If you still have a problem, could it be to do with your sim?

I recall some people having to change their sim after changing to this particular phone... but i could be mistaken.

updated settings and i am now getting connection timeout any ideas

when you say you updated the settings, did you enter them as i posted the above or did you get them sent from the site? and when you were trying to access the net are you sure you were using the right profile? are there a few with the same name?

could you use the internet on your old phone?

how old is your sim?

entered them as you posted and vodafone live browser opens are the settings for mms the same

yeah you opened the live browser but that doesn't necessarily mean it was using the live settings. did it ask you which profile to use when you tried to go to a website or how did you know it was using the right one?

did you find a place to enter every one of the settings in my post and is there anything you weren't sure of?

and how old is your sim and could you access the net on your old phone?

the mms settings are similar but not the same. Lets get this working first because if you can't get the net working chances are mms won't work either

Does the error pop up on multiple sites, or one site in particular?

Mine has generated the same problem on one or two slower sites.
