Answer

First, make sure that your phone is not in airplane mode and that mobile data is turned on.

• If it's still not working, try restarting your phone; sometimes that can help re-establish the connection.

• If the problem persists, head to the nearest store of your SIM provider. The staff there are usually quite helpful and can troubleshoot the issue on-site.

• It's also a good idea to check if your plan has expired or if you've run out of data, which can happen unexpectedly.

Allow extra time for traffic and weather. Confirm the specific service on the day, agree prices or use an app where practical, and keep screenshots of bookings and pickup details.
