Samsung GALAXY S4 - Trouble browsing the Web

Ensure you have a Web feature

Make sure that you have a Web feature included with your rate plan. Log in to your TELUS account to check your current rate plan and services.

Check signal strength

Your present location may have weak network coverage.

1. Make sure you have at least two bars of signal strength with 4G or LTE in the network indicator.
2. If you have low signal strength, move to a location with better coverage. Concrete and steel buildings may be hindering reception, especially in elevators and underground locations like basements, subways, and tunnels

Check the Web address

You may have entered an invalid Web address (URL).

• Make sure the Web address is correct.
• Try another Web address such as www.google.ca. If you can browse other Websites, your data connection is not the problem.

Check our network maps to be sure that you’re in an area with coverage.

• Check our coverage maps at Coverage & travelling.
