PS Vita: General Discussion

[TaishiFox]

Hey guys.  Cus I prefer Three's data plan to Vodafone's, well who doesn't? of course I tried to use my Three SIM card in the PS Vita and even though it identified it and set APN to three.co.uk, which according to most websites is the wrong APN address, and even though I changed it to 3internet, it still won't work.  I tried calling Three and the tech support wasn't very helpful and in the end we were in a debate about whether or not Three would even work with PS Vita despite the fact that Sony have clearly stated that we could change to any 3G supportive network.  If anyone here has got it to actually work I'd appreciate some input on how, but so far I've found that its not even possible, which I find kinda missleading when its clearly stated that the PS Vita is unlocked so it can be used on any 3G network.

Is the SIM card one you've purchased solely for the Vita or is it one you've taken out of your phone?

I've got a Three data/pays sim and it worked with no special set up steps.

And I just tried a PAYG one out of a phone and it too works perfectly.

I'm on three and use my phones 3G for a wifi hotspot.

I know this is not using the sim directly.

I've used it out of a phone.  Strange how most of you are saying it works cus I couldn't get mine to work and when I phoned Three they just wanted to argue that they don't support the device.  Basically when I used it I was told to go to three.co.uk/setup on my PC and enter my phone number and model.  I tried doing this and even put the sim back in my phone to see if I recieved any setup message and got nothing.  I then tried a command code which is *#06# or something like that which tells you whether your phone is enabled for 3G and I got a response that I'm already setup for the internet on my phone so tbh I have no idea ***** is going on.  I have one of those old ZTE models so I'm not 100% sure if it uses 3G or something else, though I was under the impression that all Three phones use 3G as it does state when oridering a sim card that you must have a 3G phone in order to use it for internet.

Never had to do any of that - just put the Three sim in the Vita, powered it on and it connected and worked. No internet sign up or anything.

Your problem is something to do with your Sim and/or Three account, not Vita.

Just bought the All In One Addon and it worked, I guess that was the problem, heh ^_^; Had no credit before hand so had no internet xD

Glad it's sorted mate

Hang on, the site said that the APN had was three.co.uk with no username or password, the PS Vita has preset details. Which of these are correct? Or do I just set the APN to 3internet
