Help please accessing Voda Live & Mobile TV on 3 phone

BarGin

I bought a SE K608i on eBay to use on my 3 contract. It is unlocked but with all the 3 branding on it.

I have a spare Vodafone PAYG sim which works in the phone for making calls but I would like to also access Vodafone Live and the free mobile trial that lasts till the end of the month. I have downloaded the Voda Live settings from the Vodafone website (actually for the V600i) and they installed OK but I am unable to connect.

I can select Vodafone Wap from the browser menu but I always get the message - connection failed, settings not valid.

Can anyone advise please?

I had gprs problems when I used a vodafone sim in my orange handset (after unlocking). At first, despite selecting vodafone, I had the same error messages. I called vodafone and they sent the settings but I was being charged for browsing vodafone live pages. Called again and they sent the right settings. Maybe worth calling customer services again as they got there in the end.

you can only get the tv on handsets with 'vodafone live' on, so only phones recognised by vodafone and in their range will be able to recieve the tv, I have an old nokia 7600 3g phone, that will not get the tv.

Really annoying, but I guess it's too make people buy new phones rather than recycle their old ones

Thanks for the info kai666 and Jez. I have managed to get a very basic version of Vodafone Live working - nothing like the full monty. Also I am being charged for accessing it.

You defiantly should not be paying for browsing vodafone live pages. When I was, I called CS and asked for a refund. They worked out how much my credit had been deducted wrongly and put it back on my phone plus a bit more. Apparently the previous settings I was using had been changed... think this was why I was charged.
