Have you rebooted?

Restarting your smartphone can fix many minor software problems. Therefore, perform a restart and then wait until the mobile phone has established a connection.

Are you in a dead spot?

If the connection is still not established after a restart, you may find yourself in a dead zone. If possible, go a few meters and double-check your connection..

Is there a problem with the provider?
