Help i have samsung galaxy y it is not supporting android market

Is you phone carrier branded?
I don't know if it applies to Android, but my old Symbian powered phone was branded by Tmobile and I never managed to enter the Playnow Arena, even though it was linked in the menu. My friend with an unbranded phone had no problems.
Perhaps it is something weird like that?

The error message i get is "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"

"This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call cutomer care."

These are the messages i get.

I got gingerbread 2.3.6.

Vodafone Connect enabled.

Facebook, twitter, whatsapp, samsungapps all are working.

Just android market and anything related to google are not working.:thinking::thinking::thinking:

Hi everyone,
I bought Samsung Galaxy Y today, and I can't register for the Google Account. I tried everything you guys mentioned, and it fails to work. :s:
I have a 2G connection-is that the cause of the problem?
Thanks :)

That connection may be too slow and causing time-outs, that would prevent you from logging in. If you can, try connecting to a WiFi hotspot that may have faster connections and trying again.
