Hey i just brought a Sharp 902 on the new vodafone 3G network and i took my Vodafone Live sim card out of my old phone and put it in my new phone but i cant access wap i get a error saying cannot connect.

Some people say i need a special 3G sim card is this right ? How much are they ?

No, Vodafone are not using different sim cards for 3g phones (known as USIMS)

The sim card you are trying to use probably does not have 3g activated - you'll need to call Customer Service

Hope this helps

Oh right so 3G needs to be activated on my sim card i'll call Vodafone 2morow or somethin thx

i rang vodafone today and they said i need to have that USIM thing u mentioned activated. and i agreed so they said its going to take about 48 to take affect. do i need to change any settings ? because the current settings are set to vodafone contract and i have no idea how i can change them to vodafone PAYG.

As far as I know, Vodafone PAYG and Contract settings are the same... however I would need someone to back me up on this?

No, prepay & contract settings on Voda ARE different.

For Prepay your APN is pp.vodafone.co.uk
while on contract it is wap.vodafone.co.uk

I've no experience with the settings on a 3G handset, these are the usual settings for 2G - they might work for you.

Ooh thanks for that... they say you learn something new every day

well i'll just copy the contract settings and change the APN alone to that pp.vodafone.co.uk but it should take a while for the USIM thingy to come on.
