Could not activate cellular data network

Hi there people!

I've had my iPhone for a couple of days, and so far had no probs with accessing the internet, APPstore, iMaps etc, but about an hour ago started having this message appear when trying to do anything internet related. The full message is -

Could not activate cellular data network - pdp authentication failure.

All settings were changed to the pay and go network, have tried hard resetting, removing/re-inserting SIM card, turning on and off etc...

Could this be a network issue? Anybody else having any probs?

Cheers

Re: Could not activate cellular data network

I'm having the exact same problem with my iPhone 3GS on PAYG. It was working fine around 6 this evening but now it's just coming up with the same error.

I'm guessing has it's not just me then there is a network error/fault somewhere. My phone is not unlocked or jailbroken.

Re: Could not activate cellular data network

Why this is posted in the Modifications forum I have no idea?

And also there are existing threads on this error and the possible causes, so please search those out and continue your conversation there.
