in other cases, check your connection settings. (APN, proxy, port) unfortunately, some SIM cards does not have internet connections built in, so you need to manually set it up.

EDIT: better download fapn app first.
I think the built in settings are wrong for the prepaid Globe SIM cards. The way I fixed this was by automatically getting the settings from Globe by messaging GO N900,,1234 to the number 2951 and writing down the settings I received. Of course since they send you a choice of three settings myGlobe CONNECT, myGlobe Gaming, and myGlobe INET, you have use fapn to create more connections because it overwrites the previous ones.
The settings are:
myGlobe INET
Access point name: http.globe.com.ph
User name: leave blank
Password: leave blank
uncheck prompt password if checked
Under the advanced settings uncheck the use proxy box if checked.
Check Auto-retrieve IP address and auto-retrieve DNS.

The gaming setting is the same except that the APN is: game.globe.com.ph

The myGlobe CONNECT uses a proxy and has settings for it so I would just use the auto setup from the SMS and just type in the settings for the others. However, you do need to delete the user name and password because they say NONE rather than just being blank.

Actually, the best one is the INET connection since the CONNECT only lets you browse the web.
