vodafone error 770994186

Hi- am unable to connect to vodafone network via prepaid mobile broadband in any shape or form- get the above error- 770994186. Techs at vodafone do not seem to understand the issue. Am running windows 7 OS Any advice would be appreciated

i have the same problem, it started yesterday - can not figure it out - anyone with any ideas?

That looks suspiciously like a mobile phone/modem number if you add a zero to the beginning. Just a thought. What phone number does your VMC indicate?

did anyone manage to fix this issue?

I'm looking for a fix for this issue too.

Maybe it's a vodaphone network issue?

you need to click on the accept terms and conditions

Make sure your APN Setting is current: (eg. vodafone australia as below)

Contract
Profile name: VF Mobile Broadband
APN: static & "vfinternet.au"
Authentication Access Number: *99#
Username: [left blank]
Password: [left blank]

Prepaid
Profile name: VF Prepaid Mobile Broadband
APN: static & "vfprepaymbb"
Authentication Access Number: *99#
Username: [left blank]
Password: [left blank]

"The mobile broadband network connection operation(context activation) failed with irror codde 770994186".
I discovered that my APN setting was the contract one instead of the pre-paid one.
Then I changed the APN setting into "vfprepaymbb".
It works!

For those who had the similar problem, please make sure your APN is the correct one.

Hi guys - I had the same error fault and found that i had not ticked the box to accept conditions - when I did this I connected. I had a look for the APN - could not find this and it was when I was doing this I found the 'accept vodas conditions' panel... and remembered in a previous post make sure the box is ticked. Thanks to all who replied to this fault - it got me going

Where do I find the APN Setting?

Hi,

Success. I have a ZTE usb prepaid modem + a post paid WiFi plan. Today my ZTE (used with my Netbook) returned the dreaded 770994186 error code. Clearly a common problem as a quick google delivered two pages. After trying ALL the suggestions I found on the web without any success I did find that you can do without the Vodafone software completely.

Solution: just plug in the stick, go to devices and printers, right click on the modem and click dial vodafone. Works perfectly for me without using the supplied software. In fact I have even disabled the autostart to be sure. I have repeatedly dialled and disengaged and it has worked perfectly every time.

Unless there is something unusual with my W7 setup, this should be a common solution for all.
