iPhone EDGE settings for Vodafone UK
Written by thinkjim on September 28th, 2007Well my unlocked iphone has finally arrived from the US, and I’ve been tweaking it for the last couple of hours so that everything is working properly.
When I tried to fire up Safari on the iPhone I got the error “Could not activate EDGE: you are not subscribed to EDGE”. The EDGE settings (GPRS) that are posted on some of the forums for Vodafone UK are incorrect. You need the following settings to use the web (when not in range of wi-fi) on the UK vodafone network. These settings are correct for my contract with vodafone, not sure about pay as you go.
These are the iPhone EDGE APN settings. I
n your iphone go to:
> Settings > General -> Network ->EDGE
Enter the following:
APN: internet
Username: web
Password: web
Now go back to safari and try and load a page. Should work!
Update: One user was having problems with these settings and it was because EDGE had been disabled. You need to check it is enabled before using these settings. Some Pay As You Go (PAYG) customers have said that these Vodafone EDGE APN settings work on the PAYG platform as well.

I’ve emailed Phil. He is on a Contract and has added the Internet Package (unlimited web & email), so this is not a Pay as you go issue.
I have verified that these setting are still working on my iPhone (vodafone contract, but without unlimited internet). Investigating whether there are different APN settings for the vodafone internet & mail package.
I have recently moved from blogger to wordpress, but there were several positive comments left on the old site saying this was working.

Nagendra,
If you are on the Vodafone Network in the UK the settings above should work.
Phil (the previous poster) finally got his iPhone working with these settings. for some reason the EDGE (GPRS) on his iPhone had been turned off. He downloaded and installed bossprefs and it showed that edge was disabled. After enabling EDGE these settings do work.
