My Go 5200 refuses to connect to GPRS, I can see the GPRS model in SETTINGS SYSTEM ABOUT but GPRS is DISCONNECTED and Data connection is shown as NONE when i turn off the WIFI. As a result the traffic and speed cameras are not shown as active in subscriptions. If I turn the WIFI back on then Subscriptions come on and show as active. This is not a bad area issue as I drove 550 miles (for work) and at no point did the GPRS come on. I have reset the device on/off until I am blue in the face. Does anyone have any ideas?

    OK I have found the problem, bad contact on the SIM card. Removed it and cleaned the contacts and it started working. Cheers

    Hi
    @Lost_Pirate
    Welcome to the site....
    Here in the UK all of my various Tomtom Live NAV3 NAV4 & NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices with a Built-in GPRS SIM....
    All work perfectly connecting to Live Traffic without a hitch :)
