Hi Wendy70,
Thanks for posting. Normally the Lumia will read SMS, MMS and Internet settings from the SIM at first startup.
If you have no internet connection yet and do not have any data on the Lumia you have no backup for do a reset with the SIM inserted. You find the reset in Settings>About>reset your phone. This should fully reset the phone and get you back to the first use setup sequence.
Normally a Vodafone SIM should have Internet, MMS and SMS settings on the SIM and so these should be setup automatically. If this does not happen or you cannot reset the phone, e.g. when the data is not on the SIM or you have data on the phone you cannot lose or re-enter later, you can use the app 'Network Setup' from the Nokia Collection in Marketplace.
As you might not have an active Internet connection at this point setup a connection to a WiFi network through Settings>WiFi and open Marketplace. You will need to login using your liveID.
If you do not have a LiveID yet you can create one from the Lumia or goto live.com to do so. When done enter your LiveID login (mailaddress) and password and download the Network Setup app.
When you run the App select your network and you're done.
Hope this helps, if you have any further questions let us know,

Hi Wendy70,
As you appear to have the network setup app (you cannot enter MMS settings manually without it). You should have the settings for Vodafone preset. When the App starts you see a selector with available provider settings. Select yours (should be Vodafone ) and save. This should be enough.
If for some reason you need to enter these settings manually you should be able to find the specific settings for your operator on their website.
Hope this helped,
