After checking the APN settings for the millionth time I’ve found the problem. It’s down to my own human error - however this may help someone else who makes the same mistake.The APN name should be “tslpaymnet” and I had written “tslpayment”.
1 letter in the wrong place has been the cause of all my problems.
Thanks to those who offered help. I got there in the end…
Hi Ros - did you actually get the TPO sim to connect to data in the end? I’m having the same problem and when I spoke to TPO they seemed to think it was because they operate on a different frequency (or something technical!). Chris
Hello, this is my first foray into the forum discussions so I’m hoping I’ve come in at a good place; apologies if not. I’ve had an FP2 since the end of March and all is well apart from data connection and MMS. My provider is The Phone Co-op. I have entered the APN settings they advise for both internet (‘Orange Internet’) and MMS (Orange MMS) and I’ve added their recommendations for settings for a new APN because of my failure to get the previous settings to work. Very occasionally all is well and I will manage to connect with the ‘Orange Internet’ APN settings (and an H letter showing by the relevant SIM signal).
However, usually I get the message “no APN specified” when I turn on my Data Usage and no connection is possible and/or I will get a G letter by the relevant SIM signal.
Most times this isn’t a problem but a few times a year I want to be able to take payments via an iZettle card reader where there isn’t any WiFi available and most times I am stumped by the “no APN specified” message.
I have done the usual checks many times over and would be grateful for any other suggestions. Many thanks.
Hi - thanks for your reply - I check to see if I’ve got data by opening an app eg BBC Weather and check to see if I can update it. Usually I can’t and I get the message ‘no APN specified’ flash up at the bottom of the screen.
(Sorry for such a slow response from me - work kept me away from my laptop for a few days.)
