Vodafone GPRS setup

Hi,
I have an unlocked XDA using a Vodafone GPRS sim. I have followed the directions posted on this board to configure the GPRS and when I connect through the system settings, connections I (for a short while) get the 'G' symbol appear and then I get a connection dropped sound.
Is this due to a poor connection, or is there something wrong with the setup?

VODAFONE GPRS
I am using these settings:-
Modem type : Cellular Line (GPRS)
Baud rate : 19200
IP Address : Server assigned
Software compression : Off
Header Compression : Off
DNS : Server assigned
ALT DNS : Server assigned

Thanks guys, big help
Those settings worked for me in the UK with Vodafone, many thanks!

UK Vodafone GPRS
I have had all sorts of fun with Vodafone GPRS recently. It used to work then it packed up about a month ago for no apparent reason. After 6 calls to Vodafone support and all the usual hassle with trying to convince them that an O2 XDA will work with Vodafone it turned out they had disabled my GPRS account without telling me.
It took a further two calls to get the APN internet renabled. It seems that GPRS means WAP access to Vodafone, not necessarily internet access through an APN. Worth giving them a call to make sure you account is fully enabled for internet as well as WAP.

wi fi - cannot get IP address

well, i am still looking for an answer to my problem, maybe here i will find it...
i have the San Disk WIFI SD card for my I mate.
i have downloaded the driver of Socket, but still, i can connect to the hotspot but i cannot use the web.
because i am not an expert in WIFI i have asked one's opinion.
he asked me to check some details (i am enclosing them here).
he told me that my problem is not with my wifi card or in the network.
he told me that from unknown reason, i don't get an IP address.

I have also had this problem with my Socket wifi card on my XDAII using the latest version of the socket driver. I have had to revert to version of the Socket driver (142D) because of this problem. Version 142D works fine, but doesn't have such a fancy interface as the new version!
If you need a copy of this driver, PM me.

It didn't help

I Have had the same problem and gave my M1000 a fixt IP adres yours should be something like 192.168.1.12 or at least something else as what your pc has further I always setup the nameservers you can find them to type in a dosbox ipconfig/all the DNS servers there you have to steup in the configuration of the networkcard from your phone , which can be found at settings /connextions/networkadapters there you will find the Sandiskcard just click on it and the settings for it will apear.
Now you should have connextion then still your PDA don't now that it has to use the networkadapter to get a connextion so you have to tell it to him at conections/settings/select network and there select twice work Network, this is only for your internetconnextion true your browser but email needs a other setting which you can find at your email client/tools/options/accounts/your emailaccount/next/next/next/options/there you selct work network/next finnish and now you should have full internetacces with your phone true your accespoint, if you want to use your phone to get your email just change the settings from work to providor internet, it seems to be a little complcated but it gives me at least a verry stabele internetconnection
Sucses with it

JasJar and US T-mobile GPRS settings

I just got a new unlocked T-mobile branded JasJar this morning, and when i inserted the SIM card (US t-Mobile Voice and GPRS) the GPRS settings were blank. now, i've used this SIM in a pocketpc phone edition, and a smartphone - and i never had to set trhe GPRS settings they were setup by the SIM. also i have used the smartphone as a bluetooth modem with an iPAQ and all i had to set on the iPAQ was the APN (internet2.voicestream.com). unfortunately the same doesn't seem to work with the JasJar. i configured a GPRS setting, and set rhe APN to internet2.voicestream, left the user/password blank like other instances; but it didn't work
i've searched for the info, but all i find is U.K t-mobile settings. and it seems to be a JasJar specific problem since i have't had it on other devices. the lack of posts suggest i'm doing something stupid... but i don't know what it is
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!

ok i was being a bonehead i used the WORK connection instead of the internet connection.
Thanks!

GPRS or any other connection on PAYG?

hi,
I have been trying to solve this problem for ages now and i just cant seem to get GPRS working on pay as you go on o2. i am desperatly seeking for the help of anybody to fix this problem. Also if GPRS doesnt work is there any other connections you can use (not including WiFi), is there no way to get a different connection Eg, edge, dail up ect
thanks Dean

I used the settings on this site to set up my XDA on Orange PAYG, they also list O2 settings.

hi,
no luck there but thanks anyways. any other suggestions?

Where is it failing and what error do you get?

It just wont connect to GPRS, ive rang o2 and they said that they do not have any settings for it? i really need a wireless connection when im out and about

Maybe they don't do GPRS on PAYG, but that would surprise me. It may be worth posting up the connection details you have set and see if anyone can spot a problem.

[Q] GPRS on DVP while abroad

Hi,
I've unlocked T-Mobile DVP and I am currently on business in Asia. My operator here has GPRS (no 3G).
Here are my operator settings -
Account name: INTERNET
APN: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Proxy Address : 0.0.0.0
Port : 0
User ID : Blank
Password : Blank
These same settings work on HTC Mozart on my associates phone but I can't configure these on DVP. Is there a way to create new WAP profile in order to get Data services running.
Please let me know.

I think you need to get to the Diagnostic Menu
dial ##634# and you may need to hit “call” but on mine you I don't have to the menu comes up.
The option for MMS will allow you to input your settings.

I think you dont need any APN for GPRS. You can simply leave everything blank and it should automatically connect once you set Data Connection to ON.
Tata Docomo has good coverage. BSNL has the best coverage in India with 3G connectivity across India. If you want 3G connectivity across India you should go with BSNL they are the best
