Surely it has happened to you! You arrive at your vacation destination, get off the plane and suddenly the name of your mobile network disappears from your screen. A network fight is coming but… what network has your device connected to? No trace of the name.
Don’t worry, at we help you search for it! To keep it simple, the way we like it, let’s go in parts.
The first…
What mobile network settings are available?
The answer to this question is one of the many things found in the ‘Settings’ of your mobile phone. Once there, look for the “mobile data” section where you can see all the options that you can change in the settings of your device:
- First of all, you can disable mobile data if you are using Wi-Fi but you must have it activated when you want to use your gigs.
- Roaming: Activate it to allow your mobile to send data through other operators’ networks when you leave your company’s coverage area.
- Preferred network type: choose between 2G, 3G or 4G. The more you have, the better!
- Grid: Select your operator from the available networks or activate the ‘automatic’ option so that your own mobile phone is in charge of connecting to the best one.
- Access point names: Customize your network name to connect more securely.
And now, yes:
What mobile network am I connected to?
From the same ‘Settings’ where you are, look for the section ‘About device’ (or a similar name, since it will depend on the mobile you have) and then click on ‘State’. In the box ‘grid’ It will tell you the company to which your mobile phone is currently connected, regardless of whether or not it is the operator you have contracted.
And that’s it: you’ve got it! Easy, right? Now all you have to do is enjoy your trip. When you get back, you will decide if you want it to say ” when you unlock your phone and not just something specific. If so… hire any of them! and take advantage because until September 15 we are giving away nothing more and nothing less than 60 gigabytes free!
