Hi - I have just got a Samsung Galaxy SIII but am unable to connect to internet via Mobile Network.  I have activated Mobile Data in settings, but when I try to access internet, it won't work.  I can connect to internet via WiFi at home, but I need to be able to when I'm out and about too.  Any ideas please?  Thank you.

Sorry to be such a pain!  I have followed all the instructions above, switched off the wireless but, despite all this, can't connect via mobile network.  I am flummoxed!!  Any more ideas please??  Thanks

What happens when you try to connect, does the web browser open ok?

 

Does it time out leaving you with a blank screen?

 

What type of connection shows at the top of the screen, E, G, 3G, H or H+?

Eureka!  One of my colleagues has played with it and it is now fully functional!  I am definitely a techno-geriatric!  It seems I had the wrong network selected for the SIM I'm using!

Thank you to all for your help and encouragement!  Finally, I have joined the 21st Century!!Smiley Very Happy
