Vodafone Smart 4 mini (unlocked and using with o2) - Unable to change or delete APN settings

[Anonymous]

Bought this phone as a temporary replacement.

Unlocked it to use with my o2 pay monthly sim.

Now heres the problem, the phone is not connecting to the internet when im out and about (no issues with wifi). 

I have gone into the 'access point names' menu and I have four settings saved - o2 pay & go ; o2 pay & go mobile broadband; TESCO mobile (i have no idea why this one is on there as phone has never been used before and i've never had a tesco sim) and o2 MMS.

It wont allow me to delete any of them and when I select 'New APN' I can input all the required information but when selecting 'Save' it does not register.

I am hoping someone has had this problem and managed to overcome it...

Tested an o2 PAYG sim and the APN settings were sent straight away.

Yes, I understand your point @Cleoriff but the OP is already paying for their O2 sim contract. There doesn't seem much point in paying for a Vodafone Pay&Go sim as well for the sake of a £35 phone. They may as well try to return the phone to Amazon and see what happens. The worst they can say is no.

That will teach me to look at the price of the phone (instead of just the Amazon advert)....

So...now I know that.....I agree with you totally......
