Hi karagor

Sorry to see that you are having a few difficulties with the internet settings.

As the help centre is not live yet with the Nokia N8, I don't have a set up guide on how to change these.

The settings do need to be:
wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: wap
Password: wap

I am sure on of our members can help to change this if you are having difficulties in changing these on the phone.

Hi Karagor

You shouldn't be charged for this :D if you do see a charge for the data because of this, please give me a shout and I can then take a look on your account.

settings, connectivity, settings, destinations

In Internet your wifi access points should be higest priority
followed by voda live and voda gprs

contract mms can be moved to uncategorised by long pressing
move to other destination
then stick it in uncategorised

Note I do not work for voda, My advice comes from experience and my opinions are my own

voda live and voda gprs..

 

where do we get these??

all i have is -- WLAN --- contract internet -- contract WAP -- PAYG WAP -- PAYG Internet...

 

and no they cant be moved,  they are 'protected network destinations'

Hi race_change

 

Just to clarify Voda Live would be Contract WAP/PAYG WAP, and Voda GPRS would be Contract Internet/PAYG Internet.

 

The services are the same, it's just a different way of naming them.

 

I trust this helps, but let me know if you've any further questions.

Re: Nokia N8 - Internet Settings?

oh, right. i understand. Is there a difference between WAP and GPRS? 1-which is faster/more efficient data usage? 2-as a monthly contract owner(with 500MB thrown in), would i be charged if phone connects to PAYG 'destination' or are the settings the same? 3-why do vodafone restrict altering or even viewing settings on network connections? 4-if im gonna be charged for PAYG dial in, how do i go about deleting a protected entry? Thanks for your time! 3-

bit more n8 specific. but how do i press enter on this phone. my posts, and prob mails all look loke the last post. A mess of unjustified text in one big block.



This should be several lines down. pressing the 'enter' like key next to back space. What a B*@&h, works ok in this post. Wer, then.... strange eh. Pressed enter three times/\ pressed enter twice. Pressed enter once/\
