Using Nexus 6 on Vodafone

nedd

Vodafone are telling me they cannot provide Data to my Nexus 6 because:

"Vodafone do not stock the device, and do not forecast selling it, therefore they do not have the carrier settings or OTA settings for it.
Only Talk and Text will be available to you."

Is this the case? I would assume if I configure the APN correctly on the Nexus 6 data should work.

Anyone have experience?

Thanks

nedd

So I have stuck the SIM in and data is not working. I have copied the APN settings from my old phone and still no joy

Vodafone tell me they don't support data on the Nexus 6 and won't enable it for my account.

Has anyone experienced this before?

I had a nexus 6 on Vodafone, Data worked as soon as I put the sim in, 4G Worked perfectly.

I should coco!

Is it a European Nexus 6? Did it work on a previous network or did you just get it on your current network (VF)?

Strange that drver's worked and yours isn't.

Have you tried just selecting another handset for the OTA settings? Like a Nexus 5 or one that is supported...

nedd

Its all very strange. I think they have turned data off on my account.
Can anyone post the son settings they are using with Vodafone? I was using hs.vodafone.ie
I will try talking to them again tomorrow.

Just tell them you've galaxy or something and get them to send the OTA to you and see.

Or if you know anyone with an Android device, just copy their settings.

That's what I am going to try tomorrow. I have tried every combination of APN and can't get it working.

Nearly sure it was US version(new sealed in box), LTE instead of 4g, don't have it anymore so can't post up any settings, smashed the screen! So sold it on, have oneplus one now.

I know everyone is wondering the outcome here so I will post the good news.

Told Vodafone I have the SIM in a HTC One M8 and they enabled data on my account again.

Thanks for your support during this harrowing time.

I had a Nexus 6 twice (2 different one) and both times 4G worked on Vodafone as soon as the sim card was inserted.

What a shower of sh**es. Your data should never have been disabled in the first place.

I'd be making a complaint. They went out of their way to be awkward about it for no good reason!

Definitely complain. Are you in contract? You might have grounds to get out of it because that sounds seriously dodgy what they did.
