I have two iphone 5's and one has Cellular and the other shows mobile data in the menu's. Why do the two phones show different menu names?



Iphone 5: Settings>General>Cellular


Iphone 5: Settings>General>Mobile Data


Has anyone seen this before? The phone with mobile data as the menu also did have the hotspot shortcut on the main settings screen.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

Hi,

I Hope you have solved your problem. If not read on below


The same thing happened to me. I have two iPhone 5S's and it had "Cellular" in one and "Mobile" in the other in the Settings. I understand how annoying it is 😉


I played around and found the solution for this.


Here's what you should do :-

GoTo

Settings

-> General

->Scroll Down to International

->Check the Language.

- For BRITISH ENGLISH - Its "Mobile"

- For ENGLISH - Its "Cellular"


Change both your phone to any one of the above languages and it should solve your proble.


Let me know if it helps 🙂


Cheers !
