Guest dimepop Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Hi, i recently bought my San Francisco and ulocked it to use my O2 simplicity PAYG Simcard. I haven't rooted or install a custom ROM yet. The problem is that 3G doesn't work with an O2 simcard, i called Customer Services and they said this phone is not recognized them and they can't send me a text to activate 3G on my mobile. Does anyone know how to activate it? If I install the 3r Modaco custom ROM would i be able to use 3G with a PAYG O2 Simcard? Thanks
Guest waj1234 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Go to settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks/access point names, then press menu and new apn. Then put these details in O2 PAYG Name - O2 mobile web Apn - payandgo.o2.co.uk proxy - not set port - not set Username - payandgo Password - password Server - not set MMSC - http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002 MMS proxy - 193.113.200.195 MMS port - 8080 MCC - 234 MNC - 20 APN type - not set
Guest dimepop Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Hi , thanks for your reply.. It's weird.. I enter all the details and when i click SAVE it goes back to the APN menu but it's empty.. If i only enter the name and the APN and save it i can see the created APN but if i fill in all the details and save it it's gone.. :) Any thoughtS? Thanks Go to settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks/access point names, then press menu and new apn. Then put these details in O2 PAYG Name - O2 mobile web Apn - payandgo.o2.co.uk proxy - not set port - not set Username - payandgo Password - password Server - not set MMSC - http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002 MMS proxy - 193.113.200.195 MMS port - 8080 MCC - 234 MNC - 20 APN type - not set

Thanks Pretty sure I read someone else having a similar issue, tried searching? I think the disappearing APNs appeared for them once they rooted and stuck the custom ROM on.
Guest dimepop Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Ok, i was planning to do the rooting and custom rom today so i will try later at home. Thanks for your help.
Guest csr_cafc Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 I have a rooted and got r3 on my SF and 3G works fine on o2 payg. Signal is rubbish though....but not the phones fault!
Guest dimepop Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Ok, just in case someone else have the same problem.. If i enter all the details it works, but the moment i change MNC - 20, then if i save it it disappears. So i don't modify this value and it works, saves the APN and connects to 3G.. Weird, right?

Weird, right? ive just done the same and its worked for me, v strange.
Guest RottenFoxBreath Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 ive just done the same and its worked for me, v strange. According to Wikipedia(sigh :) ), MNC 20, is "3" network..it says o2 is a few others..weird.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code

Guest ajjubloom Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 This one really works. Except that dont change the MNC to 20, just keep it as it is. Thank you guys for this help. I had been running from pillar to post to get this sorted and both O2 and Ornage have been at the unhelpful best.
Guest allsaint78 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 Thank you so much this was the final part of setting up my phone and it worked. I did not type in a few things exactly as stated and then finally realised why it wasn't working. I think being tired may have caused that.
