IPhone 4s doesn't connect to 3g.why?

Whenever I leave my house or do not have wi-fi connection, the space where the 3g/wi-fi symbol should be has a little circle there. I can't always connect to 3g, when I have no wi-fi, so I have no internet. How can i sort this out and actually connect to and use 3g?

also, does having twitter logged in all the time use my internet that i'm paying for? Or you know when you double click the home button and the apps you've recently used come up, if i get rid of it from there, will it not use my internet in a non wi-fi zone?

For the record the o also means internet, except that is 1G or GPRS data speeds. As far as fixing your problem, could be an APN problem. Try contacting your carrier about it.

Anything done while using 3G will use data. Most of the time those apps are doing things in the background. Probably not much on an hourly or even daily basis but will ad up overtime.

  • Why is Apple so lame? Why doesn't it announce the iPhone 5s/6 next week? Seriously! I''m sick of giving AT&T free money since December 2012. I refuse to upgrade unless it's a Sony Xperia Z or a new iPhone. I refuse to buy a Galaxy S4 because it looks lame. If you're a guy that likes a hot girl's attention then you can't flip an S4. Here's a release plan for Apple: Announce the new iPhone and make everyone happy. The problem is that dumb people(67% of consumers) will buy the old iPhone even if a new one has been announced.
  • Why doesn't my IPhone connect with my YouTube? Yeah my iPhone is experiencing difficulties. I just created a YouTube and gmail account. And it works on safari but when I try to sign into the app it won't let me. It just claims that it's an invalid username or password. But i know I'm not typing it in wrong because it signs me in with the same info in safari >.< what do I do?
