Yes i did try Vodafone Mobile connect recently, then everything started working. Problem is the VMC rates are ridiculously high. Tried my brother's loop mobile and everything works with the normal gprs plan itself. Same with Idea cellular. Am seriously waiting for the number portablility thing to start, will then ditch Vodafone for Tata Docomo. Till then i'm thinking of trying VMC for a month (the Rs.250 for 100mb plan)
The thing is Android is a very internet dependent platform, with most apps requiring an internet connection. It really helps to have a good data plan.
I finally got it worked out. As it turns out, the plan that I was on (EasyOwn) is just WAP. I upgraded to a new one called M-Zone and now it uses GPRS and everything works. This is after quite a few calls to China Mobile and asking around at various shops that sell SIM cards for the various plans. It seems that a lot of people didn't know the difference.
So Gurdeep.Singh.Mander hit the nail on the head. When I asked that question specifically, they didn't know. So I took a chance and upgraded my plan and 'presto'. Happy as a clam.

Thanks. Can u please give me the settings to be made for vodafone edge on i5700. the settings wat in hav got from the n/w on sim registeration as well as this VL to 52586 is not allowing me to use EDGE. I have activated the service but the settings is troubling.
thanx for the info, I activated my Vodafone Mobile Connect in my sim, but since I have Prepaid I had to send these codes to 144 instead of 111.
Can u please giv me the APN settings for vodafone MC or VLive bangalore.
Thanks for the settings. The reply for ACT VMC25 to 144 is your request could not be processed. This Edge connectivity with vodafone is screwing me.. !
ya i know, even i tried that ACT VMC25 but it doesn't work in prepaid, you
can use ACT VMC and it charges 10kb/5ps.
Hi all,
Can somebody give me APN setting for sending/receiving MMS from my Samsung Galaxy mobile ? I am using Postpaid connection from Airtel in Karnataka, India.
I have set AirtelLive APN for GPRS and browsing the internet without any issues. Only MMS is the problem.
I have already checked with Airtel customer care, but they could not give me the proper settings.
Thanks in advance,

Vodafone GPRS works on every phone
Correct settings for android phones :
Name - vodafone live
APN - portalnmms
Proxy - 10.10.1.100
Port - 9401
MMSC - http://live.vodafone.in
MCC - 404
MNC - 11
Auth. Type - PAP or CHAP
APN type - internet
all other are left blank
Check MCC and MNC setting for each state(search wikipedia for that)
These setting worked for me in Samsung Galaxy S Vodafone Delhi.
I am not sure how it is working for you, I have been trying it from last couple of months on Samsung Galaxy 3 with same settings. Thing is you will be only able to browse websites with these settings but will not be able to access it through any other app (Gmail, Maps, Facebook, etc), so there is no use of it. And talking about VMC, that was meant for accessing Internet by connecting it to your machine. Vodafone live works perfectly fine on Nokia, Samsung (non-android, even on Wave) and many other models with all apps able to connect.
I have been waiting for number portability but it doesn't seems to be here soon. So, now I am planning to switch to Airtel. I tried Aircel, everything is working fine but it is too slow and unavailable at some places.
Android rocks!!!!!!!!! Vodafone Sucks!!!!!!!!!
After fiddling around with some of the settings I finally found a solution for my phone. (It was still able to access the web through the browser, but couldn't use the network for Google Maps, Twitter for Android, etc.):
Under Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names I found "VF MMS" and "connect."
"VF MMS" was ticked. When I ticked "connect" instead, everything starting working again. (I don't remember altering this setting before, but I may have done so, or maybe some app I installed changed this setting.)
So for my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant from t-mobile in the U.S., setting it to "connect" makes Google Maps, Twitter and other apps work well on the Vodafone network here in New Zealand. No more "network connection lost - retrying" messages.
I hope that saves someone from having to figure this out all over again. The guys at the local Vodafone shop weren't aware, so I've let them know as well.

First you're in the wrong part the forum. Try asking in the Galaxy Spica.
Btw, did you try using a Wi-Fi if you can log into google mail? Did you do an update of Gmail? I think there is one on the Market. Anyway try first this steps and if it not works ask in the right part of the forum.
