Mobile Internet and Data Issues

Mobile Data Issues

 

If you are having issues accessing the internet on your phone, take a look at the following steps. 

 

First, check the following:

  • If you are a prepay customer, ensure you have an active data bundle or have credit on your account.
  • If you are a bill pay customer, ensure your account is active and you have not breached your credit limit or data roaming cap. 

 

Next, check the following:

  • Are you having issues with all internet services, or one specific site/app? If it is only one site or app, then it is not an overall internet issue. 
  • Try turning your phone off and on again to see if that fixes the problem (it often works!). 
  • Are you having issues in one specific area? If so, there may be an issue with the coverage in that area. Check our Coverage Map to check the coverage in your area and our Planned Works blog to see if there are network updates taking place.
  • Check your internet settings. If the settings on your phone are incorrect, you may not be able to access the Internet or send picture messages. Check out our Mobile Settings article for more info.
  • Try manually selecting a network. Sometimes, even if you can't access Three's 5G network in a certain area, you should be able to access the 4G network. On most phones, it is possible to set your device so that it automatically chooses the best signal strength (5G/4G/3G). To find out how to select a network, visit our Device Support area. Select your device, then go to 'How to manually select a network' under the 'Network section'. From there, follow the instructions. 

If you have checked all of the above and the issue persists, try your SIM in another phone.

  • If there are no issues on the other phone, this indicates a problem with your phone. You can get your phone sent for repair from any Three Store.
  • If you are still having problems with another phone, then you should get your SIM replaced from any Three Store.

 

If you are still experiencing issues, contact us here on 3Community. We can check your area for any current outages or site issues, and can also check your account to ensure you are set up correctly for 4G and 5G data.
