Issue 1: No Internet Access

I double-checked the APN details to ensure there were no typos. Restarting my phone helped reset the network connection. If that didn’t work, I enabled and disabled Airplane Mode to refresh the connection, which usually fixed the problem.

Issue 2: Slow Data Speeds

First, I checked whether I had reached my data limit for the month. Next, I tested my connection in different locations to rule out network congestion. Switching between 4G and 3G also helped me compare speeds and find a more stable connection.

Issue 3: MMS Texts Not Sending

I made sure the MMS settings were entered correctly and that my messaging app was properly configured. Clearing the app cache and checking whether my phone supported MMS also solved the problem.
