Auto update of time and date (Vodafone)

Does anyone know how frequently the update is sent over the network on
Vodafone to update the time and date on the handset? If I'm correct,
Vodafone are the only UK network to offer this (certainly Orange, Three and
O2 don't) but not sure how frequently the phone's time is updated by the
network.

Vodafone's is approximately every 3 hours from when u've turned the handset
on I think. The GPRS refreshes and the update goes through.

I think not.

The wife's O2 phone was updated when she switched it on this morning
(and she even received a polite pop-up telling her), my Vodafone phone
stubbornly still displayed BST (even though it was on all night) until
I manually changed it just now.

Oh, and ironically it told me I couldn't manually change the time
while auto-update was switched on!

Why offer facilities that don't work?

Not on PAYG they don't, mine still hasn't updated. Changed it manually now
anyway.

Strange that. My sons have identical PAYG phones on Orange. One updated,
and one didn't.

In all the years I was with Orange I never received a time update.

Cheers everyone, I didn't realise the phone needs a GPRS connection to
update the time, thought it was sent via the BCCH (Broadcast control
channel) every now and then. My mate sent me an MMS and it updated then.

They do! On Vodafone, you just have to make a gprs connection! With Auto
time update switched off, adjust the clock and date to anything you like,
switch auto time update back on, then connect to wap. If it's a Nokia, just
hold down the Zero key to connect to Wap. It will update as soon as it makes
a data connection.
