How do I set up data on Iphone 6?

Canmesa — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 12:24:02 GMT

I am new to Public Mobile, activated my phone today. I have an IPhone 6 and was assigned a new number by PM. I have activated my account but am having trouble setting up data on my Iphone 6. When I go to cellular data network my only options are for personal hotspot. Not sure what else to try. Any suggestions? Thanks

@Canmesa usually after you get set up and restart your phone it should work on an iPhone, try restarting again to see

Slide the Cellular Data Switch to the right.

I have tried that to no avail. Cellular data is on. I've tried with roaming on and off. Doesn't make any difference. Still only shows personal hotspot under cellular data network.

@CanmesaHave you tried Safari and just open a website? iPhone doesn't need much configuration for data like Android.

Thanks, that seems to work. I was able to connect on safari with wifi off.

@88cranston Sounds like you're an apple guy. While @CalgaryBen seems to be the foremost authority on apple especially for the nitty gritty its nice to know there is someone else to call on along with @GinYVR . Going to be helping my neighbour activate his account this weekend. Hes not even sure what Iphone he has....might be a 4? I'll definitely be needing a brain to pick on this one....its got to be easy for his transition. He's a grumpy at times 75 year old greenpeacer that just wants to pay for a year and be done with it. Just needs his phone in case he has to fight off a bear to keep his salmon when he's fishing the skeena.

*Yes. But only for the past 5 years have gone solid Apple everything. You will never get me back to Microsoft Windows ☹️

*While I have Cranston in my ID, I no longer live in Calgary. I wish @CalgaryBen would look at my post in regards to texting from an SE!!

*I have had a couple of 4s and only if Apple iOS was current on a 4S I would still have. A 4S was a great phone but found the 4 to have a soft home button. The easiest way to tell is a 4S has Siri and a 4 does not. Also do an imei check. Imei can be found in settings>about and also on back side of sim tray. Settings>about is the BEST check. A 4 or 4S can likely be carrier locked though. I can help with that, if it is. Settings>about will tell iPhone model too and what carrier it was on....and of course if the old sim is in it is helpful too.
