iPhone X: Mobile data network could not be activated

If you have purchased a new iPhone X and are using it for the first time, you may receive the following error message "Mobile data network could not be activated". The message can also appear after an update. However, the problem can be fixed quickly.

Why can't the mobile data network be activated on iPhone X?

The message "Mobile data network cannot be activated" appears on iPhone X when the device does not have the correct APN settings. APN stands for Access Point Name and specifies the network path through which the mobile connection is established. Actually, this data is sent automatically to the iPhone X by the provider via SMS or MMS. However, sometimes this process does not work and you have to type in the required data yourself. To do so, you first have to research the APN data of your mobile carrier on the web. To do so, enter "APN Telekom" on Google, for example. You will find all the necessary data directly on your provider's website. Der entsprechende Link sollte in den Suchergebnissen von Google ganz oben stehen.

2. Wählen Sie „Allgemein“ und dann „Mobiles Netz“.
3. Tippen Sie auf „Mobiles Datennetzwerk“.
4. Geben Sie die Daten ein und bestätigen Sie mit „OK“.
5. Starten Sie abschließend Ihr iPhone X neu.
