TomTom One and Vodafone over GPRS

[mdhazell]

Can anyone help?

I have a TomTom One and a Vodafone contract mobile. No matter what I do I can't get it to connect for traffic over GPRS. However it connects first time using an Orange pay as you go.

Using the following settings I have managed to establish a GPRS connection but it always times out on the TT:

APN - wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username - wap
Password - wap
IP and DNS set to automatic.

Has anyone got a definitive list of settings for a Vodafone contract phone?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark, I suspect your APN. user name and password is incorrect try:

APN= Internet
User= web
Pass = web

It would appear you have the phone set-up for WAP based internet browsing, for TomTom Traffic (and any other Plus service) you need Full GPRS and true internet connectivity from your phone. As a simple test can you browse the internet site from your phone? - Mike

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I can browse on the mobile.

I've tried those other settings before and cannot even create a GPRS session.

Thanks for that A1. That sounds quite likely. I've passed your post onto our mobile department (we can't contact Vodafone ourselves). I'll post back here when I get a response.

Thanks again,

Superb, that was it.

Many thanks for your help.
