Guys,
I have an O2 branded K750i with my Vodafone Sim card installed. Can I get Vodafone Live on this? I have 'O2' on the menu which I, obviously, want to change to Vodafone Live. Any ideas?

you can access vodafone live! functions via wap but you'd need to reflash the phone to see the initial vodafone live menu options when you click the internet button (i.e. before actually connecting to wap)

to get vodafone live! settings just go to the vodafone web site and there is a page that you can enter you mobile number into and it will send you the vodafone live settings. Last time I looked they didn't have K750 as an option but the K700 settings are exactly the same and worked perfectly for me

I've tried that but what do I select to connect to Live!? I only have an option for 'O2' or 'Sony' Internet.

You will need to flash your handset with the Vodafone customization in order to have the "Live" menu.

yes, as I mentioned earlier, you will be able to get to vodafone live via wap but you'll need to flash to vodafone firmware to have it appear ni the menu.

the wap page for vodafone live is http://live.vodafone.com

I noticed (through many compliants) that with certain phones (k700i, K750i) that if it is branded to one network (i.e. t-mobile, O2, Vodafone) it does not connect to the wap portal of another network. example: t-mobile branded K700i connects to t-zones. you put in a vodafone sim and create a new wap profile with vodafone live settings and activate that profile. Then you connect to gprs and select the homepage of vodafone live and you get an error: cannot connect to vodafone live or the page cannot be displayed.

Yeah, mine just says 'loading' but never accesses the net. The trouble with the K750i is that there is no 'Online' button. There is just 'O2' and 'Sony' selections

i am having a similar problem.

i used a p910i on o2 and have got a unlocked k750i (originally orange) and i cannot connect to MMS or GPRS..

where did you find this internet option function on your k750?

how do i get my phone to connect to o2 as opposed to trying on "orange world" and "downloads"

thanks

Yep I also have an orange branded phone with an O2 sim card. Even though I've got the O2 GPRS settings activated I don't see how I can access GPRS?

Any ideas?
