I have purchased a new contract with vodafone through carphone warehouse. all set up ( so i thought ) but no mobile data is working, says 3g but no internet connection. called 191 they say i need to speak to carphone warehouse, called them, they said i need to ring vodafone. so im going round in circles!
191 says there is not data plan or cant see my data on your system?

Hi @adamd123
It may be a silly question but presumably you have mobile data turned on.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was your data settings, try texting WEB to 40127, this will configure your internet connection and download the APN data settings. Also make sure contract is selected in your phone data APN settings,
If this requires account access follow this link: Contact Us

Hi @adamd123
This sounds like an account issue where the data part of the contract taken out with Carphone has not been added to your account. If you use Facebook or Twitter follow the Contact the Team for Account Specific Enquiries .
By coming to the forum you will have found the best place to get your data connection working.
Having just had a further thought, it would also be worth checking the data application on your phone if it is set too low this will prevent any further access to your data allowance.

There can be a little bit of confusion when a contract is taken out via a 3rd party @adamd123
Your essentially CPW's Customer with Vodafone collecting payment and supplying the connection.
It's however a good idea that both parties are involved helping you.
As a process of elimination can you try your sim card in another phone ?
If it's the sim card then Vodafone Highstreet Store can supply another in house via a sim swap. Take ID.
Go to the Carphone Warehouse Store and they also maybe able to help if you haven't got a back up phone to try.
Or if it's your account then usually this sorts itself out in a short period of time and sometimes a soft reboot by turning the phone off and on helps along with choosing another network in the phones settings and then re choose Vodafone.

Just to add.
You can check and if necessary input your Apn settings via 》 carphonewarehouse.com/how-to-manually-enter-vodafone-apn-settings.
