LG shine cannot access media net, error : connection failed

[avit]

Hi,

Every time I try to get on the internet, but it will not let me, it just keeps saying connection failed. I have an LG Shine on unlimited data / internet plan, but every time I try to connect it says connection failed. But what is surprising about all this, I can still make calls and send regular text messages.

Delete the old account and create the new one and activate it. It is possible MEdia Net may not be correctly provisioned or there could be an outage in your area. If they do not work, then call customer care for further assistance.

Try the follow steps, mentioned in AT&T’s tutorial :

• Access MEdia Net
  
  
• From the standby screen, select Menu.
  
  
• Scroll to and select MEdia Net.
  
  
• Select MEdia Net Home.
  
  
• The "MEdia Net" homepage will display.
  
  
• Exit Media
