i thought if you called Vodafone NZ, they would just send you a text that has the pxt and internet settings and youll be fine?

I think my friend has a g600 and as far as i know it works fine with everything.

If you know someone else with a g600, nosey their phone and see the settings.

Find an online manual for the g600 and see how you go about creating a data account
