IPhone help

Hi all

I've bought an Iphone from eBay which included the original PayGo SIM. I've plugged this in and I got a text saying that the free web & wifi bolt on has been activated. However, I can't connect via 3G as it says "Could not activate cellular data network: You are not subscribed to a cellular data service."

Any Iphone guru's able to help?

Thanks

    Firstly you need to have 3g enabled in the menu.

    Secondly the SIM Card needs to be enabled to receive 3g service which o2 can activate.

    so long as its a o2 3g sim you need to change the settings

    settings.....general... network.... cellular data network

    In the APN box, change mobile.o2.co.uk ( or poss could say something else if os3 loaded ) to payandgo.o2.co.uk. You don't need to change the user name and password

    press home... you may even have to reboot , and poss even register via itunes

    make sure the sim is the one with free data ( was 12m ) Otherwise your credit will be used up quickly
