Hi guys
I am currently a prepay customer on the Vodafone network. I also have the TXT2000 addon (and yes I do have remaining messages). I was so happy when i got my iphone 5 days ago. But the problem im having with it is that im being charged GPRS data rates for sending just SMS messages. I topped up 3 days ago and since then I have not used any of the services that require network usage (eg. maps, safari browser, weather, mail etc). I consistently check my network usage under: Settings > Usage > EDGE network data and I can see that my sent data is slowly going up (maybe 1KB per 3 SMS messages on average) and received data does not change. I am being charged about 10 cents per SMS message im sending.
I have rung vodafone 3 times about this and I have all spoken to different C.S.Rs and managers and all they can say is that I should make sure that I am not connected to any email account. When I first got the phone I did setup my email, and it was setup to check the mailbox MANUALLY. But for the last 2 days I have completely removed the details of my account on the phone and it still hasnt changed anything. Plus vodafone cannot tell me if its incoming or outgoing GPRS traffic.
Iphone firmware: 1.1.2
I am connected to my home Wi-fi
Data Roaming is OFF
My APN is BLANK
Any Ideas? Is anyone else having this problem?
