Vodafone data/sim question.

I'm on a Voda Hero, here in the UK. Everything has been peachy up until a couple of hours ago, when I dropped off the network, so no calls or data. I called Voda and they 'jinxed' the connection, which meant that the phone worked for a moment and then again I lost the network. After using WIFI and then coming off it, I now have calls as usual, but no data/emails and Voda say it is because I 'have a very old sim' and want me to visit the store in the morning to get a new one.
Sorry for such a long question, but it boils down to; can an ancient sim which has worn out lead to no data delivery, or does that seem unlikely?
Many thanks!

Just tried the sim in another phone and the data downloaded, so now I have to work out why my Hero is still polling but downloading nothing, even though I haven't changed any settings!
I would be very grateful for any input please...
Ta.

It sounds similar to the problems a lot of Vodafone users are having. I personally had the same issues and my sim's only about 6 months old. After I did a factory reset everything seemed to clear up and I've had no real problems since.

Okay, ta. I didn't realise that Voda users were having major problems - is it some kind of network clash with the Hero, do you think?

It's difficult to know what is causing it (some say its Voda blocking ports) but you can read more about it here

Hi there. I have set this up (in attempt to get some Facebook connection) and although it allows me to set up the profile, it doesn't then give me the option to select it - there is no 'green button', although the profile is in the list. I have just upgraded my ROM from the HTC site and am unbranded although using Voda in the UK.
Many thanks for your help, in advance.

Try using:
wap.vodafone.co.uk as the APN name and use wap as the username and password.

Ta, but it makes no difference. To be clear, Vodafone Post-pay ISP and Vodafone Prepay ISP are the only two options selectable. I can set up as many new ones as I like, but it isn't giving me the option of selecting them...

1. Go to Settings -> mobile network / cellular.
2. Switch 'Data connection' on.
3. Press the 'Network selection', and change it from 'automatic' to 'press to select'.
4. Hit 'press to select' and choose the network you're using.
5. Press the 'edit apn' button.
6. Enter the APN (Access Point Name), username and password, then press 'done' button.
I uninstalled Samsung's Network Profile app since I read a user report in a forum that app drawns the battery.

If you changed your SIM card and your provider, then it can happen that the default configuration for your data connection is not set automatically.
Maybe you need to set your APN for your data connection yourself.

Hi Brainmaster.
How to set your APN for data connection yourself?
i used to auto Configure the Internet Connection every time change the sim card follow the profile... since it not work for WIFI to internet.
Appreciate your help.. thanks

First, try to restart sence.
Second, see if your wifi is working for internet browsing, for example.
Third, reboot your phone
Four, try to re-apply the assistant (zero configuration setting)
Then, if nothing is working as you want, you can try this:
1. Click on ‘Windows hardware button’ at main screen.
2. Go to ‘Settings’.
3. Select ‘Wireless & networks’
4. Check ‘Mobile network ~ Use phone for data connection when WiFi is unavailable’.
5. Select ”Mobile network ~ Set options for roaming, networks, APNs’.
6. Select ‘Access Point Names’. Note – A blank APNs page will be shown.
7. Click on ‘Windows hardware button’. It will bring up 2 options ~ ‘New APN’ and ‘Reset to default’.
8. Select ‘New APN’.
9. Key in ‘My APN’ by clicking on ‘Name’. Note – you can key in any name you want. I selected ‘My APN’.
10. Key in ‘My APN’ by clicking on ‘APN’. Note – you can key in any APN you want. I selected ‘My APN’.
11. Click on ‘Windows hardware button’.
12. Then click on ‘Save’.
13. Select on ‘My APN’.
14 at very bottom where it says 'apn type....put in 'default'
15....clcik save
16: clear cache, cookies, location access the lot
Maybe, it can help.

New I9500 doesn't recognize my Sim Card

PS: the phone seems to detect the sim Card, but 3G and Edge just don't work.
Hello all,
After some research, I still don't find any answer. So I created this topic.
I bought a new galaxy s4 I9500 with Exynos 5 CPU. I have some problems todays when I first switch on it. I can make call, or send SMS, no problem. But on the one hand, I don't get my carrier Logo, on the other hand, my 3G or Edge connexion is disabled. I don't know where can I enable them. It is weired that we always have to activate wifi for internet surfing.
I am a noob in telecommunication, I thought that I9500 (international model) should work in every country.
So if someone can explain me this, I would really appreciate. THank you in advance.

Any idea please? Thank you. I just found an option who search avaible carrier, I choose my carrier(Virgin Mobile, France). And It doesn't change anything. Still can call and sms, but no 3G or edge.

Try this to see if your data network mode is enable
-Long press the power button
-Device option menu will pop up
-Look at the data network mode column, it should be written "Data network mode activated"

Yes it is activated

You need to add APN for both internet & MMS
Search your carrier/provider for settings...
Settings >> connections >> more networks >> mobile networks >> access point names

You can get those settings from your network provider's site usually. Most of the time you just need to fill in username and password.
