We currently use "event.vodafone.de" for BILDmobil Speedstick. 
"access.vodafone.de" is used for BILD Mobilportal. Do you have more 
info/description about available plans and their usage?

This is configuration for Bild Mobil:
        <provider>
                <name>Bild Mobil</name>
                <gsm>
                        <!--

                        <network-id mcc="262" mnc="02"/>
                        <apn value="access.vodafone.de">
                                <name>BILD Mobilportal</name>
                        </apn>
                        <apn value="web.vodafone.de">
