Configure Vodafone APN on other devices
Are you using a device other than the ones mentioned above and are you still trying to figure out how to configure Vodafone APN? In this case, I invite you to connect to this Web page of the operator's website and to select the type of device in your possession from the tabs at the top and, subsequently, from the menu at the bottom.
On the page that opens, select the item related to APN configuration to access the Internet and / or to send and receive MMS and follow the instructions that are proposed to you on the screen.
In case of problems
Despite having followed all my instructions on how to configure APN Vodafone, are you still unable to surf the net and / or send and receive MMS? In this case, I suggest you get in touch with the manager's customer service and request direct support from the assistance.
You can do this by making a call to the number 190 as I explained to you in detail how to talk to a Vodafone operator. You can call Vodafone customer service and get in touch with an operator every day but only and exclusively in the time slot between 8:00 and 22:00. At night, however, the number 190 remains accessible only for the SIM blocking service by an operator, in case of theft or loss.
If, on the other hand, you do not feel like interfacing with the operator's telephone customer service, you can also contact the company via chat, both via social networks and via the appropriate app for mobile devices, and possibly ask for a re-contact. Find out how to do it below.
- Official Facebook page - Just send a private message to the official page Vodafone IT specifying in detail what your need is.
- Official Twitter account - Just mention the account @VodafoneIT at the beginning of a message and use the hashtag # tw190 to draw the attention of Vodafone assistance and wait for the operator to contact you to communicate privately, or via DM.
- My Vodafone App (for Android, for iOS and for Windows Phone) - Just press the button with the three lines horizontally located in the right part of the main screen of the application, tap on Assistance and support, select the item Need help?, choose any of the popular searches and then press the button No. Then choose the option Chat with an expert, presses the button Enter the chat and wait a few moments for an operator to respond to whom you can express your problems.
On both Facebook and Twitter, Vodafone's social support agents generally answer from Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 21.00 and on Saturdays from 10.00 to 18.00. In case you need more details, you can read my guide on how to chat with Vodafone.
