Anyone else having a problem using Vodafone's mobile internet
connection? My phone can make and received calls and text, but not data.
It can do it through wi-fi, so it looks like the mobile connection is down.

Trying to report the problem using my laptop and broadband connection
via the Vodafone website works but then fails at the final stage with a gateway timeout between cloudflare.com and www.vodafone.co.uk. But then
how did I connect to the network status checker at www.vodafone.co.uk in
the first place?

My VF data works fine. Just run a speed test over it.

I just tried Speed Test (HighSpeedInternet.com):

Error
Test failed due to error. Kindly retry later.

The video test gives the same error.

I tried setting up a new APN in case something had happened to the old
one but that didn't make any difference. Nor did a power down and reboot.

It says it is up here. Maybe it is cookies? I used to have problems with vodafone's cookies. I usually got in using a new private browsing
window.

And failed again after turning on/off airplane mode around lunchtime.
Nothing I could do would get it working again.

This morning a tech in the Vodafone shop got it going again, and showed
me what to do (it was what I had done!...), but on returning home it
failed again. I removed the SIM and cleaned the contacts, but without
success. Next time I'm in the area I'll go into the Vodafone shop and
see if a replacement SIM might help.

If your phone can handle one, perhaps an eSIM might prove more reliable.
