Windows 8 HTC

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:01:58 GMT

I bought my son a second hand HTC and put an O2 pay as you go SIM in it. It all works great apart from the Internet... He can't connect at all. Any ideas?

Hi

Edit : text ACTIVE to 2020
, save the settings and reboot

Also APN s are here http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/o2-apn-settings

I assume they have a data allowance in the tariff and check your masts via http://status.o2.co.uk

From a family member, thought as it worked with their SIM I wouldn't have a problem

Have you checked that the APN's are correct as from the link I added for a windows phone ?

It may be worth phoning O2 to have the imei number of the phone checked to ensure its not been barred.

@Anonymous I checked the fields that were available on the htc windows phone, to be honest it didn't seem to be describing the same menu/screen... As you can tell I am not up on this stuff!

You could take the phone and sim into your local O2 high street shop and a guru will help you with this.
