Hi all!

As of this morning I have lost 3G connection from my Samsung Android phone.

I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me what to do to get the 3G back on my phone. I've tried different network settings as well as doing a hard reset on my phone (It's the Samsung Galaxy 580). But nothing has worked yet! :-( 

Any ideas anyone?

I appreciate any help and advice. 

TIA :-)
