Orange/EE no 3G Connection in Dulwich

[neverdullindulwich]

Getting no 3g on ogange today - saying incorrect APN settings. Telephone helpdesk also has a fault and can;t accept calls.

Twitter seems to show a problem in the area - anyone else getting a problem?

I'm with Orange and haven't had a problem at all, but can't say specifically today as the phone is using my home WiFi.

No problem with texts, calls or downloading stuff today, and no problem yesterday when I wasn't at home.

Same here specifically today..

3G here is fine using the combined EE network.

Never had any probs with network or 3G on EE

Sue..

Your phone signal comes from the nearest Orange/EE Aerial.

Your Wi Fi signal comes from your Wireless Router . (If your phone has Wi Fi.) ??

They are completely separate entities.

Your phone calls do not go over Wi Fi unless you are using Skpe.

If you have Data Enabled then you can access the internet via your Phone Line when Wi-Fi is not available.

This is expensive once you have used up any allowance you may have.

My EE signal is fairly weak indoors.

Mine was working fine over the weekend.

I recently switched from Orange (not 3G) to O2 (3G) and now have the worst time of my life with connection. The lack of signal is pathetic. Also when it goes completely wrong my phone displays and seems to get locked into its own no signal symbol - I have to switch it off and on again to get it going.

Finally, sussed the difference between a 3G phone and a 4G phone - you don't want to smash a 4G phone against the wall for being so rubbish.

Yes I know.

Downloading on my phone uses the WiFi when it's connected, no?

ETA: I'm aware calls and texts don't use WiFi :)

If you're on Android, download the Open Signal Maps app from Google Play, it'll show you where you're receiving your phone signal from in addition to checking your download speed.

just got an Orange upgrade to ICS tonight.

Been playing with my phone ever since :))

Make sure you have an up to date 3G sim card. I got sent one last year and ignored it then Orange turned my existing sim card off and I had to ring up about it. All a bit embarrassing really as I should have just swapped my sim when instructed.
