ZTE v970 won't connect to data - only to wifi

Hi there,

I got a ZTE v970 about a week ago. Android version 4.1.2 MIUI version 3.2.22

My phone will not connect to data. I have no problem connecting it to wifi. When I turn wifi off, it won't connect (doesn't receive mail, whatsapp messages, surf the internet, etc.).

I have checked the following, and also read up a LOT on the subject:
-My data settings are correct.
-Have spoken to my carrier - everything is connected, and has no reason not to work.
-The data programme works on my other phone.
-On toggle options (pull-down menu on the home-page), data is activated.
-ALL the forums, links, and videos, etc. on the net for turning data roaming on or off, apply to other OS versions of this phone. I say this with certainty because the settings menu is different. I have no data roaming option on the menu, nor any roaming settings!!

I have the following options within settings ---> mobile networks --->
-Data connection. Clicking on that allows me to click on my sim, or switch it off. No further options once you click on the sim.
-Network mode. Gives you option of GSM/WCDMA; WCDMA only; GSM only. I selected GSM/WCDMA.
-Preferred networks. My carrier is at the top of the list.
-Access point names. General apn has my carrier settings. MMS has my carrier settings. Both have been certified correct by my carrier
-Network operators ---> Gives option of manually; automatically. Mine is set to automatically.
-Mobile data service preferred. Off

Any ideas? PLEASE help! I love this OS, but I may have to downgrade it to enable data package settings, but of course I'll be exchanging it for a series of other bugs! Thanks in advance! :confused:
