Fix your mobile network

Fix your mobile network settings

- If you are experiencing unstable connections while using mobile data, it might be due to having both SIM card slots occupied.
- If you are not actively using the second SIM card for mobile data, consider either removing it physically from the device or disabling it through the device’s settings.
- Ensure that the SIM card you are using for mobile data is inserted into slot 1, as some devices prioritize the first slot for mobile data connections.
