Error: No data service plan
 

A few days ago I began receiving an error message saying that it cannot activate a data network. Have any of you experienced this? I would like to be able to fix it without restoring my computer

Thanks,

Matt

Depends on which area you are in. I was having the same problem the other day, and when I called AT&T to find out what was going on (calls and text worked), automated message stated that there were problems in the are with hitting the net from the phones. By mid-day it was working.
If you are still having that problem, it's probably not that.
Have you done anything recently?

I thought that i may have messed up a setting when I tried to enable tethering, but i reinstalled the legit network update from apple, and reset the network settings and it still doesnt work. My suite-mate has an iphone and his works fine.

hhhmmm
When I get home I will go through some sites I have saved in the bookmarks on my home computer and see what I can find for you.

thanks :)

I was not able to find anything, but I am still looking for you. Just wanted to let you know I did not forget or anything

Re: Error: No data service plan
 

Thank you. I am most likely going to restore it. I have spent quite a while looking for another way (while i should have been working)

Other than trying to power off phone for a few moments and power it back (which I am sure you tried already)...or resetting the network setting (which I am pretty sure you had done already also)....it looks like you may have to do a complete restore.
Take a look at some steps I posted in this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=95061, to ensure you don't loose ANY information/data at all from the phone :)

Thank you. I believe this will be my project for tomorrow night. Until then, calc homework

Re: Error: No data service plan
 

Unfortunately that's the route it looks like you will have.

After completely restoring my phone it still is not fixed. I have been on the phone with both apple and att. att finally admitted it was a problem on their end that involves the IMEI number. I am currently still on hold with att.

Will update later,

Matt

Problem solved. after hours of talking to apple and att i walked into the att store and he fixed it. He saw that i had attempted to enable tethering....and that was causing the problem. It didnt bother him i just told him that i did not jailbreak....and he reset the settings...after giving me a new sim card among a plethora of other things

glad you got it fixed.
Which method did you use to try and enable tethering?

Re: Error: No data service plan
 

I used benm which worked for me last time. Something may have happened with my oh so reliable internet connection while it was installing it. I also tried to use two apps from cydia, pda net and one other that i cannot remember.

ah. Well glad all is working for you now.
