No Mobile Data - FIXED

[#1]

Hello,

Have a Lumia 940 Dual SIM phone running Windows 10 Mobile that worked fine with EE PAYG. Got a plusnet SIM (a MVNO on EE in the UK), and it wouldn't connect to the Internet.  Same network, etc, but not working 😞 

When I inserted the SIM, the phone asked me to choose between LIFE and EE - I chose EE (this turned out to be the right choice, but it still didn't work).

Found an article suggesting setting up the APN; tried this; didn't make a difference.  Besides, when I choose EE, it uses the right APN settings anyway.

The prospect of hours chatting with Technical Support filled me with sooo much dread...

In the end, I fixed it myself; this worked for me;

Settings > Network & Wireless > Mobile & SIM

Ensure Data Connnection is On.

For SIM 1, ensure it is On.

Tap SIM 1 settings (or similar).

Under mobile network, tap Search for networks.

After 1-3 minutes, it offers a list of networks.  Choose plusnet (LTE, 3G, 2G).

Now, Mobile Internet started working.

Hope this is of use 🙂
