What access point must I use for this phone?I've tried the Internet.GPRS access point that was sms'd to me from he vodacom4me website but it doesn't work.It fails with a message saying "Web :unable to access server!" .The setting for the Internet.GPRS access point are as follows :

Connection name : Internet.GPRS
Data bearer : Packet data
Access point name : internet
User name : None
Prompt password : No
Password : **** (I didn't enter this, this was sent with the
configuration sms)
Authentication : Normal
Homepage : http://wap.vodacom4me.co.za


Advanced Settings
===================
Network type : IPv4
Phone IP address : Automatic
DNS address : Automatic
Proxy serv. address : 196.6.128.12
Proxy port number : 8080



These settings are exactly the same on my previous phone (Nokia 6600).I even took out the SIM card from the E61 and put in the 6600 and I connected without issues.
Why am I getting the "Web :unable to access server!" on the E61?

However I noticed that there's another access point called Vodacom WEB and this seems to work , except that I can't login into the vodacom4me because of authentication failure.The details for the Vodacom WEB access point are as follows:

Connection name : Vodacom WEB
Data bearer : Packet data
Access point name : internet
User name : None
Prompt password : No
Password : **** (I didn't enter this, this was sent with the
configuration sms)
Authentication : Normal
Homepage : None


Advanced Settings
===================
Network type : IPv4
Phone IP address : Automatic
DNS address : Automatic
Proxy serv. address : None
Proxy port number : 0


I've been to the VodaCare shop and left the place very frustrated.No prize for guessing why!

I removed the proxy from my Internet.GPRS. So for general surfing use a connection without the proxy server and for Vodacom4me use a connection with the proxy.

When you go to Vodacom4me use the WAP browser under media->services not the web browser. Also use http://www.vodacom4me.co.za instead of http://wap.vodacom4me.co.za

This works for me.
