Vodafone Live on HTC Phones?

Anyone using Vodafone GPRS on HTC phones?
I use a HTC P3300 and when I contacted the Vodafone cust care to activate gprs, they claim that it doesn't work with HTC phones. Is that true?

ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE!!!
do not listen to those robbers. I had a Samsung Omnia, and used gprs with it. no need to activate advanced mobile connect. Just go to my work connection. make new connection. wap. and then enter settings. put snapshots here. i shall guide you step by step!

Do not know of Vodaphone but my P3300 didn't asked for any settings with Airtel. It worked at first instance only. Didn't entered any GPRS info.

Create a new cellular line modem in connection settings. Call it vodafone_gprs. Access point name is portalnmms. Username and password are blank.

Then go to Proxy settings. Select this network uses a proxy server. Now enter the proxy server for all the types i.e. HTTP, WAP, Secure WAP and Socks. The IP address is 10.10.1.100:9401.

Guys,

Is there a different setup to enable EDGE, or is it the same which uses EDGE automatically if you have an enabled handset?

No different setup is there to enable EDGE, You can see a "E" slogen whenever it is connected via EDGE aka Good signal quality is there.

EDIT: Something like this

Unfortunately not on the 6630, edge and GRPS show the same icon. 3G has its own icon, and thats why im interested to know if im on EDGE or not...

Thanks,

Rehaan,

I mean we don't need to do any special setup on a mobile. Though if you doubt regarding settings being not updated, delete all APN settings and

a) Just browse through below link..

https://nokiags.wdsglobal.com/standa...LanguageId=118

b) Somehow if still doubt remains, call up customer care and tell them to send settings at your mobile.


Hope it helps

Vodafone guys have been smoking some illegal stuff.

A friend of mine can't get GPS to work on his Blackberry and they've told him that GPS won't work on Vodafone Blackberry's.

I wonder what Vodafone (or any service provider for that matter) has got to do with GPS?

It's amazing how the Vodafone guys fool people by saying that Vodafone live will not work with windows based mobiles and for windows based mobiles you need to purchase Vodafone mobile connect costing Rs. 300/month and then 5p/10Kb of data transfer.

I activated it and then they called to ask me if I am using vodafone live on my HTC handset, when I said yes, they were like sorry sir you need to pay Vodafone mobile connect charges. Also the way you have activated you will not get EDGE only GPRS. lol. What a bunch of dung. I'm getting nice EDGE speeds in EDGE locations without a problem.

Alternatively, I wonder why your friend asked about GPS to Vodafone guys?
