Have you installed the vodafone carrier file (via itunes)? When I installed it I lost the ability to make changes to the cellular data network settings. I ended up restoring my iphone so I could remove the carrier file as it gives me more flexibility to make changes to the settings.

Leiva

Nice post mate...have em all but credit where credits due !

Rushdie

Thanks for the voicemail one also works with Meteor.:)

if you can't see cellular data network settings then you can assume the carrier file has been installed.

Did you download Carrier Settings via iTunes? If you did that then it removes the 'celular data network option' meaning you can't use custom APNs...

you may get the option again to d/l carrier settings which you can ignore.... having said that I have never had that option in the first place despite restoring a few times...

scout353

If you restore the phone do you lose everything?

And why the hell does VF's settings not facilitate MMS by default!

When I restored a message popped up in Itunes saying a carrier file was available for download. I just cancelled that option and synced with Itunes as normal.
The carrier file should already contain all the required settings including those for MMS messages so I'd raise this with vodafone customer support before I'd go to the hassle of restoring your phone. The vodafone guys on Boards are usually very helpful. You can contact them here..

Anyone get delivery reports working yet on vodafone?

locha

Hi, I just removed my "CAll Forwarding" by entering the ##002# which worked a treat. The problem I now have is that my phone won't divert to voicemail and just keeps ringing out! Has anyone else experienced this and if so how do I fix it?
Appreciate the help.

If you jailbreak it you can install a couple of apps to get it working

BiteSMS Grip and iPhoneDelivery will do the job.

Ricky91t

Thanks for this post, just got a 3GS and although I installed the carrier file (Which is why I'm downloading the 3.1.3 firmware to restore :pac: ) this means I can set it up to use the same connection as my N96 8GB
