  • Did you buy the phone and SIM together or not ?

    If the phone & SIM came together then I suggest you go back to the shop.

    If you had the SIM but obtained the phone seperately then your problem may be related to the APN for your network.

    Google APN and Vodafone (or whoever) and check that the APN you have found is set in the phone.
  • Also what network are you on sounds like you are on the three network as they give a lot of free internet e.g weather horoscopes.Like grumbler says this phone does not have wifi which means it needs to get internet from your network provider and will not get it from your router or from bluetooth.

    How? And this phone doesn't have wifi as it was said three times above.

    The SGH-U600 came on sale over 4 years ago (which is a lifetime in mobile phone design) and has limited internet connectivity. You may be able to browse some websites but Facebook and email are beyond its capabilities. Time to move on!

    What Neil49 said, the phone is in no way suitable for what you want, it's a relic in modern terms, not even 3G.

    It has EDGE (pre-3g).

    Many pretty modern internet-enabled phones don't have 3g, e.g. Samsung Tocco Lite - perfectly suitable for e-mail and even google maps.
    It's slow, but works.

    Even Google Maps is no comparison for a place where people post huge images of their pets and babies :D
