Hi guys, last couple of days I've not been able to connect to mobile data at all at work, I normally have a look at FaceBook and things on my dinner break.

When I try to connect to mobile data, I get the message ''no connection, data roaming is turned off'' - or something to that extent anyway. The signal bars are normally full and there is a little 'R' next to it.

I've tried turning Data Roaming on but nothing happens. I tried turning phoning off and on again but nope, still the same. Although when it first starts back up it says there is no signal before it returns to full with the 'R' next to the signal bars again.

My phone is Sony Xperia Z3 and I am on three network. Hope you can help, thanks.

Sounds like the 3G mast is down and you are connecting to the backup 2G Orange signal.

It is provisioned in such a way that you can only get calls and SMS. Data just doesn't work.

I'm with 3, but have had little to no signal for 3 days now.

Where are you? And what network is shown at the top of your screen in the lock screen?

R means you're roaming. You could be on Orange's 2G service, although I have a Z2 and it never said R when I used to go to Orange.

I've had R before when on the Orange 2g back round Northumbria on my Nexus . Ring Three and ask them what the hell is going on would be my advice.
