I just bought a Warehouse Mobile SIM for my old iPhone 4 (which is running iOS 7, the latest it can). I added the $4 data pack but it simply won't go online. I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with Warehouse Mobile and such an old iPhone :)

 

WHMobile used to work fine in this exact phone about 18 months ago.

 

There doesn't seem to be anywhere to enter APN details; Not under Settings > Mobile (everything there is turned on) nor Settings > Carrier (set to Automatic).

 

At the top of the screen it shows a good (4/5) connection to Warehouse 3G, but in Safari all I can get is "Could not activate mobile data network; You are not subscribed to a mobile data service". I doubt the latter, as in Messages I got from 801: "Great, you've successfully purchased the $4 data pack etc etc".

 

Unfortunately WHM support had nothing to suggest that I hadn't already tried. Their "send settings to your phone" thing never arrived on my phone.

 

Any ideas? Other than buy a new phone 🤣

Does the same SIM work into another handset?

I found this which hopefully helps:

I’m sure there is a need for APN settings for warehouse mobile based on my experience with them…

Thanks for the ideas. I tried it in another phone (Android) and it worked just fine — got online no problems whatsoever, and had access to all the APN configuration. Unfortunately the helpforsmartphone.com site's instructions fail at step 4; there simply isn't a "Cellular Data Network" option or anything like it. I've seen other instructions referring to this, but the option isn't there on mine. In the end I found "iPhone 4 (manual) at https://www.warehousemobile.co.nz/help/your-phone-or-device/mobile-settings/ and that gave me a link to a profile which I installed but still no luck.
