ios 6 no internet on 3G

I've just upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 and now internet isn't working on 3G anymore. 3G is switched on and the network strength shows 4 bars.


For the record, internet works as soon as wifi is switched on and connected.


(oddly enough, it shows iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS6 whereas I've selected iPhone 4S, iOS 6 as Product when posting this message...)

I totally agree. Apple, how is this possible..??


i´m from Bolivia (souht america country) and i have the same problem, since i upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 (two days ago) I have limited 3g connnection in my Iphone 4s, i'm sure this is an iOS 6 problem, my wife's Iphone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) works fine with the same carrier usiging the same APN and I used to have no problems usgin 3g connection until the upgrade. I already tried resetting network settings, turning phone on and off and the problem remains the same, very frustrating.! 😟😟


Apple please do something about this issue ASAP..!!

I sort of have the same problem. I would have strong ATT 4G LTE signal on my iPhone 5 and I cannot make or recieve any calls. I try to make calls and i get "CALL FAILED". I notice the indicator switching from LTE to NOTHING. It usually changes to 4G but in certain places it doesn't. It fails to connect to 4G(basically 3G), so I can't make or recieve calls in those places while my dads flip phone with ATT 3G works perfectly.

PLEASE HELP!

Net10 provides service for my iPhone locked to ATT. I havent had any issues with my cellular data until I updated to iOS 6. Restored, issue persists. Contacted NET10, and found this information:


-called 1-877-836-2368, provided my cell number, got a rep after about 10 min.

- rep says that cellular data has been suspended on the iPhone due to "high data usage".

-transferred to "High data use" line, which gave me these instructions on how to resolve this:

-You are hearing this message because your data service has been suspended in accordance with our terms and conditions

-AT&T compatiable sim cards are being capped at 1.5 GB of data per month, effective march 1st 2013

-this does not apply to Tmobile compatiable sim cards or to Net10 phones.

-Visit Net10 net10data.com for terms and conditions

-AT&T sim card, resolve by unlocking iPhone

-data service will be restored 24 hrs after adding a new service card or a plan AFTER your service enddate. Adding a service card BEFORE your service enddate WILL NOT restore your service.


-so get the phone unlocked, and then make sure to add a plan or pin AFTER your service expires.

-call the number above for NET10 customers to make sure this is the issue as well


i hope this helps!

Hi Guys,


i have found a solution to this problem from the net, its not a permanant solution though..


if your really in need of 3G then all you have to do is to, go to settings>Carrier>tun off automatic, and then it will start serching for a network, once you see the service provider to whom your subscribed to, select that and then go back...after a few seconds... "3G" will apear on the screen and then your good to go....

ios 6 no internet on 3G
