Can't connect to 3G and 4G

I bought a sim card with 800mb per month. But I can't seem to get the data enabled. I'm using android bought from Japan, do I need to set up an access point name?

Others are doing fine with their phone amd data. Not sure what's wrong with my phone.

Who was your carrier in Japan? (if you had a carrier at all?)

The following is the problem:

 

- China Unicom uses W-CDMA as a 3G standard

- China Telecom uses CDMA2000 as a 3G standard

- China Mobile uses TD-SCDMA as a 3G standard (but we can forget it as basically no phones outside China come with this).

 

A rule of thumb is, that Unicom's W-CDMA goes well with all European, US AT&T and Japanese NTT carriers' phones, while CDMA2000 goes weill with US Verizon, Sprint and Japanese KDDI carriers' phones.

 

Do you have a friend who has a China Telecom SIM card that you can try? If you can connect to 3G on that SIM, it would mean that your phone uses CDMA2000 as a standard, and you should change your carrier to China Telecom.
