    I bought a Google Nexus 7 3G last week and I got a Vodafone Micro sim card yesterday. I registered the micro sim online and it has credit on it to use it. I tried it today and It is telling me to sign on to the vodafone network. There is a full signal and mobile data is switched on. What am I missing?

    I have checked the APN settings. Everything seems fine. I have requested on Vodafone community forum to have the micro sim activated. There is H or 3G next to the signal bar and I have a full signal. No connectivity though. Everytime I switch on data I get a message asking me to sign onto the Vodafone network which appears in the top left hand corner. When I click on it it tries to open a web page but it says invalid request.

    OK, you can request activation here:

    https://community.vodafone.ie/t5/Handsets-amp-Devices-General/Need-your-Nano-Sim-or-Micro-Sim-Activated-POST-IT-HERE/td-p/79436/page/10

    I linked to the last page, so you are probably already there....

    best of luck. IP

    I have had the sim activated. Thanks for the info. It is still not working though. There is a H or a 3G symbol showing next to the signal strength bar and I have a full signal but I still can't open any webpages. I am registered on the vodafone network but everytime I turn on the mobile data I get asked to sign into the vodafone network. It is very frustrating. No one else seems to have the same issue. I have searched everywhere.
