. Tap on that and select All Settings. From there, tap on Connections, then tap on Connection Setup.
All going well you should have two drop down lists. One with the Country (change it to New Zealand if it isn't already selected) and the second one with Operator (select Vodafone NZ if it isn't already selected). Tap on the OK option on the bottom left and the correct settings (including MMS/PXT settings) will be automatically downloaded to your phone from the VF network.
It worked a treat for me on my HD2. See how you go
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Thanks for that.
There is a MENU button and it does have a CONNECTIONS tab on it but it doesn't take me to a CONNECTION SETUP, just to the
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Set up my proxy server
Manage existing connections​
menu, I might try adding the vodafone MMS settings you suggeste in your initial post here and see how it flies....

...oops, we reached our limit.
Fingers too fat to type on the thing, too many hours spent in set up, it is going back to the shop.
Bye everybody, thanks for help, peace and love.
/END

You are actually my personal jesus, thank you so much for these settings.

Hi Guys,
Any chance of a Cab for UK Vodafone setting. Tried to edit reg but cant Unlock MMS Server For Change..
Help welcome

SPB Free Panel - Weather

Hello guys
I was wondering what your experiences are with the weather feature on the free SPB panel. Is the weather supposed to auto update? there is an option set to automatically update, but for some reason mine doesnt. But when im connected to wifi or active sync it updates.
I have made sure non of the other options are ticked like docked or free connection as I want it to update through GPRS.
Can someone tell me if its supposed to update through GPRS or whether its designed to update only through wi-fi and active sync.
I have a vodafone x1 if that helps.

I had the same problem, and fixed it by either:
1 - amending the MMS settings (voda sent me the settings which needed to be entered manually), if you're getting MMS messages OK then it isn't this.
2 - Change connection settings from post #7 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450502
Not sure which one it was cos I did them both at around the same time and noticed weather updates regularly then!

Sounds like you are using the Vodafone WAP settings to surf the web (classed as MyISP). This tends to block most requests that aren't done via a browser* and instead you should use Vodafone Internet settings (classed as WEB).
*that said quite a lot off apps now run over the WAP APN on Vodafone as they have tweaked the firewall

Does anyone know if I need to change any settings on AT&T? I love the graphics of this app, but it won't initiate its own internet connection. I have to check email or use the browser first to get the weather to update. I looked at SPB forums and no one knows why. Tried re-installing, but that didn't help either.

Thanks alot guys
Your help is greatfully appreciated.

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...

[Q] Any way of speeding up my 3G on the streak

I have a Dell Streak on Froyo 2.2 - 1.4.6 built by Stephen Hyde and I am experiencing painfully slow 3G. I had painfully slow 3G before, this was when I was running the official 2.1 and 2.2 but when I originally got the streak, it was on stock 1.6 and the 3G was fine.
Any idea's on how to speed it up? - I'm on O2.

No idea, my Stock 1.6 had lower upload speeds than the 2.2 version I have on my US Streak. I figured AT&T or Dell put some settings in to minimize my upload speeds.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

If you're in the UK, try these settings that O2 sent to me yesterday after my 3g stopped working for no reason. 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.
