Help Not getting 3G at all...

Hello, this is my first post here.

I just got my Optimus V last Saturday. I believe I set up everything fine, and have downloaded some apps.

It was working pretty good until this morning, but today I haven't got any 3G signal at all. I thought I would have 3G almost anywhere, but this is my first smartphone I'm not so positive....

At this time, I'm not concerned about battery life and such. I just want 3G to be working as often as possible.

Can you tell me what to do and what to expect?

I live in NYC, so the area shouldn't be the issue.

Thanks in advance,
 
Thanks everyone,

I called VM, they told me to do everything you posted and it came back to life! They actually activated more than 3 or 4 times with different codes or whatever it is, and told me to wait for 4 hours. As soon as we finished the conversation(and I was ready to wait for 4 hours) I saw 3g came back to my phone!

Thank you again,

Glad it worked, but this will continue to occur from time to time. I have to force 3G to turn back on at least twice a week. Usually, toggling Airplane mode works, but once in a while I have to turn the phone off and then back on before it will work.

Just one of them quirky things that I am VERY willing to put up with to continue to pay $25/month for a smart phone, be it entry level or not.
