Answer
Setting up an unlocked phone to access the internet and MMS messaging is specific to your carrier. I don't have the settings for your carrier (or any carrier, I'm afraid, as they have all changed and I have been unable to find a source for them). What I can tell you is to contact Vodafone and ask them for the WAP and MMS settings. Then go to a site for your specific phone and look up the settings for WAP and then put in what Vodafone gave you in the areas that require specific carrier information. Personally, I am not a fan of these iPhone replicas or of unlocked phones in general becuase they are often more trouble then they are worth, but I hope this was helpful. Thanks.
