Hi @Dale1994x

 

Welcome to the eForum.

 

So we can check the data package is on your account correctly, get in touch with our Live help team.

 

Thanks,

I have the same issue with my iPhone 5.  Just taken out a sim only deal with Vodafone, having moved from EE and brought my number with me.

 

On WIFI I can connect to the internet fine and use my apps online but otherwise on just 3G I get the error when going into my mailbox for example "Could not activate mobile data network" followed by "You are not subscribed to a mobile data service".

 

I have text "WEB" to 40127 but it just come up with a (!) Not Delivered message next to the text message. 

 

Calls do seem to work fine.  Can anybody help resolve this, my unlimited data test drive is somewhat of a none starter!

Just an update.  So the morning after I posted the above I checked my phone and it works!

 

I received two messages overnight telling me I had switched off international calls and adult content, I then turned off my wifi and went online and it just worked.

 

I guess yesterday the SIM was still becoming active given it was a new contract but I did take the contract out on Sunday lunchtime and it is now Wednesday morning so taken approx. 3 days to port my old number and get all my services. 

 

Hope this update is helpful to anyone having similar issues. :smileyvery-happy:
