Connecting Android Phone to Data Services

[jonsie]

Settings can be sent to the phone by texting ACTIVE to 2020. Simply save and reboot your device.

If you suddenly lose connection try cleaning the sim card and rebooting the phone.

A soft reset may also help, check your manual as different handsets reset in different ways.

eg. to soft reset a Samsung hold down the power and home button until the phone reboots.

 You could also try going into the Settings > More > Mobile Networks > APN  > menu and choose Reset to default (this should be read off your sim card). Restart your phone and test your data connections.

If you need to set up a data connection

From the homescreen: 

• Press Settings.
• Select Wireless and networks or More settings
• Press Mobile networks.
• Check Use PacketData/Mobile Data to ensure this is ticked
• Tap Access Point Names

MMS are charged extra and do not come from allowances.
