No Mobile Data - Samsung Tab A

Tempest

Bought a brand new Samsung Tab A with LTE/4g

Bought a PAYG Data sim from Vodafone.
Fitted the sim into the Tablet, before I 1st ever powered it up, and it seemed to detect everything ok.

I've just tried to actually use Mobile Data for the 1st time, and I seem to have nothing.

I turned off WiFi, and have turned mobile data on, still nothing.
Even went to Vodafone website and followed their guide to make a new connection:

Vodafone APN Settings

Changed to this newly created connection, and still nothing.

I checked and the one already in there (I presume to sim, kinda sets it up) had pretty much identical settings anyway.

Can't think of anything else.

Any ideas?

Walked down the road just in case it was room I was in, but no difference.

When the tablet screen is locked it says "Vodafone UK" at the top left, but when I log in, this text vanishes.

Either it's me, or perhaps something has not been turned on at their end? perhaps?

Ok, all fixed now.

Called Vodafone who told me to take SIM out, power down tablet, wait 5 mins, replace SIM and fire tablet back up again.

They actually said to do this 3 times in a row. But it all started working fine after I did it once.

No idea what the problem was, but works now
