APN Settings for Vodafone: OK for all Android phones

I have lots of visitors searching for the Vodafone Ireland APN settings for their HTC Hero that I published in this post but you might want to know that these are working (tested!) on HTC Tattoo, Motorola Milestone. In theory, they should work on all the GSM Android phones available: Nexus One, Acer Liquid, G1, MyTouch 3G, Samsung Moment,…

Here they are again:
First, you should install a widget on your home screen to stop/start “Mobile Network” that will let you control when the connection will happened, otherwise it will access every time it needs to check something on the internet which can be often.

Go into settings under “Mobile network settings”, then in “Access Point Names”. You will need to create 2 APN, one “Vodafone ISP” and one “mms”. Any setting not listed is to be left as “”.

First one, for the internet access, will work for mail, web, FTP,… This is not the “limited” one for WAP phones but the real deal.

Name: Vodafone ISP
APN: isp.vodafone.ie
Username: vodafone
Password: vodafone
Server: 0.0.0.0
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (Not sure it is important, like the few next…)
MCC: 272
MNC: 01
APN type: default

Don’t forget to save from the menu, if you press back the setting will not be saved.

The second will allow you to send MMS:

Name: mms.vodafone.net
APN: mms.vodafone.net
Username: dublin
Password: dublin
MMSC: http://www.vodafone.ie/mms
MMS proxy: 10.24.59.200
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 272
MNC: 01
APN type: mms

Again, do not forget to save.
