Howdy,

I have read the sticky and a few of the many other articles on setting up 2 degrees internet on your android phone.  I just cant seem to get things to work.

I have a Vodafone 845 that I am running on 2degrees with my old telecom number carried over.  I cant seem to get the settings for my internet to work.  Any help on getting me up and running?  I live in Wanganui if that helps identify any issues.

Also how do I access the SIMToolkit on this phone if it has one?  I cant find where it would be.

Chur chur,
Kempy.

Didnt have any issue with data (on Telstraclear). Just changed the APN url and it worked.

MMS was hard to set up until I realise you have to restart the phone for the changes to take affect...
