Vodafone, TomTom, Blackberry and GPRS .. oh my!

[Black-tom]

Greetings from a new poster.

After recovering from serious head injuries from repeatedly headbutting a wall trying to get a sensible response from Vodafone I found this forum which seems to be the place to get sensible advice.

My question is basically what settings should I be using on the Tomtom (910) to set up the GPRS link to my Blackberry 8100 Pearl.

I have GPRS operational and am properly linked by Bluetooth (calls and phone book) but am stuck on the settings to actually get the updates etc to work:

1. Access point name: I have conflicting info whether this is "internet" or "wap.vodafone.co.uk"
2. User Name: I have been told by vodafone that it is "wap" but I have seen sites quoting "web"
3. password: I have been told by vodafone that it is "wap" but I have seen sites quoting "web"
4. Dial: have seen a few versions but don''t know what is correct;
5. IP address: automatic (some sites quote 212.183.137.012)
6. DNS Server: automatic
7. Login Script: seems to be some version of "at+cgdcont=X,"ip","<name>","",0,0 where "X" is a number and <name> is some string which may, or may not, be the access point name.

I am not sure if the settings are unique to Blackberry or whether the "x" number is a phone specific as i have read on another site (the phone instructions to find it dont match my phone menus).

I am still trying to get the correct info out of vodafone but they seem more than a little confused!

Any help very much appreciated ... if i get a response from vodafone i will post the settings.
