Error message: could not activate cellular data network - please help

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi

 

I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 with a micro Sim.  Sold it and got an iphone 3 so obtained a sim adaptor as the iphone required the standard SIM.

 

When I use wifi at home, I can access the internet and update my email.

When I turn off wifi at home or am away from home, I cannot access the internet or update my email.

I get the following message:

 

Could not activate cellular data network

You are not subscribed to a cellular data service.

 

Please can someone help.

 

Thanks

As you have transferred from a Samsung make sure your APN Settings are set to mobile.o2.co.uk

Maybe getting dizzy from the speed of the phone wink (No offence, just my sense of humour)....
