    Hi I got an "upgrade" from my iPhone 5s to a Samsung a8 ,the android equivalent the rep said, and I can't say I'm happy with it !
    It's been giving problems registering with available networks etc so alot of missed calls :(
    Was onto 3 and I upgraded my sim card , no difference.
    But I can't connect to 02and Vodafone networks as my 'sim won't allow it '
    Also in settings there is one restricted network ,Huawei p8, which if it's a phone leads me to think this wasn't a new phone they gave me.
    Is there a way of finding out ?

    If you're seeing a P8 in networks it's just that someone nearby has their phone acting as a wireless hotspot. Nothing to be concerned about.

    Firstly I would say the A8 is more than an equivalent to the 5s

    With the networks I'm confused if it's mobile networks then you would be restricted from Vodafone and o2 as your on three?

    With the p8 surely this is coming up in WiFi networks and not mobile networks which as the above poster said would be a hot-spot and would be restricted by password?
