The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R are the latest flagship phones from the Chinese-based company. Both the phones come with Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 update, which is the same as ColorOS 15 offered by Oppo. While everything works great on the phone, many users have reported network issues on their OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R devices.

The network issue might vary depending on the region and the carrier youโ€™re using. While most users donโ€™t encounter any problems with their network, many users have reported that the network issue is affecting their call and internet experience.

How to Fix OnePlus 13 Network Issues

Itโ€™s frustrating when the main function of the mobile phone doesnโ€™t work as expected. If youโ€™re experiencing issues with the network on your OnePlus 13 or 13R, weโ€™ve listed some potential fixes below. Letโ€™s start troubleshooting.

Restart your Phone

This is a basic troubleshooting method for almost every problem in any device. Some of you might have already tried it, but if not, you should restart your OnePlus phone. Then, check for the network to ensure itโ€™s working properly or if the problem persists.

You can restart your phone using the physical power button or by selecting the restart option from the quick settings menu.

Turn on and off Airplane Mode

Hereโ€™s another basic solution to the OnePlus 13 network issue that works multiple times. Iโ€™m talking about turning on and off Airplane mode. Airplane mode temporarily turns off the network on the device, which removes basic issues that interfere with your deviceโ€™s network connection.

To enable Airplane mode, swipe down to open Quick Settings. Then, look for the flight icon and tap on it to enable Airplane mode which will turn off networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Now wait for a minute and then turn off the Airplane mode to enable the network.

Once the Network is settled, check if everything is working as expected or if the issue still persists.

Reinsert the SIM card

If you are using a physical SIM, you can also try this old method. This has helped many users since the days when we had to remove the battery and then the SIM. Although this troubleshoot still works, itโ€™s less likely to be successful in the present day. But, itโ€™s worth giving it a try.

Using a SIM ejector, remove the SIM tray and wait for some time. If the SIM slot supports dual SIMs, try swapping the SIMs to test. Now insert the SIM tray and wait for the Network to stabilize. After that, check the network.

Reset Network Settings

If youโ€™re still facing the same network issue, you can reset the Network settings. This is different from a device reset, so it wonโ€™t delete any data from your device. Instead, it will simply reset your network settings to default.

  1. Open Settings on your OnePlus phone.
  2. Scroll down and open System & update followed by Back up & reset.
  3. Now choose Reset Phone and then select Reset network and bluetooth settings.
  4. Confirm the selection and wait.
  5. After reset, the network issue will be fixed.

So these are the main troubleshooting methods to fix any network issues on the OnePlus 13 or 13R. There are a few other options like resetting the APN (access points), and clearing the SIM Toolkit app data.

I hope this guide helped you fix network issues on your OnePlus 13 phone. If it was helpful, please share it with your friends and family. If you have any questions, feel free to let us know in the comments.
