Connection to vodafone uk internet

I have just purchased a k-jam and I am on a vodafone uk contract and I am not being able to connect to the internet. Can someone give me any advice on the necessary connection methods. Vodafone are not being of any help.

Assuming you have GPRS etc enabled on the SIM and its a contract SIM
use the following:
username: web
password: web
APN/Access Point Name: internet
Should work fine..

The best way to go online with your contract is to use GPRS. This is very easy to set up on the Wizard.
Firstly click Settings
Then click the Connections tab at the bottom
Next select Connections
Under My ISP, choose 'Add a new modem connection'
Give the connection a name (e.g. Vodafone GPRS) and select the modem type as 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'. Then click next.
Now enter the 'Access Point Name' as internet and click next.
Now enter the User Name as web and the password as web and finally click finish.
That should do it. Now open internet explorer and enter a web page and you should be ok. You will, of course, have to setup your e-mail settings separately.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Just unzip this and Install the Vodafone CAB.

Hi tried installing Vodafone_UK_PAYT.CAB on my XDA Mini S, goes through the install ok, but for some reason it doesn't seem to add any of the settings
Any ideas why? Does it need the k-kam ROM or some additional settings from this for it to work?
thanks in advance
Graeme

i wouldn't bother with the cab file at all. just set it up manually.
there is a good tutorial on vodafone web site:
http://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispat...&_pageLabel=Page_BOS_PDA_Guide&pageID=GM_0302
the salient points are:
dial:
*99#
post dial string:
+cgdcont=1,"ip","internet"
speed setting:
57600
untick:
wait for dialing tone
stop bits set to 2
user name:
web
password:
web

sorry to hyjack fellas but same topic . I have a wanadoo broadband contract and use a wireless modem router for my home PC network.

ok sorry doh all sorted now. Just had to click on the wifi icon and its connected surfin yeah. Now just got to set up my emails.

Just did this manually as per Hampers' post above but had to change the access point name to pp.vodafone.co.uk (case sensitive) for the connection to work as am using a Pay As You Talk sim

Hi guys,
Is any wizard user in delhi (India) using airtel as service provider?
The problem i'm facing is that i'm not able to send/recieve MMS messages on my O2 mini s.

The GPRS and rest of the things like sms, mail etc are working fine.
Here are the settings they gave me
Server Name : Airtel MMS
Gateway : 100.1.201.172
Port : 9201
Server Address : http://100.1.201.171:10021/mmsc

Same problem once upon a time.
But I have found that I was able to sucessfully send an MMS at night. I mean very late night or early morning I should say. When I asked the helpdesk, they told me that I happen to be in a network congested area. But then she was kind enough to give a reset on my profile which took me out of the network for a couple of minutes. When I was latched again, viola !!! no problems !!
Try that.!
By the way, what speeds do you get ? I get an excellent speed in Mumbai on Airtel than on Orange. Orange sucks real bad these days.

Hi araje,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried the resetting thing also but it was of no use.
Anyway I've found out the solution to this problem. Actually the GPRS settings that we use, has got the problem. Here's what i did ...
I created a new GPRS connection with the name MMS ( Cellular line (GPRS)).
gave the access point as airtelmms.com
In the advanced tab use "server assigned IP address", and enable the box "Use Ip header compression".
Now comes the real part...... in the servers tab, use "specific server address" and specify DNS as 100.1.201.172 and press OK.
Now to use the MMS part u go to connection settings, connect using this new connection and u'll be able to send and recieve MMS with out any problems.
For browsing and all use the other (ur normal) GPRS connection.
Though switching between connections is a pain in the a** but as i don't use MMS too much, it's ok for once in a while.
Well, Airtel provides EDGE connection in delhi (that's what my phone indicates me :wink: ), but when i use it to download something on my pc it gives me a speed of 4-5 Kbps. Though it is not good to surf on pc (anyway i use broadband at home and work), but is good enough to work on my wizard.
Also i cannot complain about it coz i get it for 99 bucks a month ... so what else could u expect

Hey Vineet,
Are you able to connect to Airtel Live ?
From the website here are the settings. I have been able to set some stuff but points 8,9,10-14 are tricky. I tried following your settings you used for mms but didnt help. Any idea how to set this ?
1 Connection Name: Airtel Live!
2 Data Bearer: GPRS
3 Access Point Name: airtelfun.com
4 Username: MSISDN e.g. 91982xx xxxxx
5 Prompt Password: No
6 Password: < blank >
7 Homepage: http://live.airtel.in
8 Connection Security: Off
9 Session Mode: Permanent
In case of the WAP 2.0 complaint phones, the following extra settings need to be done:
Under Options > Advanced Settings
10 Phone IP Address: Automatic
11 Primary name server: 0.0.0.0
12 Second. Name server: 0.0.0.0
13 Proxy server. address: 100.1.200.99
14 Proxy port number: 8080

hey what phone are you using??
i've mentioned the settings for wizard (O2 mini s), iguess others will also have similar settings.... try that and let me know...

I am using Qtek9100 with AKU rom.
The new connection I created was exactly on your lines.

I set most of the stuff based on the way you created your connection. But how did you specify the port 9201. In my case I put the server ip mentioned in point13 in the DNS entry. But there isnt anyway to enter the port number.
Are you able to use the airtel live website ? Also one thing is that my Airtel mobile office works perfect since I dont have to enter any advance settings. Just the APN, and no userid/password. However, the airtel live website doesnt load with this connection. I use it mainly for laptop.
Thanks for your help in advance

Airtel Karnataka MMS settings
Those of us who have approached Airtel for help in configuring MMS on Windows Mobile devices know that their very competent customer service reps are blissfully unaware of the existence of Windows Mobile OS leave alone its variants like WM 5, WM 6 and 6.1. Ans when they direct one to their 'special GPRS helpdesk' the special GPRS guys haven't heard of anything newer than WM 5 because they attempt to walk one through the WM 5 UI.
Well to avoid calling Airtel, activate the MMS service on your account by sending a text message MMS ACTV to 222. Once the service is active, do not ask for MMS settings to be sent over the air as Windows Mobile doesn't accept OTA settings. Instead key-in the settings yourself:
MMS Settings for the Sony Ericssson X1i (Xperia)
Windows Mobile 6.1
1. Tap Start -> Settings
2. On the Settings screen tap on the Connections tab
3. Tap the Connections icon
4. Tap Manage Existing Connections
5. Tap on New to create a new data account
6. Type-in AirtelMMS or MMS under Enter a name for the connection
7. Choose Celular Line (GPRS, 3G) from the drop-down list under Select a modem
8. Tap Next
9. Type-in airtelmms.com under Acess point name
10. Tap Next
11. Leave the username, password and all other fields blank
12. Tap Finish
If there is more than one data connection configured on the Manage Existing Connections page, please ensure that the radio button beside Auto Pick is selected.
Tap OK to exit and tap OK once again to return to the main settings page.
Tap Start -> Messaging
Tap SMS \ MMS
Tap Menu -> MMS Options
Place a check mark beside the following:
• Save sent messages
• Allow delivery Report
• Allow Read report
Set the Retrieval mode to Auto
Set the Attempts before giving up to 3
Tap on Servers
Tap New
Under Server Name enter AirtelMMS or MMS
The Gateway should be set to 100.1.201.172
The Port number should be set to 8799
Enter http://100.1.201.171:10021/mmsc under server address
Under Connect Via, please choose the name of the data account created in step 6 above
Choose 100K as the send limit
And set the WAPVersion to WAP 2.0
Tap Done
Tap OK to return to SMS \ MMS
and bob's your uncle

Help Setup GPRS @ Airtel (Bharti) MDA

I bought a T-Mobile MDA, unlocked it and have the latest Mr. Clean AKU 2 which was published here. But when i came back to India i cannot find a way to change settings for Airtel (airtelgprs).
After flashing the phone with Mr. Clean ROM, i installed the T-Mobile US seetings to automatiocally set-up the T-Mobile EDGE/GPRS. Now i want to know how can i remove the T-Mobile settings and configure to use with Airtel GPRS.

u can use the following settings for mobile office
access point : airtelgprs.com
connection name: mobileoffice
connection type: Cellular Line (GPRS)
jus set these up as My ISP and restart ur fone, everything will work.
this is for airtel bangalore. other places will remain same

pratap,
thanks for the info. But when i go to Start >> Settings >> Connections >> GPRS settings, it gives me only 2 options
Please select your GPRS authentication method
1. PAP Authentication and
2. CHAP Authentication
And it does not have any other options like menu or Next. I need to know how and from where i can access the real settings. I think T-Mobile US does not want users to know all the details and Airtel in India do. I think i have to remove the T-Mobile customization. Not Sure :-(

Setting->Connections->Connections->My ISP + Add a new connections is where you should be.

It Works!!! Hurray....Thanks Kevino....
Peace :lol:

SOS!! My HD2 cannot connect to web on O2 "Problem Solved"

Hi all,
I've got my sim-free HD2 from superetrader uk. But after inserting my o2 sim, I got a really big problem that I can't get to web!!
I used "O2" network settings found by HD2 automatically. But it always said
"Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection...blahblah"
when I tried to access 3G.
I've tried many ways suggested on the internet, including removing username and password in the connection settings, adding DNS ip, and even using hard reset. But thay can't work at all.
But my sim does work well(accessing 3G) in my HTC HD(that rom supports 3G and connection settings are with blank username, password and DNS).
I nearly suspect there is a manufacturing problem with my phone.
Plz help me! I've struggled for 2 days and gonna explode!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
To find a solution, please go to #6. Thanks!

can you try to go on the o2 site using your pc and download the settings to your phone via mms/sms

are you a payg customer

are you using pay as you go?
if so on my mates phone on O2 it downloads the wrong connection settings when it does the automatic setup and you need to edit them to get it to work

Find and edit the right name for your accesspoint.
At german o2 it is APN (Zugriffspunkt) : webmobil1

Thank you all!!
You helpful guys all hit the point!!
Exactly I am a pay & go user.
After I got your replys, I asked my friend who also uses O2 pay&go with S1. He told me a different APN. Then I tried and it worked!!
So it's right a wrong access point name setting problem.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AGAIN!!
Here are my correct connection settings for UK O2 PAY & GO USER WITH A SIM FREE HD2 if you undergo a pain with accessing internet:
Settings - Wireless controls - Menu - Connections - Add a new modem connection
[you can delete all other connections first if you only use o2 mobile internet]
Enter a name for the connection: mobile web (whatever you like)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Next.
Access point name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Next.
User name:
Password:
Domain:
(These three items are all left BLANK)
Advanced...
(Just use the default settings)
Finish.
OK.
OK.
Close.
Now it works.
Alternatively, you can use automatic config by choosing O2 from network database of HD2. Then you can just manage the connection "moblie web" by changing access poing name to payandgo.o2.co.uk and deleting both username and password.
Hope that's clear!

Thank you loads! I was having the same problem and thanks to this post I managed to sort it! Nice to know the automatic O2 settings thing works about as well as a chocolate teapot!
Again thanks
