Hi again. Yes, I edited the Vodafone settings to create the Ovivo ones. "Ovivo" is now showing as the APN but so far has failed to connect to the internet, so there's still something amiss.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Many many hours later after trying to edit APN list in my H9503, found this works. Tried doing it with mt6589 and motochopper, problem is they did not root the phone. Rooting the phone allows editing rights to edit the apns-conf.xml in the "\etc" sub-directory of the system files of my phone. I finally managed to find a solution that works.
I used Framaroot
I copied this file to the SD card, then used a free app called "Easy Installer (V 3.0.8)" which installs apk files onto your phone. Once installed "Framaroot" comes up in the apps list, run it and it should root your phone. You can check to see if phone is rooted by using free app called "Root Checker Basic (V5.1.0)".
I then took the easy option of buying "Root Explorer (V3.1.7) for about €3.50 to edit the xml file, but once the phone has been rooted, I guess you can use any xml file editor.
Hope this saves you hours of searching, have fun
Regards
Mark in sunny, but skint Spain.

Further to my last post, those in Spain having trouble getting a data connection to masmovil, here are the settings in the apns-config.xml file you should use, just got mine working, so I thought I would share with you to save big headaches. First of all you have to identify from the long list of APNs which one the SIM card is trying to use. Mine said
carrier="Orange World"
apn="orangeworld"
user"orange"
password="orange"
etc etc
Once you have found it, make a back-up copy using root explorer, and then edit it using the following settings (this is for a masmovil account using the basic (cheaper) data service, for there other service called something like 3G or 5mb of similar, the settings are different, they are on the web, just google it up.
apn carrier="masmovil"
mcc="214"
mnc="03"
apn="internetmas"
user=""
password=""
type="default ,supl"
I had to delete the lines starting
proxy=
port=
After making changes go to system settings\mobile networks\access point names\ and reset to default.
That did it for me, hope I've not forgotten any of the details?
