Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / January 2005Internet via gprs on Voda pre-paid. Yes or No?
I've looked through old posts re this subject and now i'm even more confused. Is internet via gprs on vodafone prepaid (ie using phone as amodem for laptop) currently availaible or not? No, only wap GPRS on the handset You can use the WAP gprs proxy as a normal proxy on port 8080, but it does a piss poor job at surfing the web compared to NAT access on Postpaid.. > I've looked through old posts re this subject and now i'm even more > confused.

Nope, they dont need to use prepaid. > Nope, they [grey nomads] dont need to use prepaid. But some of them _are_ povs, and bloody proud of it too. John >Why does everyone want this so desperately anyway? Are the majority of this >newsgroup children or something? Because not much beats Vodafone prepaid for it's inclusion of services in the call caps. > >Why does everyone want this so desperately anyway?

Agreed >> I've looked through old posts re this subject and now i'm even more confused. >> Is internet via gprs on vodafone prepaid (ie using phone as amodem for >> laptop) currently availaible or not? > Why does everyone want this so desperately anyway? Everyone doesnt, just some of the druggys, povs and children. > Are the majority of this newsgroup children or something? Or druggys and povs, yes. > Why does everyone want this so desperately anyway? Are the majority of this > newsgroup children or something? Yeah, you got me, I was asking for my 11-year-old I don't want him running up huge bills surfing the net on the school bus. But he does like to check his performance in the ASX sharemarket games on the way home, although i suspect he may have re-invested the $ he made last year on something he calls index trading warrants or whatever.... Chip off the old block, although I wish i knew how to trade warrants - I'm sure i still have one or two for various traffic misunderstandings that I've forgotten to pay. be careful or u'll be labled a laudite just like alston.... btw on the 49 dollar cap u think 2.2cents per kb equaltes to 2.2cents per kb.... i dont think so with 230 dollars worth of access... cheers ;) >> I've looked through old posts re this subject and now i'm even more >> confused.

For $49 on the VF data plan you can get 500M of access (at least), $11,000 worth at 2.2c/kB Or on Optus postpaid I could pay 0.55c/kB (max) > be careful or u'll be labled a laudite just like alston.... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> Why does everyone want this so desperately anyway?

GPRS internet over Vodafone Pre Pay is currently not available, the only that Vodafone Pre Pay customer can use on GPRS are PXT, Vodafone Live and WAP. SignatureTA 2000 really? then how come I can access bbc.co.uk/mobile wap.cnet.com mobile.msn.com/wml (my hotmail wahoo!) mobile.n-gage.com and various other overseas wap sites on vodafone prepaid? cheers ;) > alice Wrote: >> I've looked through old posts re this subject and now i'm even more [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > only that Vodafone Pre Pay customer can use on GPRS are PXT, Vodafone > Live and WAP. WAP try reading the post.. WAP is internet filtered via a WAP proxy, its not the true Internet..

Well the WAP configurations I have seen on some phones involve dialing a number to access them, where as GPRS on my phone connects to an IP address. It works and it is on Voda pre-paid and I can use it when there is NO CREDIT!!
