Guest beyond_all_control Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could put me out of my misery on this - Basically I have an unlocked ZTE Crescent that I bought in England and used happily for about 6 months without any issues. I have now moved to Australia and since then I have not been able to use any 3G what so ever. I'm fine making calls and texts and receiving them but there is nothing going on in the internet department. I have tried 2 seperate sims from different service providers but still nothing. Should my phone work over here or is it a simple case of it just won't and I need to get myself a new one? Any advice would be really apprecaited as i'm tearing my hair out over this! Cheers, Jason.

Guest Bouncer5 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) EDIT: Just seen your using San Francissco II. You must make your phone run on 900/1800 Bands for 2G and 900/2100 FOR 3G From what I can tell (Wikipedia) the bands are just slightly different enough to casue a problem, It seems Optus is the one that should cause the less amount of problems, Although you may need to change a setting somewhere. Can someone with more knowledge verify this information? The networks that run on Optus are as follows: Optus Virgin Mobile TPG Savvytel Boost Mobile Amaysim DODO Woffle Startel Tru Everyday Mobile (Runs on 2G only, Good for your battery life! Bad for your sanity) Woolworths Mobile Live Connected Vaya Edited May 10, 2012 by Bouncer5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fr0do Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Can you get an AP list from the providers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsr2 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Do you need to set up a local APN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beyond_all_control Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Right so I currently have an Optus sim in there, when i spoke to customer services we went through the APN and here's what he told me to put in there: Name: optus internet APN: yesinternet Proxy: Not Set Port: Not Set Username: Not Set Password: Not Set Server: Not Set MMSC: Not Set MMS Proxy: Not Set MMS Port: Not Set MCC: 505 MNC: 02 Authentication Type: PAP APN Type: Internet According to the guy i spoke to thats all i should need to make it work....but it doesn't. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
