"Could not activate mobile data network" - New Orange phone error?

lukechad · 18 Aug 2010 at 19:07

I am trying to access the app store with my new iphone 3gs and getting the above error message.

Any ideas? The phone is literally 30 mins old and this is the first time im trying to access it?

Yeah got through to orange customer support who said it would be because the 3g/gprs network is down and told me it should be back on within 24hours!!!

Does this happen often with Orange? First day on orange and having issues! I had issues with signal etc with Vodafone last week and ran away from them hoping Orange was a better choice!

So is it strange that 5hrs later I am still without internet access of my iphone?

Ok hopefully things will be back on again in the morning then

Great! Still off for me!! I get some data at times but 90% of the time I'm totally dataless! Hope it gets sorted soon!

I appear to have internet working now.

Next to my signal bars i have a circle, is this showing I have 2G coverage (GPRS), 3G is off at the moment anyway but should I get an "E" for edge eventually?

Right just this is my 2nd iphone in a week, the first was with Vodafone but I ended that due to poor (well, non existant) coverage while at work, but when I was at home I got the E symbol and the internet wasnt all that bad.

Just wondered if this should appear with orange when this problem is out of the way.
