"Internet" is an APN on Vodafone. In most cases password authentication
is off so web/web or wap/wap or anything/anything will work (if it is
on then multiple user names and passwords that can be used by an
operator).

For example on my data card the user name and password can be anything
at all (and don't even have to match) when I go via the Internet or
"Wap" APN.

Hi Peter,

The Vodafone Internet settings for Pay As You Talk would be
pp.vodafone.co.uk and the username and password would be wap and wap.

When the username and password is web and web this can relate to an
email account set up, e.g. www.vodafone.net

For future reference, I've enclosed Vodafone's generic internet and
email settings below:
