Internet settings for vodafone.. Cant get them to work :(

Niamhiolio

I got a Sony Ericsson W595 on three but I got the phone unlocked so I can use my old vodafone sim card on it.

Now I can't get on the internet and the vodafone internet settings I'm finding through google don't seem to be working.

Maybe I'm just putting the settings into my phone wrong or something but it would be great if someone could help me with this please?

Deadly! I was thinking of getting the w595 and unlocking it for vodafone too, how did you get it unlocked, had you to pay for the unlock?

Niamhiolio

Ya can get it on vodafone now in the black and red colour i think, might be as handy for ya to get it on vodafone instead of the hassle of unlocking it from one network to the other. Yea i had ta pay for it, was a bit of a balls cos i had to send it away for a week to get it unlocked. Its a good phone though if do think about buying one!:)

there 199 on vodafone and 129 on 3, think I'll get it on 3 and unlock it myself online:):) Save a good few euros/ get the 6500 on 3 instead of vodafone since I broke the 6500 I had already:(:(

Yes, it is best to start from scratch. Delete the settings that are currently present and re-send the settings to your handset.
