Mobile Data Not Working on Three

Hello recently I've purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I can't get the mobile data working.

I've put in all the settings on the three website and selected that APN however still no luck.

I can make phone calls and send text messages fine so my SIM card is obviously compatible.

I don't believe the phone is faulty as i had the same problem with a LG G2 and returned that saying it was faulty I now obviously know better,

I had the mobile data working when I was using my Samsung Galaxy S(1) on Gingerbread however when i put it on KitKat via Cyanogen Mod I had the same problem.

It's the same SIM just cut down. (Full to Micro)

I'm paying a SIM only contract so i know my data is getting paid for.

So please if anybody knows how i can get my data working please tell me.

call up three and tell them about it or go into one of their stores.

I called up three and they just reported the phone faulty with my G2 so i reckon the same will happen with my Note. I'm planning to go to the show as a last resort just checking if i can fix the problem from the comfort of my bedroom. (Also known as being lazy)

You can try resetting the network settings on the phone. Most phones can auto fetch the correct settings so you shouldn't need to worry about that.

 

Also what is included in your plan? If the contract is new and the renewal date hasn't come around that could potentially be the problem.

I've defaulted my APN settings many a time however no luck. I've had this contract for about a year now it contains 1GB of 4G data

Hm, and you say this happened with an LG phone as well? How long ago was it, and did it just start randomly?

No only when i've used a phone in Android Jelly Bean/Kitkat have I had this problem. Possibly my data may of been optimized for Gingerbread and not later versions of Android.

Hm, I don't think that's the case. If a network reset hasn't fixed it then I would suggest it's a problem with your plan. Your best bet is to visit a 3 store somewhere and see if they can take a look at your plan and determine whether it's the problem.

So please if anybody knows how i can get my data working please tell me.

Maybe the Android 4.4 Cyanogen mod version is making it not work. Technically the note 3 is not supposed to have 4.4 yet.
