hi. I recently purchased a galaxy tab 16 GB 3g wi fi model in the middle east. It works perfectly fine over there but somehow isnt able to connect to any network here either with the original sim or any indian sim card. I have tried airtel, vodafone sims which are 3g enabled but have come up with the same reply. I even tried resetting the tab but that didnt solvethe problem. I’m sure it not a locked tab since such tabs arent sold in the middle east. Kindly help.
I am using galaxy tab and have got airtel 3g enabled sim.
I am able to use internet at a good speed but not able to use mobile AP service with airtel 3g sim though I was able to use it with BSNL sim on the same handset.
In the icon I can see only W icon instead of 3G though I did all the settings as mentioned by you i.e. –
Tap Wireless and network
Tap Mobile networks
Tap Network mode
Tap WCDMA to turn on 3G

Hi, I’m new with my Galaxy tab as well. Yesterday I was trying to use Internet with the 3G connection but it kept on using the WLAN connection. The WLAN that was available was so slow that I would’ve wanted to use the 3G instead.. How can i switch on to 3G even though there´s a WLAN available..
i have recently upgraded my SIM to 3G and i am using samsung galaxy s. the service remains the same – no MMS, Video call…
when i put my SIM on another phone, 3G network is visibly shown on the task bar, not when i usend my galaxy. please help if i have to turn on something somewhere. thanks

You should contact o2 customer care. May be you need to submit few documents to get SIM activated.
