Data on PAYGO

SeanMc — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 17:08:01 GMT

I have put £10 credit on my PAYG sim purchased today to get 7GB of data to test the O2 signal for broadband I put my Sim into a HUAWEI 4G Router 3 Prime B818-263. The router recognises the sim and signal strength and that its 4G on the UK O2 network but give no data connection. Any suggestions please?

@SeanMc

It should still work for a short period of time.

You need to check you have the correct apn set for O2 Mobile in the router settings.
