|
|
I have a tomtom 910 and a nokia 6230 (Vodafone payg). I cannot get the plus services to work because each time the tomtom tries to set it up my phone reports an error "Suscribe to GPRS first" I have downloaded various sim updates from vodaphone even spent 25minutes manually updating them. Still no good, has any one come across this before? Can you help? Not sure if it is phone or GPS?
Thanks
Mike |

Contact Vodaphone and see if they will activate GPRS on your phone, not all pay as go service providers allow full GPRS connection though - Mike |

The simple asnwer is go over to Orange, I had a similar proble to you with O2 (as also did a friend) My friend solved the problem by going Contract on O2. I took the other route, I got an Orange PAYG card - it works fine. _________________ Ipaq hx2750, TTN5, Globalsat 338 GPS, Garmin Nuvi 310D and GTM12, TomTom GO910 and now GO540
