If you can borrow a buddy's Roger's phone, try you Speakout SIM card on that. Data may not be enabled for all I know.

Reset to factory settings did the trick. I guess there was a problem in the phone with the UMB changing to Data. Now connected!

I recently was able to get Data working on my Nexus S that I brought over from Mobilicity. Oddly, the official Speakout APN settings does not work for me, but the Rogers APN as well as the internet.com APN does. Once I enable data with the check mark it takes a few minutes before a letter "E" appears above the antenna bars in the notification. Also, I ran a speedtest.net and found data was slow: ping 500ms, download 120kbps, upload 105kbps. Spoke to Customer Service, and they told me speed was handset dependent. Does anybody know if I can get better data speeds with Speakout on my Nexus S Android 4.1 ? I'm in the greater Vancouver area.

E or course is slow but that is related to your phone. Your Mobi phone probably doesn't have 850/1900 3G.

Thanks chimpanzee. This is a Google Nexus S. Under the battery it says model GT-i9020T. I discovered that this model does not support anything higher than 2G Too bad. Does anyone know what the highest speed Speakout is delivering on its Data add-on in the greater Vancouver area?

Nothing worked on my Samsung Google Nexus until I did this…
On the "Access Point Names" screen there are 2 menu settings options:
"Add APN" and,
"Reset to Default".
Clicking "Reset to Default" made my previously created (rogers-core-appl1.apn) start working without having to re-enter it. Hope that helps somebody.
The speed is fine (~ 8Mbps).

Wrong… Google Nexus works fine (~8 Mbps in Chilliwack, BC). '3G' or 'H' appears beside the bars.

Ok so after using the 3G data plan for a month, I upgraded my android to a 500 MB value plan just now... So to upgrade to that value plan, I had to deactivate my 100 MB value plan. To my surprise, the problem of disappearing 3G data has come back again. Now I have a 500 MB data with NO internet connection. The 3G icon on my android is GONE as it was the problem before. This is very frustrating.

Speakout seems to have a problem with their system now I can't even connect to the internet. I don't want to reset my android every time I want to friggin change my value plan. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. I'm on customer service hotline but they know nothing about their service. Speakout is stupid.

And please don't tell me trivial stuff like did I turn on the network 3G data on... C'mon... I wouldn't be here if I checked every trivial mistakes... This is something more... Something Speakout is making mistakes at the hands of Rogers

I'll keep in mind the "Reset to Default" trick. I did something else with my Google Nexus.

I changed my old UMB APN to the new published settings and it worked at first, then when I went in airport mode and came back, Internet access would not return. I tried rebooting the phone and a few other things and nothing worked. Eventually, I changed IPv4/IPv6 to IPv4 only and that did it.

If "Reset to Default" doesn't work for you, try this and it might work.
