Hi @abraham, did u install the profile generated by unlockit.co.nz? A lot of people just click the website without actually install the profile into the iphone.

Hey there!

I recently joined Public Mobile, and I bought the brand new iPhone 6S Plus.

My data was also not working.

You have to go into your data settings, and change the APN yourself to have it work with the network.

Here's a link for you to try: http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/iPhone-Update-and-APN-settings/m-p/1610#M41

Feel free to come back if you're still having problems.

Odd that iPhone doesn't automatically get the settings from the SIM card. I don't believe I've ever had to much with the APN settings on my Android phone, it just seems to pick up the right APN info whenever I change SIM cards (Telus -> Roam Mobility, Roam Mobility -> Telus, Telus -> PM, so far)

Hi,

Perhaps I misunderstood your post, but a brand-new PM SIM card does not have any APN embedded in it.

Hi @Martin. Hmm, weird. Maybe the APN settings get detected from the network, then. In any event, my point was that Android seems to automatically pick up the right APN settings for the network (from whatever source?) without needing to manually input or tweak the APN settings, and I was surprised the iOS/iPhone doesn't do the same. Sorry for any confusion!

Hi,

No worries about the confusion!

I think of a SIM card as the keystone in an arch. On one side is the network, and, on the other, the phone. When the keystone is inserted, the arch is complete and the network-phone connection becomes functional. In effect, the keystone is the notifier of the network of what the phone's APN are. If they are correct, one has service. If incorrect, there's no service.

Food for thought.

Hi @srlawren,

It may also depends on which carrier your phone was locked to in the past, and also the rom. Many Android phones, including mine, did not automatically pick up the correct APN. One of my android phones downloaded telus APN automatically.. and I had to manually set the correct APN.

@imm1304 this phone has never been carrier-locked, it's an unlocked "developer edition" first gen Moto X (xt1053) ordered from e-bay. I guess I've just been lucky!

Hi All, I have both Android and Iphone, and most phones I need to setup APN. I recall one Android phone has the correct default APN setup, and iphone after IOS 9.0.2 will download the updated carrier setting.

Hi @vrance,

If you're seeking the Android with the default
APN, it's any generation of the Moto G. Quite possibly, other Androids have the default settings, but I wish to speak from personal experience: I have 2 2013 Moto G phones, and 1 2015 Moto G unit.

FYI.
