Help 3G Help

I updated my apps and when they were finished, I lost 3g on my phone. I can't access the internet thru 3g. The '3g' doesn't show up on my phone at all. I can access the internet thru wifi only when I'm at home, even then the wifi disconnects and reconnects all the time. I've removed the battery and rebooted countless times. Please help! I've called the VM help line and they weren't much help.
 
this may seem simple, but it happened to my phone for no apparent reason.

go into "settings" --> Wireless & Network Settings --> Mobile Networks

is the "Data Enabled" checked?

when i lost the 3G on my optimus, i called VM because i couldn't figure out why my phone didn't connect to the internet anymore (except through wifi) and the person actually pointed me to this setting. somehow the setting got unchecked after i downloaded some apps and restarted the phone.
 
mkbkr1 is right. Toggle the activate app. It might take a few try's, but it should work(happened to me one time on a custom ROM)
 
It worked! I got my 3g back by hitting activate, it took a few times, but I'm back to normal now. Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
 
Thank you! I had this same issue and this worked :) Funny thing is, when it got done it gave me an error message and said no network was available, but I had 3G and phone. Go figure.
