Setting up WAP on a Toshiba G500

Plasmoid

So i got my hands on a G500 for free... at least for now.

Its unlocked, unbranded, so right now i got my vodafone payg sim card in it.

I've come from a 3510i, so its a bit of a jump for me. So i've got this nice shiny HSDPA capable phone, and its got no settings to let me use anything.

I assume i have stuck in what i found on the net for a basic gprs connection and what was on my old phone (just changed the homepage from wap.e-merge.net... yes its that old) and nothing. Tried a few more things and nothing.
I've tried wap.vodafone.ie, isp.vodafone.ie, live.vodafone.com with various ip's that i found from googling, but none of em worked... and from what i can tell the live.vodafone.com one should definitly work.

When i go to internet explorer and set it to use the new connection i have setup and try to browse it shows the icon the top right that it trying to connect and then it will sit there all day or give a pretty generic could not reach error.

Im using live.vodafone.com, dublin dublin for username pass, 10.24.59.100 as the ip and setting it up as a gprs connection.

Also, if somone can solve my problems, what kind of ludicrous charges can i expect and is hspda even possible for a payg user?

the vodafone settings are in a sticky at the top of the forum. Here's a direct link

did you find somewhere to tell it to use a proxy and to use port 80?

and live.vodafone.com is right

if you get the live apn to work, you'll pay 99c a day for up to 50mb, so 30 a month for full access

Yeah i was following that thread as much as i could.

It doesnt have proxy settings in the gprs connection settings... it has proxy settings elsewhere in the brilliant wm5 way, and they are a little confusing.

In the proxy settings it has the following options.
Connects from (i put in WAP network)
Connect to (i guessed The internet)
Proxy (tried 10.24.59.100:80)
Type (tried http,wap,socks4)
Username, password (tried dublin,dublin)

I dont think the problem is the proxy though, i still havent been charged anything so i guess its not working.

p.s. Got a text first thing this morning from vodafone saying thanks for upgrading our phone and hope you enjoy it... i got the twilight zone music going through my head.

what are the options here

Connect to (i guessed The internet)

again, what are the options


Proxy (tried 10.24.59.100:80)
that looks about right but i don't know if that's how the phone represents it



Type (tried http,wap,socks4)
not sure on this one. i think its http though


Username, password (tried dublin,dublin)
they're definitely right

Have you tried a new sim card. If you are on a really old vodafone or even an eircell card it may not be capable of using the GPRS or any of them protocols
