When will GPRS be available on Vodafone (Singlepoint UK) and has anyone got prices as to what it will cost and will you be able to add it to your package?

Vodafone do, but Singlepoint UK, a vodafone carrier do not yet offer it.

Which is really annoying!

singlepoint as yet do not have the capability to bill the user for data by usage as opposed to time on line. they do however offer the vodafone live! services as they can provide GPRS access (the just can't bill it). That said, if you want to download games on singlepoint, you can't pay for them on your bill (m-pay) like other voda users in UK, they do it by reverse text message (billing problems again).

Let's get this straight once and for all...

Do Vodafone UK have GPRS?

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes. Get that? That was a YES. Vodafone UK DO have GPRS I know cos' I'm using it right now.

Do Singlepoint UK provide a GPRS service?

No No No No No No No. Get that? That was a NO.

So just to recap...

Vodafone UK GPRS = YES

Singlepoint UK GPRS = NO

Any questions?

singlepoint have told me that Vodafone started service 1Nov but singlepoint do not offer at the moment.

I have been told january by 1 person and december by another.

Fingers crossed for december, and hopefully they will feck-up the billing after and we all get free MMS, yer never know!!!! [addsig]
