I suspect that means you need to ask Vodafone to enable GPRS Internet service on your account.

went into vodafone and they said you have to be on a contract to access tomtom plus services and you cant access it through prepay

This is wrong. You CAN access the PLUS services via Vodafone PAYG GPRS. I do it every day using an old Sony Ericsson T68i which I keep specifically for this purpose.
Phone Vodafone help and tell them you want to access the Internet via GPRS on PAYG. They should enable your account to do this. It may take a few hours for it to become active.

When you are setting up the TTG use the following

APN - pp.vodafone.co.uk
Username - user
Password - user

Use automatic DNS

Hope this helps.

thanks to all for your replies, I can access the internet with no probs and am on pay as you go..looks like i will have to phone them again and ask them to activate it from there end..prob being is that nobody at vodafone seems to know what there talking about..me thinks they should read these forums and get some knowledge from here Rolling Eyes
