Hi.

 

 

 

For the last few adys ive got no 3g / 4g reception on my "new" phone.   I have swiped own & the top menu - turned Mobile data on/off/on -but still no reception.

 

 

 

I have mobile data turned ON now & it still says im offline..  - ive checked with 756 / Vodafone & do have data allowance this month.. 

 

 

 

Is there a hidden setting elsewhere i need to set - to use mobile data ? 

 

 

 

EDIT: Ive bought this nw phone from a Vodafone shop - within the last few weeks.

Try a hard reset if that fails then return handset to place of purchase with proof of purchase

FYI a new SIM card will not resolve issue

also make sure the APN is set correctly

Incorrect APN would not stop the handset from displaying 3G but would stop it from attaching to 4G
