Just joined - 3G not working

k_robs — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 05:31:26 GMT

Hi all

Hope you can help! I just joined Public Mobile, I have the plan with 4.5MB data, put my new SIM in my unlocked UK iPhone this evening and whilst it has the 3G/LTE logo at the top the data isn't working - when I load any apps/email they say the phone isn't connected to the internet.

Can anyone advise what to do?

Many thanks!

Katie

@k_robs

I think you need to configure your phone's APN settings.

Try the website link below, select the exact model of your iPhone, and follow the instructions.

Once the phone APN settings are set up, your phone should be able to connect to the Public Mobile network.

Good luck!

Hi @Lg85 thanks for your message! I have tried this and I don't know if it is because my phone is from the UK but I don't have all those options... In Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options > Mobile Data Network I have changed the APN from isp.mb.com to sp.mb.com but none of these other options seem available to me, I can't find anywhere where I can make these changes and that change to the APN alone hasn't helped! Any ideas?!

@k_robs

What is the model of your iPhone?

@k_robs

Here is some additional information from the knowledge base. Not sure whether you tried the following:

Some models of iPhones do not allow you to manually update your APNs. If this is your case, using your mobile phone, visit co.nz. This will automatically download the required APNs in your phone settings.

Let us know whether this works. Maybe re-boot phone afterwards...
