Help Cant connect to mobile internet.

[chrisdude70]

Hello,

I just bought an S3 and I'm having problems connecting to mobile internet.

Works on Wi-Fi just fine.
All my provider settings are correct.

Data is on, airplane mode is off.

I can make calls, I have sufficient data balance.

I was connecting to the internet with my old Xperia X10 just fine using the same carrier from the same location.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Which Carrier? Do you have auto wifi on? My Verizon S3 will not connect to 3G with auto Wifi on. I must manually toggle wifi on/off to get 3g. I have not found anyone else discussing this issue.

I had this problem with 2 of 3 s3's I purchased. The problem was bad SIM cards. Putting new discards in fixed the problem.

Was your problem complete loss of connectivity or just a problem with connectivity with wifi turned on? Thanks.

Worked fine with WiFi on. Never had data connection with WiFi turned off.

That may be the OPs problem but I have no issues connecting to 3G with Wifi turned off. Wifi works fine as well. Like I said before my problem happens with Wifi on and out of wifi range. Hopefully your post will help the OP.

I also had this problem. The 3G icon would show up intermittently at best and when I tried to connect, I would get the Page not available check connection error. Sim swap worked for me as well.
