Activating Vodafone GPRS (previously hutch)

Almost everybody know that Hutch is now Vodafone. This makes a change in procedure of activating GPRS on Vodafone mobile. Following is the procedure to activate Vodafone GPRS:

  1. Send sms ACT VL to 111.
  2. GPRS will be activated in 24 hours.
  3. After GPRS gets activate, you need to get settings.
  4. For settings sms VL <Phone Model> to 56789, Ex: VL N2626 for Nokia 2626
  5. You will receive MMS & GPRS settings back to back.
  6. Save both the settings & get connected!

I am not sure of charges for this service. Vodafone charges are varying from pre-paid & post paid. My friend is using pre-paid & there is no monthly charges for him & only paying for tranfers (10 paisa/10kb). I activated same thing on my post-paid connection & Vodafone charging me Rs.49/Month. For this monthly charge I will get

  1. 500 mb of transfer (I am not sure, I asked thrice when customer care girls told this). 5pais/10kb after that.
  2. 30 MMS, 3rs/mms after that.

So make sure of charges before activating this service.

    Can anyone help?

    I am unable to check my email account from my phone (Sony Ericsson K530i, PREPAID). I do not need to browse, just need to check my gmail account, but neither works.

    I called 111 was instructed to send VL to 52586 and then ACT VL to 144. I received this confirmation “Vodafone Live Service has been activated on your phone. Enjoy the new world of entertainment and information on Vodafone Live!”.

    I then chose VDF Mobile Connect in Internet Settings.

    BUT, I still get this error message “Connection Failure.Check settings.If problem persists, contact your operator”

    Hi all,

    Its very simple

    Cost 199 / month surfing 5p / 10kb

    To activate send ACT VMC199 to 111
    ( here 199 is the monthly cost if u want other plans like say 499 per month then send ACT VMC499)

    it takes 48 hrs to act
    Send WWW to 111 and it will send your settings for your mobile. Once you get reply for setting just select save from options and it will automatically conf setting in ur mobile

    Thats it u can now start surfing.

    Hi AJ,

    Thank you so much for explaining the Vodafone GPRS settings for HTC Touch. It finally worked. I cant believe how bad Vodafone customer support is. They absolutely have no clue about GPRS, settings etc. The probably are just reading from a manual or something and cant say anything beyond what they have in front of them. Thanks once again AJ for explaining the settings so well.

    Regards
