Hi @Gary12_james
Looks like the unit has not completed its setup completely so @VikramK or @lampard should pick this up on Monday when they are back on the forum. They can review the settings for your unit on the TT servers and amend as appropriate. Look back then to see what they have to say.

Couple of workmates have this 6250 and think it's absolutely great, they talked me into buying one, but for a week I've had no live info sent to it, so not getting rerouted around road closures and accidents, realy frustrating spending all this money on something that don't do its job, I've done factory reset twice, turned my phone off and back on, although it says my LIVE subscription is active it says "Traffic. Service Unavailable, if I click on that it says" we are having trouble accessing TomTom services, please try later...0

Hi @Gary12_james
have a look at the information in the following link . your unit is covered by the first list although it is not mentioned.
https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360014530220-TomTom-Traffic-or-LIVE-Services-isn-t-working
On your phone have you got Personal Hotspot (iPhone) or Bluetooth tethering (Android ) turned on. whenever you are connected to the Device. If you have an iPhone using IOS13 or later then there is no point in involving the MyDrive App during pairing.

Hi
@Gary12_james
Welcome to the site....
Are you at home with your GO 6250 Pro connected to a USB port for a power supply + MyDrive connect running on your PC ???
Check... Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> System --> About....
Scroll down to Data Connection... What data connection does the device Report ???
If the Data Connection is USB.... The USB connection will take priority over the GPRS SIM....
Try disconnecting the USB lead....
I find that you Must register the NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices using Wi-Fi....Gary12_james wrote: »(Snip) It says "Traffic.... Service Unavailable, if I click on that it says" we are having trouble accessing TomTom services, please try later...
If you try to register the device over USB... You get the error message that you mention in your post....

Hi there Gary12_james -
GO Professional 6250
Professional sat nav designed for large vehicles.
Updates via Wi-Fi®
Custom truck, coach, van and car routing
Incl. World Map Updates
Traffic and Speed Camera Alerts via built-in SIM
Dedicated truck, van and bus POIs
As you have been without traffic services for over a week now whilst using the device out on the road, it appears that the built-in SIM has not yet been activated since you registered on the TomTom servers.
Douglap has advised to wait until Monday which will hopefully resolve your issue.

Hi @Gary12_james
Welcome to the community! The device shows active services for the regional countries Australia and New Zealand.
The device comes with World maps but the services are regional specific only.
If the device was purchased in Europe then please get in touch with our customer service.
They might need some additional information before making changes to the account.

Hi @Gary12_james have you looked at the tmc receiver, here is a link to one I found on Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-TomTom-Traffic-Receiver-Car-Charger-Micro-USB-Start-Via-RDS-TMC-4UUC5B/333900934316?hash=item4dbe0becac:g:1dUAAOSwyTZUVyqv , I use this with my Premium X in place of the standard power cable0

I have purchased a TomTom Go Proffesional 6. I keep getting TomTom Services unavailable. I have gone though all of the troubleshooting steps but still have no Live Traffic (device shows Traffic and Speed Cameras active). Additionally, now after a Hard Reset, I cannot connect to My Connect (this was ok prior).
Can someone help before I put this back in the box and request an RMA.1 -
Vikram,
Many thanks Obi-Wan, you have restored my faith in the Force.

ISSUE FIXED -
Amazing, turned it on this morning and as if by magic, all my live updates were back and functioning like they should be. Thank you so much guys, i spent nearly all day on sunday trying to understand what "I had done wrong or set up wrongly" .... Amazon tech should point callers directly to your forum as it would save them about 6 hours of unnecassary conversation that goes absolutley no where.....what a fantastic service you have provided me. Have a great week.
Kindest regards
