Next, you should make sure that your mobile operator also works with this type of wireless networks in your area (sometimes towers are not installed throughout your entire area). It will also not be possible to establish a connection if it does not work with this format. If everything is in order, then there will be no problems.
So, to connect to the 4G network, your smartphone must support this type of connection, and your mobile operator must also have necessary equipment in your area. If everything is in order, then you can proceed to actually connecting to the network of the new format.

Why doesn't mobile internet work on Android?
The first thing you need to do if mobile Internet does not turn on on Android is to make sure that data transfer is enabled in the settings.
- Open settings, go to “Connections” or “Network connections”.
- Go to the "Data Usage" menu.
- Turn on mobile traffic.
You can also enable mobile Internet on Android using the quick menu. Swipe down with two fingers from the top edge of the screen and a full menu will open with buttons for quickly enabling smartphone functions.
Increase The next step is checking your balance personal account. If your phone has two SIM cards, you need to look in the settings to see which one is used to connect to the mobile Internet, and make sure that the appropriate service package is connected to it.
Another reason why the mobile Internet does not work may be incorrect registration of the phone on the network. To fix the problem, just reboot the device. If this does not help, then check the APN point data by comparing it with information from the operator’s official website. Typically, APN data comes in a configuration message when a SIM card is installed for the first time, but it happens that the user does not save them, or they get lost while using the system.
- Go to the operator’s website - MTS, Tele2, Beeline, Megafon or your regional network.
- Find Internet settings for Android in the help section.
- Open your phone settings. You need the "Mobile networks" section.
- Go to the “Access Points” subsection.
- Change the current point or create a new one using data from the operator’s website.
- Reboot your device.
Manually setting APN also helps when the Internet does not work in some applications. If this does not help, we can advise you to reset the network settings - the latest versions of Android have such a function.
Increase One more possible reason complete absence of mobile Internet - lack of network coverage. If the “LTE/4G” mode is selected in the Android settings, and the device is located in the coverage area of only the 3G network, then you will not be able to access the Internet. What to do in this situation:
- Open settings, go to the "Connections" section.
- Go to mobile network settings.
- Open "Network Mode" and set it to automatically switch between LTE, 3G and 2G.
Increase If the Internet still does not work in this mode, select a specific value - 3G or 2G. If you are in an area where the operator has no coverage at all, then no change in mode will help. This often happens on the road between cities - not only the Internet stops working, but also calls from SMS.
There is a small chance that problems with Internet access are related to maintenance work or a failure on the operator’s side. To rule out this possibility, call your provider and find out why your mobile Internet is not working.
Automatic activation of mobile Internet
Another problem with mobile Internet - automatic connection and writing off money or traffic depending on the tariff. This usually happens because some application requires and uses it without your knowledge. It is very easy to calculate:
- Open the Connections section in Settings.
- Go to the Data Usage menu.
- See which app spent the most traffic.
To prevent traffic from being wasted without your knowledge, turn off your mobile Internet. This can be done in the same “Data Usage” section or in the quick curtain Android settings.
Increase You should also check your Play Market settings. If included automatic update applications with any connection, the phone will waste mobile traffic without asking permission.
