I have a OPPO A73. I have just recently joined and activated my sim a couple days ago. My data still doesnt seem to be working. I am on the $40 plan with 4.5gb, have checked my account and it shows that all data is there availble and none has been used. I think ive enetered the right APN details. Yes mobile data is on, on phone.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Silly me, just had a couple letters missing in the APN details. Cheers for the link.

@RobertQc that's not what I'm seeing on gsmarena:

Looks to have the required 850MHz + 1900MHz 3G

@srlawrenI think GSM arena made a mistake or they don't have a listing for each variant, it says the F5 youth in china is also known as the A73 .. while they are similar they are not the same based on the manufacture has completey separate pages for the A73 and F5 and F5 youth with different specs and some different hardware.

There is so much conflicting info maybe thats why willmyphonework.net won't even have a listing for any of these lol?

I am assuming the OP has the A73 (because thats what he said) which is was what I selected, not the A73T, not the A73S and not any of the F5 Youth, or F5 variants.

I did not say the phone would not work in my original post, I just said that it was missing a lot of the different frequencies. You are right, it does have 850/1900 3G those frequencies but not all of them and missing most of LTE.. I may be wrong but I was under the impression having "some" frequencies mean it will work in some places, but if it does not have all of them phone will not connect everywhere depending on the location and what kind of tower is nearby
