    MSF is spot on re his advice re the APN.

    How old is your "old nokia" ? Depending on its age, it could be an old 2G phone, so wouldnt connect to Three / Smarty cell towers. Worth reading its manual to see if its compatible with Three / Smarty.

    RickOsb_2110518 My first thoughts are that the settings may not be correct in the other devices.

    Any chance that the Nokia is not set to 'auto select network'? The router would possibly also need the settings changed for this network.

        Hello RickOsb_2110518  Confession Numero uno - I'm not an expert on routers (or probably on anything much for that matter!!).

         

        for the Nokia, please see:  https://help.smarty.co.uk/en/articles/6277060-nokia-apn-settings

        For mobile data on a phone, the APN needs to be set to mob.asm.net, so I am guessing it's the same for the router

        I hope this is helpful.
