Text ACTIVE to 2020, save the text settings, reboot the phone and try again. You do need the idata bolt on and apn settings as advised.

Chances are you are on the wrong data bolt on if your apn is mobile.o2.uk
It should be idata.o2.uk so ask customer service to change your bolt on first then change your apn and reboot the phone.

Hello @Anonymous,

Did you try to go under settings > Mobile data and check if the Safari app is toggled to the ON green position?

The customers apn is wrong and therefore on the wrong data package.
Simple as that in this case.
