Vodafone Mobile Connect (Hutch Access) manual settings

Long back I have written about Vodafone Live GPRS Settings. This post will describe about settings of Vodafone Mobile connect formly called as Hutch Access. For those wondering what is the difference between these two GPRS connections, Vodafone Live is limited to browsing websites on Phone. But Vodafone Mobile Connect allows complete access to internet such as IMAP/POP access, ability to use VoIP Clients (ex: Fring) & also can be used to access internet on your Laptop or Computer.

Here are the settings:

Connection Name: Anything
Data Bearer: Packet Data
Access Point Name: www
User Name: None (I mean leave it blank!)
Password: None
Authentication: Normal
Homepage: You can set any website

Advanced Settings:
Network Type: IPv4
Phone IP Address: Automatic
DNS Address: Automatic
Proxy Server Address: None
Proxy Port Number: 0

Settings alone can’t do anything, you have to activate Vodafone Mobile Connect first to use this service. Tariff for Vodafone Mobile Connect is as follows:

Prepaid pack
Monthly rental: Rs 199
Usage charges @ 5p / 10KB

Postpaid pack

Monthly rental (Rs)199499699
Free data-500MB1GB
Usage charges5p / 10KB5p / 10KB5p / 10KB

To activate this service call to Vodafone Customer Care (Happy to help!?) at 111. If you want guide to access internet on Laptop or Computer using this connection, please refer to
