"Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"

Anonymous — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 12:11:22 GMT

I've had my iphone for about 2 months. I originally had a HTC Sensation that I really didn't get on with so switched back to my old iPhone4. I had problems when I first started using it where it wouldn't connect to the internet. Went to a o2 shop and it was sorted in about 5 seconds. But Tuesday (9th) it stopped working again. I haven't changed anything, haven't formatted it or anything.

Went back to the shop and no one knew what had happened, Then I saw that people were having problems anyways and assumed it was because of that. That problem has now been fixed... And I still have no internet/data.

I've tried changing it to mobile.o2.co.uk and wap.o2.co.uk... no difference.

Someone help? 😞

Thanks

Have you tried idata.o2? That's the one for iPhone data bolt ons.

Are calls and txts ok?

Indeed I have. I've tried everything I've seen suggested. Still not working.

Calls are okay. Texts are.. sluggish. I get them through every half hour or so in a bundle.

If none of the data setting changes work nor are there any signal issues. I can only reccomend taking the phone in for repair it can only be a hardware issue:(

It's a fairly new phone. I got it replaced last october.. used it till febuary and put it away... So if it is a hardware thing, i'll be pretty angry 😕

(nor do I have the money to put it for repair... I'm a student with very little money ha..)

Thanks anyways ^_^

Daft question

Does the HTC have a.micro SIM like the iPhone? If not did u trim it yourself?

Might be best to order a new SIM from cs and give that a go.

I've had this problem on my iphone4. I just restored the phone from itunes as new and then popped in the SIM. After that all was ok, data, texts and calls. Note I had to restore iOS6 since that was the only option available via itunes.

Of course restore on iTunes. We were so busy looking for a technical answer we forgot that one. LoL

You mention that you originally had an HTC. Did you get the data bolt on changed when you got the iPhone. The data bolt ons are different for HTC (Android) to iPhone. If you didn't get them changed then that could well be the problem.

That means you don't have an iData tariff.
