[Guest ropin]

hi im new to android and im lost. basically i want to know how to re-enable mobile data to browse the web on 3G. when i first booted the device i chose to only use WIFI but now i dont know how to start mobile data. ive been to Data Connection Setting but everytime i tick that it says connection failed. any help would be greatly appreciated.

What SIM are you using? It sounds like you need an APN set up.
