Vodafone Access Points Question

massivemagumbos

Just changed over to Vodafone Bill Pay. I'm just wondering what access points I should choose for different things? Whats the difference between:

1. Vodafone ISP (i'm guessing is the internet usage point - is this really expensive?? per kilobyte or can i buy bundles??)

2. Vodafone live !

3. Vodafone live ! Stea..

4. Vodafone MMS (guessing these settings are used to send and receive MMSs)

any help wud be great!

ISP - for general internet usage (email, browsing etc). costs are high 2c/KB up to 512 KBs and 0.5c/KB for any usage over 512KBs but you can get 25mb for 15 euros (great eh! not)

live - for voda live services. Charged differently but go to www.vodafone.ie for prices

stream - for tv served from the live pages

mms - multimedia messages only (picture messages)

....e great!

minimum charge of 10 kb on bilpay (20c) unless you're on a bundle so be careful straying away from Vodafone live! free to view pages

thanks,

does anybody know how i get the vodafone live! menu and all that stuff onto my sim free N95? just save it as a homepage or something? whats the address? will i get it free of charge as long as i go through vodafone live! access point?

well presumably you have used the settings wizard to install all the acess points!

menu > web > settings and set the deault access point as vodafone live and use the default home page (live.vodafone.com)

i used the setting wizard just there. and its picking up all them access points. so i went to http://live.vodafone.com and i get no package data connection error.

any non Vodafone access points there?

if you followed my instructions, you should be able to press 0 and connect straight to Vodafone Live! , ie no need to type in http://live.vodafone.com

Anyone know what the setting are on the phone for these i.e. vodafone live!

still no luck. I stuck my vodafone sim card into my N95. I'm picking up all the access points, but how do i access the Vodafone Live! homepage?

it keeps telling me "Packet Data Connection Not Available"

Settings are:
Hiomepage: http://live.vodafone.com
Proxy Enabled: Yes
Proxy address: 010.024.059.100
Port: 80
APN: live.vodafone.com
user: dublin
password: dublin

Should do the trick.
Make sure you set this to the default web

thanks, but where do i put these in?? when i got into tools>settings>connection>access points> new access point all i get is the option to input 1) Connection name 2) Data Bearer 3) Access Point Name 4) User Name 5) Prompt password 6) Password 7) Authentication 8) homepage

surely it has to be easier than this for non-techy normal folk?

1) Connection name:Vodafone Live!
2) Data Bearer: packet data
3) Access Point Name: live.vodafone.com
4) User Name: dublin
5) Prompt password: no
6) Password:dublin
7) Authentication: normal
8) homepage: http://live.vodafone.com


then if you press options, there should be an option "advanced settings" which will let you enter the rest


Network type: IPv4
Phone IP address: automatic
Name Servers: automatic
Proxy server address: 010.024.059.100
Proxy port number: 80
