My wife had a business addon to my phone which gave her a cheap plan, but recently we moved her to one of the standalone plans with VF. It wasn't seamless, and since then her mobile data won't connect above H+ speeds 

 

She called VF who wanted her to put the sim into another phone (she doesn't have one) and then after much mucking around, it was escalated, and crickets since. 

 

Is there anything I can do on the phone (Should it be using a different APN or whatever) to get her back at reasonable speeds or am I stuck waiting till VF sort it at their end?

Sounds like we might have accidentally removed 4G on the back end - feel free to PM me the mobile number and I can check whatโ€™s happening.

As I thought - 4G is deactivated. Give it 5 minutes and either turn on/off airplane mode or reboot the phone, and (assuming she's in 4G coverage now) it should work.

 

Her current APN setting is correct by the way ๐Ÿ˜Š

You are awesome! Thank you for dealing with this over the weekend. The call with the call center was very frustrating for her :) 

 

5G after a reboot.
