Been thrown a Vodafone Blackberry and a V/fone SupaPrepay card to setup for data use - the prepay account came with 50mb free data but Im unable to get this thing to connect to anything.

Keeps giving "Data connection refused" or "There is insufficent network coverage to process your request".

Directions/information for this Blackberry n00b appreciated Smile

TIA

Go in and set the APN to www.vodafone.net.nz

You aren't going to get the Blackberry APNs on Prepaid

Even if you set the correct APN I doubt it will work on prepay.

It wont work for Blackberry email, but you should be able to browse the net with Opera. And there is a Gmail app if you want to use with a Gmail account
