Your APN settings may have changed.

Alternatively, you should be able to ask them to automatically update the settings by SMS.

Had a similar problem myself this morning after updating and solved it by resetting my APN (O2) which solved the problem.:eek:

Needed to do a factory reset on my two year old HTC Desire because I kept getting "running out of storage" messages - suggested by a friend.

It did the trick - the phone is faster and now has enough space.

Problem 1: no matter the back up my phone contacts failed to reinstall (not a big problem, the list needed a clean)

Problem 2: failed to connect to mobile network. Tried the APN reset above (on Orange) but keep getting a "failed message"

Any help for problem 2 gratefully received.

Thanks.
