For the last two days, I've been having a problem with connecting to the Internet from my C3 - I can't connect at all.

I always get the "Link not available, try again" and "Service not available" and "Packet data authentication failed" messages on all my browsers. I'm nowhere close to WiFi or WLAN networks, so I have to use the Internet settings via my mobile provider.

I have restarted it, formatted the phone via 'restore factory settings', but none of those options helped. I can't update the software on my phone...because my Internet is not working.

I've read a lot of forum discussions on this problem with C3 - is it that the phone is doomed to go down this route eventually, one way or another?

If anyone knows what I can do to restore my online life, please help me.

did you try using the phone with other sim? are other users of the same network in your area also facing the same problem? pls check this aspect too.

Thanks, ng85. Everyone I've asked that uses the same mobile provider I'm on doesn't have a problem.

I've just switched SIMs with my sister, and the phone's now behaving....I can't believe that this is what it has come to, just to browse the Internet.

Thanks so much for your help!
