I have huge problems with my mobile data on this device. Most of the time i have NO connection whatsoever as soon as I am away from home/work. Sometimes i have a connection that is SUPER slow. This is unacceptable. Device has been sent out for repairs twice, SIM card was changed, APN settings manually put in, turning on and off, airplane mode on and off… NOTHING. Tried to fill a form on the website, but this does not work, I get a message that I should use the troubleshooting webpage and the form is not sent. There is no phone number. I am getting very frustrated with this. Anyone have the same problem?
What was the last update?
Where do you live and who is your provider?
How could is our SIM-card?
What are your APN-settings

hi Fstm
Welcome to the Fairphone community forum.
sorry to hear your phone is not working properly.
i just starts filling in som information i not get clear, please correct if i guess wrong.
you are telling the phone is working normal when on work or at home so what i getting is that your mobile network is not working at all and your phone is using the WiFi. please dubbel check if your Network is turned on for your phone and at the simcard settings.
is calling and SMS posible (i understood yes)? please be aware that calling and SMS using Whatsapp or a similar app is different from what i meant here.
the simcard was changed. was this done at the service store of your provider?
if not you can consider going there. it can be a provider isu. (dit you tried your simcard in a different phone?)
i still expect some setting are not right, it happens a lot, no worries about that.
you can try as wel to reset the network settings as explain in this picture, this is a answer from Fairphone seport for a little different network isu where the same reset dit solve the problem.
be aware this reset will remove a lot of settings permanently.
please don’t forget to first answer the question of @Meaghan and @Lidwien.

Hi Lidwien, thanks for your reaction
Last update: 5 november 2024 Update check performed today.
I live in Belgium, provider is Proximus
My SIM card was changed when the problems first started, several months ago
My APN settings are internet.proximus.be
Does anything stand out here?
Hi Tom, thanks for your message
My mobile data is on
Calling and SMS is not possible
The sim card works in my old phone. It was done at the service provider.
Hope someone has an idea of what is wrong with this phone.

Could you check all the settings of the APN with the info on Mobiel internetinstellingen Proximus
Sometimes it helps to make a new APN.

I have the same problem.
Thanks, did as you suggested, did not solve the problem.
Although your phone was away for repair I’d try to exclude the phone as the culprit: Try your SIM card in a different phone and try a different SIM card (ideally from a different carrier) in your phone. If the issue persists with your phone you’ll need to get in touch with Fairphone again. If the problem stays with your SIM card then you need to contact Proximus again.
I understand that it’s frustrating if no one wants to be responsible for the issue.
