19.95 Euros got me a CallYa SIM card which the guy in the store activated. I whacked this SIM into my HTC Hero when I got home and after entering the PIN it merrily started to configure itself. To my surprise the Hero restarted, recognising it had got a new SIM and changed the language to German. "Whahey" I thought. My personalisation of the Sense UI were gone and it'd reverted to stock. A quick delve through the Settings menu restored the language to English.
I got a SMS about 2 or 3 minutes after installing the SIM (in German of course) telling me something about APN's. The SIM had setup the APN automatically but it wasn't connecting to the Web. So I decided to check the settings, The APN was set to web.vodafone.de which seemed right to me. Actually I had to change this to event.vodafone.de (something I discovered here: http://www.vodafone.de/privat/tarife/datentarife-websessions.html). Having done this the Hero connected to the Interwebz.Now CallYa works on the basis of 'pay as you go' and the pricing is quite reasonable, especially when the data cap is 1 GB within a given ime period:Vodafone Websessions 15 Minutes 2 Hours 7 Days 24 Hours25.06. until 31.10.2009 0,49 1,95 9,95 4,95Not bad at all. The CallYa SIM has 5.00 Euro credit on it.Posted via web from gazcoop
