My vodaphone PAYG is gone to hell , Max 10 MB download-0.35 upload

10MB down is very good.
10Mbps is what it'll be in 2 weeks ish.

I don't see the issue really, if it's stable and near ish to 10Mbps it'll be grand for pretty much everything you'll be doing on the phone anyway, unless you're using it as a hotspot for the whole house.

It's not steady ATM, sometimes up to 50 MB sometimes 2.5

Are you confusing MB/s with Mbps?
50MB is about 400Mbps, which is faster than my Virgin Media broadband.

One of the reasons VF are doing this is so they don't end up like 3 and have actual stability in their network.

Probably uses the HS APN which you need to pay for.

The Live APN uses your data allowance.

Thanks for the information, it's a bit over my head. I take it there is nothing I can do to change it? Other than change my plan

If there is no APN selection setting on the device you could ask VF to disable the HS APN at account level, but that depends on your plan and if they'll allow you to use the SIM in a hotspot.

Connect to the settings of the device through a web browser. The usual address is 192.168.1.1 (type that into browser address bar), check the user manual for steps.

Within settings there should be APN details that can be edited, the APN should be set to live.vodafone.com

The SIM PIN might also need to be entered in the device settings.

Does the SIM work in a phone and if so, does hotspot work from the phone?

Hi ten pin

Thanks for your reply, I am going to try that now. Yes I can use data from the phone and also hot spot no problem. I will give the settings a go and see if that works

Ten pin thank you so much, working perfect now ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Just realized my data wasn't working, checked the usual settings etc, then realized my plan (MusicX) had lapsed, check the app and its a new app, looks like the new app has deleted my recurring payment and i never realized. Might help someone else from missing their topup and using their credit by mistake.

Thanks for that. Is the €5 Spotify Premium subscription gone? Mine disappeared on last top up and I can't figure out how to get it back!

I got 5e free credit when I topped up by 20 in one go, so at least that covers Spotify for another month!

I just got €52 credit wiped out on Vodafone X.
It's the usual problem - it's happened to me twice before, when I got an OS update and when I changed a handset - you have to delete the bastard APN (hs.whatever) that charges when you use the phone as a hotspot, and only use the live.vodafone one. Unfortunately Moto pushed 5 or so updates at me over the weekend, including update to Android 10, and one of them reloaded the 3 APNs from the SIM - and 2 episodes of The Shield later my internet stopped, out of credit! So at that point I deleted bastard APN and internet resumed. I've complained to Vodafone but they are playing silly buggers like they don't know what I am talking about. Customer service guy seems to be in India.

Does the unlimited data starts on Saturday?
