So far i can do MMS to other vodafone ireland people cant seem to get it to work to other networks, incoming from other networks appears but you can open them, also the e-mail function will only work to vodafone.ie send it to another address and it never arrives. Thats my experience so far, anyone else got anything different?

As far as I know you cannot send MMS messages to other networks in Ireland. I read that some where. Vodafone and O2 are apparently going to rectify that.

same still in the same position here - tried to get it set up with a Voda bill-pay and pre-pay account - can't send or recieve using a 7650 - rang back a few times thursday - only so much 'cus i like ya i like ya i like i ya i like i ya i like i ya i like... hold music my ear can handle - so left it for the weekend

looks like they have some more 'switches' to flip at their end - or maybe is there something up with the V3.12 firmware and Voda's network (dunno about that as the T68i won't work for me on Voda either) - so think it's more to do with the accounts

got it working with O2 bill-pay and pre-pay with no hassle on each phone - during the call they provisioned MMS on the account and SMSed out the settings to the phones - was able to snap and send with no problems right after

Well I've got ver 3.16 firmware, so unless it needs an even newer one; are the Vodafone 7650s in the shops yet? You could ask for a demo and see what software ver they have.

I think they were supposed to go on sale from last Thursday, sold two handsets on day of launch (woo-hoo :rolleyes:). I'm using 4.36 at the moment. I *think* they're selling this version to Joe Public. 4.37 is on the way too.

When a MMS message is sent to my phone, it knows that its there, and says retrieving message, the square comes up around the G and stays like that for a while, then just goes back to the antenna symbol and no sign of the message.

Works fine for me on O2 except sending or recieving from Vodafone ...anyone know when they hope to have that sorted out ?

Chips Lovell

I've heard contradictory reports on interoperability. Vodafone were saying they were hoping to have it from launch, which obviously didn't happen. O2 sounded less optimistic and merely said that they hoped to have it 'in the coming weeks'. Since it's in both of their interests I can't see them hanging around on this one. Sometime before Christmas is my best guess.

Fidelis

I'm not sure what to make of these Vodafone 7650 MMS problems. As far as our guys are concerned, the MMS launch was a success and although there were some teething problems the week before the launch, there hasn't been any problems since. I can only suggest that maybe there's a back-log of MMS subscriptions to be processed, although that sounds a little hard to believe.

I think I'm based on an internal MMS server which may be why I'm not experiencing any problems. The service is up and working. Try droping Customer Ops. a line and see if you get anywhere there.

bkehoe

Sending and receiving still dont work here. Same problem all the time. Phone does see that there is a message for it, and pops up 'retrieving message' when I send one to it from the online mms composer, and I cant send anything.

Brendan

sirlinux

had that problem with a t68i at the start, senior tech support person had to sort, you need some sort of different profile than normal one enabled, i.e. the normal customer service people just turn on GPRS but you need other stuff done.

bkehoe

I had GPRS since April, and got MMS enabled last week, after which the phone was able to establish a connection to the MMS AP, something it wasnt able to do before they enabled MMS for me.

Lex_Diamonds

Can those with Voda MMS send to themselves? Its not working for me, does that mean it isnt enabled on my account?

Make sure you remember what they do in case whatever they do fixes it!

so are the 7650's worth E340 bill or E550 ready to go?

what do people think of them ? I was thinking about getting one but a device like that (and that costs that much) you have to get a feel for to see if you like how it works.

is there any difference in price if you have your mms system setup to use gprs or csd?

sirlinux

I havent been able to get MMS working by dialup rather than GPRS the number they gave me doesnt seem to work.

MiCr0

i can get it to work no problems with csd
any one else?

sirlinux

whats your dial up number user name and password?

MiCr0

i'm using my vodafone wap account as the data account
phone: +353872292222
username/password: dublin

[edited to add an extra 2]

bkehoe

I've HSCSD set up for emails and webbrowsing, and it doesnt appear in the Access Point list in the MMS settings. Same thing with RealOne player when I tried it; only GPRS APs were available.

MiCr0

is there something odd up with e-merge wap using hscsd?
it isn't working @ all for me
it will only connect @ 9600

bkehoe

Havent used wap using the dialup number since the GPRS trials started, though I'll give it a go in a few mins to see.
