Just to let you know that this imported handset is appearing in outlets over here (NZ). Currently, the phone cannot be configured to work on the VFNZ network either for WAP browsing or MMS messaging. Shame - because it's a great phone. 136 views of my last post and not a single suggestion or reply indicate that there is no forseeable solution to this problem. Just thought I should share before anyone forks out some serious cash for something that won't work! Hope this helps.
Yes, I am in Auckland! I'd love to get it working. As to wether it is GSM 900 1800, I can only assume that it is. It can connect via GPRS to get email, and also connect to the WAP browser (OPENWAVE) software site via GPRS when I delete all other profiles in the phone. It just won't play ball with the settings from the VFNZ site. Any help VERY much appreciated! P.S. Just read the box and can confirm its Tri Band, with i.e. 900/1800 and 1900
Issues Resolved - The phone works an absolute treat, but only thanks to help and support of jcr976. It's great to know that people take note of what goes on, and that there are people who can help just for the sake of helping. Thank you very, very much!
OK - first things first. Are you sure that Vodafone have data enabled your phone account? And are you using what they call a Sim2 card - I'm pretty sure that you need the latest Sim for them to function properly.
Phone settings:
Press Menu, Press 4 for Browser, Press 5 Settings. Choose 1 and type over any profiles you may have already on the unit.
hey
i just bought the samsung d500,
i was having trouble with the mms settings and the wap settings,
but THANKS to your help, i got the wap settings all sorted,
but i still can't seem to be getting my mms sorted?
it keeps saying "Authentication Error" when i put the port nmber as "8080"
but wen i put the port number as "9201" it say "cannot connect to server"
Menu > Messages > 2 Multimedia Messages > 7 Settings > 3 MMS Profiles > 2 Profile Settings > the top level profile reads as follows on mine
Profile Name: Vodafone
Server URL: http://pxt.vodafone.net.nz/pxtsend (make sure this is exact and that there is no www and 2 //)
Proxy: Enable
Click on GPRS Settings
IP Address 172.030.038.003 (the zeros will disappear and it will then read 172.30.38.3)
Port: 8080
APN: live.vodafone.com
Login:leave blank
PAssword: leave blank
Worth remembering is that Vodafone NZ has a 100k limit on MMS and the phone can take much bigger photo images.
thanks sethw, I can now send MMS :-). All I need to do now is sort out my settings for browsing. I'm still getting the message "Error: Cannot resolve hostname
