Useful Tips for the Unlocked iPhone #4: Vodafone GPRS settings
A friend of mine also recently got an unlocked iPhone. I posted recently with the fix to get I used to get his iPhone Voicemail button working. At the end of last week, he finally got around to signing up to an internet package from Vodafone UK. Needless to say, we had a few issues getting it to work properly.
In my original “Useful Tips for the Unlocked iPhone” post I linked to a page on the Carphone Warehouse website which has listings for mobile internet settings for all the UK carriers. Unfortunately we couldn’t get his iPhone to play using these settings. I did a quick search and found some alternate settings for various flavours of Vodafone internet service. The settings that worked for us were the ones for the Vodafone “Web service” rather than GPRS. They are:
- APN: internet
- Username: web
- Password: web
Simple as that. Happy iPhone surfing Vodafone users….

If it is any consolation, I paid thru the iphoneunlock people too, 29,99 + vat. They then point out that the unlock doesn’t work with 02 payandgo (there are no “edge” settings available). Everything works on the phone except internet
connection (works fine thru wi-fi) but going to go into t-mobile and see if I can get it working with one of their SOLO + web’n'walk packages.

@Phil
Those settings worked for us so I didn’t investigate further. You could try the alternate settings listed on the Carphone Warehouse page linked above. Good hunting….
