Vodafone Live! GPRS and EDGE connections do get activated well in time, but the company always fails to send the settings to the particular mobiles. I myself too had the issues with the settings of GPRS for internet connection on my mobile phone with the Vodafone carrier. Asked the customer care but to vain, so a search through the internet helped. Below are the settings for the Samsung, Sony ericsson, Nokia and the Chinese manufactured mobiles and for different locations.

More info

  • As we have shared the info only about Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu you can enter the same details for any state, but the only problem would be the proxy port which is different for every state usually. You can confirm this and get the Proxy port information by calling the customer care (111 for Vodafone).
  • For any settings you change, you need to restart the phone and then try browsing the internet as the settings saved get activated after the phone is restarted once.
  • If the device is not recognized by your carrier and the settings don’t work, you should once remove the SIM card from the device, reinsert it and then call the customer care to confirm whether the device is recognized. If not, you need to ask them to manually save the mobile phone model and send the settings for that particular mobile phone.
  • The Vodafone GPRS and Internet plans with Blackberry mobiles are exclusively done with the mobile company, so they send the correct settings once you opt with any plan, which is not like the normal GPRS plans that you use with the Nokia, Sony ericsson and Samsung devices. Below are the different settings for Nokia, Samsung and Sony ericsson phones.

Get GPRS Settings from Vodafone by SMS

Once you activate Vodafone Live! you get the settings automatically as you are a first time subscriber, but in case you don’t receive any settings, just send an SMS as VL to 52586, so that the settings are delivered to your mobile through SMS. This would happen only if your handset is already recognized in the Vodafone system. If it doesn’t then you need to call the customer care and confirm the device.
