Hi I'm trying to get mobile data up and running, with a three pay monthly sim.
Called them about 5 times already today with no luck.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could share their settings.
Thanks

Hi,
I've just moved my XDA 2 away from an o2 contract to Pay As You Go with Tesco.
I can't get my GPRS to work and after contacting Tesco several time, they are now saying that you cannot use GPRS on an XDA 2 on a provider OTHER THAN o2, because of some pre-set settings that can't be changed. I can view pda.o2.co.uk when connected to GPRS, but that's it.
Is this true? Is there a workaround? Does anyone have GPRS working on Tesco or any non o2 provider (if they were originally on o2)?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

i can't speak directly for Tesco's pay as you go service, but I have had no problem accessing GPRS on my XDAII, which was bought under a 1 year contract in UK, after moving to Malaysia (on a local M'sian carrier).
what i do have trouble is, however, is setting the gprs up for mms services. Apparently on my cousin's xdaIIs bought here, mms services require connection to a separate gprs account, which can be specified on his mms settings but not on mine. and we can't seem to find anything different in the changeable settings! o well. i have no one to mms anyway...
somynex if you want help setting up your mms I can gladly assist. Its accually really easy. You have to set up your proxy on my work network. Just im me if you want some help.

No-one have any ideas? I think I'll likely move to o2 pay as you go.
Thanks
So I bought the HTC Once E8 from Etotalk, which came with all the Chinese apps removed and the Google Play store added. I went to the ATT store to get a nano sim, and calls and texts work just fine. My issue is with the data connection. I have done a lot of google fu, and have tried the same settings that people are using for UK M8's but am still having issues. From my understanding the bands are supported, so It should just be a configuration issue.
Would anybody be able to shed some light on this for me? This is my first overseas phone, and I have only had experience with vanilla Android installs to date.
Also, the first thing I did was install the software update from HTC, which probably wasn't the smartest move. I don't see how this would affect APN settings though....
Let me know if any other info is needed, thanks in advance for any help!!

You probably lost the etotalk modrom while updating, but that shouldn't be a big deal. Though it may have overwritten the predefined APN settings?
Did you manualy check your APN settings under settings --> mobile data --> sim1 --> access point names?

Yeah that's what I think happened, is that I lost the modrom. I wouldnt think that would affect the APN though, isn't that supposed to be unique to each country, or something of the sort? I will send Etotalk a message and ask them if there's a chance that could be it anyways.
I have indeed tried keying it in manually, trying every combination from default, to the one I got from the ATT rep, to the ones I have found online from different forums.

I tried using the legacy cingular APN. Apparently my grandfathered unlimited data plan was on these old codes, ie. 3G only...
Thanks anyways.
I jumped on the $250 eBay deal for this phone. Today, after installing my tmobile SIM card I can talk and text fine but the mobile data is not functioning. I've gone into the "Data Manager" menu and turned on the "mobile data"...airplane function is off....performed a factory reboot, and still nothing. What am I missing? Do I need to do an APN configuration? Being an unlocked phone, I thought it was a matter of plug and play. Data works fine in my moto g. Please help. Thanks

Yes, get your apn settings from Tmobile and enter inSettings, Networks,mobile networks, access point names. Create a new APN for t-mobile...save....choose the new apn. .... see if it works
Yes, sounds like you'd have to enter APN values, especially if voice and text are working. Not all phones auto populate APN values.
Not sure if these APN values are correct but it's a starting point: http://apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-settings-step-by-step-configuration/ . This is T-mobile's site for generic data settings for non T-Mobile phones: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
You guys were spot on...contacted tmobile and they had me up and running in less than 5 min with the proper APN config. Thanks for the help fellas.
Now if I could just get the latest software update without having to purchase the gophone SIM/plan...
Does Hotspot feature work for you?

Sorry to revive such an old post, but I am thinking of doing the same thing right now ($200 for a new unlocked AT&T Flex2), and wondered if your WIFI Hotspot function on the phone works with TMobile?
I've tried other AT&T unlocked phones on TM, and when I turn on the hotspot feature, I get a network error.
Thanks.
ps. Can you post the APN settings that TM gave you?
I originally posted this in the General section by mistake so i moved it to here. I just recently purchased a Sprint Note 5 from someone and it seems to work great, I did check with the Sprint store and Swappa to ensure a clean ESN. But what i am wondering is that when I go to the settings menu there is no Mobile Network menu. I have looked everywhere for it, does the Sprint model not come with it? I even clicked edit undrr the quick settings and it shows Mobile Networks as a selection and when i check it off and return to the main menu it doesnt show up under the quick settings. It is unrooted and stock. I did just upgrade to 6.0.1 yesterday as well.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Do calls, texts, data, mms all work fine?
I don't have Sprint as my carrier, I'm using T-Mobile. I bought the phone from someone and thought I wouldid unlock it but it's a pain to do. I just happen to be browsing the phone and noticed that the Mobile Network is not there.
I have a Zenphone 6 US version that I bought in 2020 in the U.S. while living here in Ireland. I ordered from Asus directly and not through a carrier. When I first got it I was unable to get mobile data. I was able to fix this by updating the APN no problem. I recently had to wipe my phone and reinstall everything so I lost alot of settings. Now when I go to APN Setting I get the "Access point name setting are not available to this user" I this something the added with the updates? Does anyone know a work around. I know rooting could be an option and I may finally go that route but if anyone has any other suggestions that would be great!
Thank you!
