My wife and I both have Samsung S23 Ultra phones on prepay with OneNZ

The phones were bought second hand in NZ, however her phone was originally bought in USA, so it shows AT&T when it boots up.

There is no problem with my phone, however she is having problems with hers.
She can make and receive txts and phone calls, but has no mobile data. That means that if she is out, she can’t use anything that needs mobile data e.g. Google and What’s App. Everything works ok if she is on WiFi.

I’m sure that it worked ok when she first got it a couple of months ago, but it doesn’t work now.

Have restarted, but no change. We did a factory reset when she first got the phone.

I tried a One NZ Shop and they couldn’t solve it. I tried Samsung online help and they said I would need to contact AT&T.

Any thoughts?

@FieldMouse If you put her SIM into another handset does mobile data work?

Have you checked APN settings to ensure they are correct?

 

 

 

I know this is a long standing issue with American Sammy's and One NZ network in this very specific combination.

Copy them off your working handset with your One NZ Sim in.

Thank you, now fixed

The One NZ website has comprehensive step by step instructions for each phone type.

Your combined assistance was very much appreciated

@FieldMouse So you went to a OneNZ store and they did not even direct you to the APN settings on the handset & website to check out?

Correct, two of them worked on it and couldn’t fix it.

They suggested that I would need to get the phone repaired by a third party (not by them, because they phone was not bought from them)

I avoid dealing with the stores where possible. Never had a good experience...... even ended up in an argument with one store over the phone. Their staff are pretty sub-standard and are only there to make a few $$ in between uni seminars IME.
