Hi Guys
I am confused. What is the difference between them. When I want to connect to the net, with my N95, I can choose one of these. What are the diffs? Also, can any of them still do MMS, wap, internet etc? which is the faster connection?
I also have a internet.streaming option

the difference between vlive and internet.gprs is the access point it use to establish the connection. If you choose to connect with the vlive APN(access point name) you will be able to browse on the vlive website without been charge for browsing, you'll only get charge when you purchase something on the vlive website, however when u leave the vlive website, for example visiting a different website, then you will be bill as per normal internet rates depending on your package.

With the internet.gprs APN you will be charge as per normal rates whether it's on the vlive website on not.

As far as i know with regards to the vlive!mms APN it allows you to sent mms as per normal rates!

Hope this is helpfull!
 
cool thanx. Yes it clears up stuff.
So there is no real speed advantage?

Nope, no speed advantage. Your speed is determine by the type of reception in your area, your handset model as well as the quality of service activated on your cell no.(this is done by vodacom)

No. Sorry not true. Using internet as a apn gives you free browsing on vodacom4me.co.za and vlive website. Ive tested it with prepaid and it doesn't take any money.

Even using the internet as the apn also gives you free streaming data. So you just pay for the tv subscription and stream for free with the internet apn.

The vlive apn was a free apn for vlie content. But then we all know that people used vlive on their pc with opera and vodacom changed vlive to a chargable apn.

So for the general user. There are no direct difference. Both work just as good. :)
