Why isn't my cellular data working?
I have an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 4S. I know where the cellular data is at but when I turn it on it doesn't work, & it even says 3G on the corner but I don't know why it's not working! Can someone help?
It is possible that you might have to adjust your APN settings on your iPhone in order to get data working.
APN stands for Access Point Name and it identifies the data access services associated with your iPhone or any smartphone. In other words, these settings allow you to send/receive picture messages to other mobile phones.
To ensure that your APN settings are correct, try the following:
1. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to the internet. Using Wi-Fi is fine if data is not available.
2. Go to the link below, unlockit.co.nz, using the Safari browser on your iPhone to automatically download the desired APN related to the carrier you are using. COST: FREE
- Why isn't my facetime cellular working? I have an iPhone 4 running ios 6 on Verizon. And whenever I try to facetime my sister or whoever when I don't have Wi-Fi it never let's me! I'm facetiming her and then it says "no network connection" and it tells me to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
- Why is my cellular data used so fast? I have an iPhone 5 from Verizon and have a monthly plan of 5GB. I keep using all my data really fast and i don't know why. I do not watch videos too often (1 once a week and they're short aprox 3 mins). I talked to verizon on the phone and in person and they say they can't do anything. I have iOS7 too if that makes a difference. Help me! I turn my data off when I don't need it too.
- Why don't I receive messages unless my cellular data is on? I got this iPhone 3 months ago. It's the 5th one. This constant problem is that sometimes I don't get messages unless my Cellular data is turned on. I need to fix this cause its really annoying. Like for example 10 ppl texted me on Christmas Day saying merry Christmas. On January 4 I turned on cellular data while in my car & then I got them all! And it's crazy because It had the date of Christmas & the exact time.
- Why doesn't my iPhone 3GS connect to the cellular data network? I just bought a refurbished iPhone 3GS from Gamestop a few weeks ago and have just started using it recently. I can make/ receive calls and texts with no problem, but for some reason my phone will not connect to the 3G network. I have 3G turned on and the symbol shows up in the top corner of my phone, as if it were working normally. I tried updating my phone, but there was no difference.
