After more than 4 months of owning my HTC S710 phone, I by accident found the settings for GPRS on my HTC phone using Vodafone India services. I had earlier tried to get the settings from Vodafone Care with no luck.
Initially I was insulted by being asked if HTC is a cheap crap chinese phone?!? Then they say that its not possible to get the normal Vodafone Live settings on my HTC as it was running Windows Mobile.
They were more interested in making me subscribe for Mobile Connect, their Rs.199/- or 5$ a month with full access to the internet. I was sure I did not need that as I had wifi connectivity at home, at most of my friends places and heck internet even in a car!!. The only reason I wished that I had vodafone gprs on my mobile was to have a backup in case I took a vacation or if I am stuck travelling or if I get abducted by terrorists. 5$ a month is a bit too much to my already in the roof phone bills (cannot be translated that I have a gf now!)
After a bit of playing around with the settings at the official site, I dicsovered the right mix for GPRS in HTC Mobiles with Vodafone India! Here goes:
First go to Settings -> Connections -> Hutch WAP (GPRS) (or create if you dont have this already)
Connects to: Work
Access point: portalnmms
User name: (empty)
Password: (empty)
Authentication type: Select the option ‘None’
Primary DNS: (empty)
2nd DNS: (empty)
IP Address: 10.10.1.100
Then go to Settings ->Proxy -> Hutch WAP Proxy (Again, create if you don’t have it already)
Connects from: Work
Connects to: WAP Network
Proxy (Name:port):10.10.1.100:9401
Type: Select ‘HTTP’
User Name: (empty)
Password: (empty)
Open Internet Explorer -> Tool -> Options -> Connections
Un-check the Automatically Detect Settings option
Select Network: WAP Network
After this, be sure to reboot your phone and thats it! Voila, Free Vodafone on HTC without having to subscribe to their 199 a month Mobile Connect Plan. I will report again in a few days if its possible to acctually connect my htc phone with a laptop and access the internet. See the Edge(E) symbol on the signal on my screenshot:

Sriparna
thanks it worked for me on my moto q8 (windows mobile 6) …. but i cannot get he windows update or windows live to work… i guess we will need to buy the plan for that…. thanks again eben motorola customercare couldn’t help me.
@ Sriparna, glad it helped you
But currently I am in bangalore, using my vodafone on roaming here, but i am not able to get the net here. I think the tinkering with the proxies shud help in getting those settings right as well
@ prashant, I am not able to get the windows mobile update on my htc as well, I think there is something wrong with that. do you get the same error which comes when you switch on the phone?
My phone when switched on says that i cannot use all the services due to some network error and then the network wizard starts.
Thanks a ton man, my windows mobile is now working with gprs on vodafone, but as someone above me said, updates not yet working, you have a solution?
thanks a lot yaar….

Hey man thanks alot.Thanks for saving 199rs a month.NIce Research….
@ everyone…I recently discovered that windows phone accesses the internet without permission…esp. the palringo chat…
so be careful about the bills! I used this on post paid and learnt the hard way
So I don’t understand…the settings in the original post work only in the city in which they were tested? And will not work in any other area?
I have an HTC Touch Diamond, and I will be in Kolkata. How can I figure out the settings?
I am not sure about that. But you can always try the above settings to see if it works on your vodafone for gprs…@ chukles
Oh man! Thanks a lot for the settings and it is actually working now. Great!
I really appreciate!
hey if any one knows vodafone gprs seetings for htc p3400 please reply.
Hi,
Can i have setting fro airtel.
kiran
I am not sure if I can get them for you Kiran…I am mostly a Vodafone guy though I worked with Airtel for sometime
Hiii Anand,
You will think that i am asking you queries on the same topic again & again but i am not able to surf the net. With the settings u had given i was able to surf net without any problem but one fine day in the morning when i tried to see my mails it showed the msg “The address is not valid. Check the address & try again.” & since then when i try to open any web-site it flashes the above msg. The GPRS monitor shows the status connected but i am unable to open the site, proceed further. What is the problem?
Amod
hello Amod,
not a problem, I will try my best to help you out with the vodafone gprs problems if you promise to buy me lunch someday!
I had that exact problem sometime back. And i was at a loss too, but after some days it started working by itself again
I have no idea why. maybe deleting tht gprs profile and creating a new profile will help!
On HTC not a single website is opening “The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. check the connection & try again later.”error is coming could u pls mail me the details of the problem to my mail id which is vishal.bhatt@yahoo.com it will be of gr8 help.

Hello friends,
pls tell me the gprs settings to connect the vodafone gprs in my htc p3400i mobile.
Hi,
I recently bought an HTC S710 and was really bugged by the fact that Vodafone Live did not work on it. I called up Vodaone but the dummies seemed to have no idea! Even the HTC technical care told me that Vodafone Live won’t work on HTC since its a windows mobile! And here i am no, using it on the same phone!
I am soo soo grateful to u for these settings!!
Puneet
Thanks a lot yaar, it worked on my htc p3400i… i wanted to know how i can play the youtube videos because videos are not playing when i open youtube in my mobile…
Hi,
I tried the instructions you said on my Asus p320 with winmo6.1 on Vodafone network, i an unable to access the internet, Can you clarify if the method you used is applicable only on HTC cos its not working on mine??
Hi, Can you please provide GPRS settings for O2 XDA Mini for Vodafone?
Thanks in advance
Hi Anand,i have configured the gprs settings on my imate kjam and status is also connected but i am not able to surf the net with gprs or wifi.please help me out in this.
Thanks
hey guys, I am not sure if these settings will work on your make since I found this out in trial and error. Also, it seems that I have been charged for the usage of vodafone gprs, making it paid, not free
Also, make sure you use the internet explorer setting of use preferred connection as I found many had not set tht up properly.
Hey Anand, You made my day…. Finally got my HTC browsing the net!!! Thanks man…
Hi, hows the browser like in HTC, does it support popups and flash.. opr java applets?
Actually i wanted to use gprs on travel for day trading
the browser is normal…does not support flash or popups/java…..i think skyfire browser supports flash…dnt know about popups/java…try it out
Hi, I have a HTC P3400i , do i use the same procedure in getting the GPRS settings?
I have purchased a HTC Google G1 T mobile phone in Singapore and used it successfully with singtel sim and connection as it is a Unlocked Phone.
However, in India with Vodafone I can only get voice calls and cannot connect to the net.
Any solutions, the Vodafone Helpline is at a loss.
Cannot really know why the phone is not working here. No browsing, no maps, no music downloads. Says not connected. I have subscription for both Vodafone connect and GPRS.
Hi anand, i hv tried the settings as mentioned by u but it shows the msg “The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. check the connection & try again later.”
I am using HTC p3400i, i think this is same issue as seen by Amod. could u pls mail me the solution to problem to my mail id naveenbk@gmail.com.
