Mobile data not working

bujee321 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 18:24:54 GMT

I put my public mobile sim card into a ASUS zenphone 3 laser and the calling function works fine, but I have no access to the mobile internet function.

It's likely you don't have the correct APN settings on your phone. Follow this thread on how to set the APN.

I can't even figure out how to ask this question, so finally I'm replying to this message. Hopefully someone who can help sees this. I switched before Christmas. Had data. Data stopped working. Followed the APN instructions. Data worked again...and now it doesn't...again.

@almaggi71

Fist, sign into your self-serve account and verify that you haven't used all of your data. If you haven't, it will show on the Overview page when you first sign in, in the My Add-ins section. It should show something like "531.958 / 12288 MB", which is what mine currently shows. This means I've used about a half gig out of my available 12 GB for this plan cycle. If you've used it all up, this info will be missing from My Add-ins.

Second, what is the brand and model of your phone? What version of operating system (Android Android 5.1, 6.0.1, Android 7, etc or iOS 9, iOS10.2, etc).

Thanks for responding. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5 neo. Android 6.0.1. I have a plan with 12 gigs of data for 90 days and I've only used about 1/10 of it. Somebody else told me to blank out the APN and do it again from scratch. I'm going to try that. Wish me luck...

Redid the APN settings and took out the battery. Something worked! I have data! Thanks. Hope this is the last of this problem. Cheers.

Hi,

My mobile data is not working since a month. Please help

Re: Mobile data not working

srlawren — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 00:56:34 GMT

@jaspreetkaurt sorry to hear that. I see that @Mary_M asked you back in February to send her your phone number via private message: http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/Unable-to-use-mobile-data/m-p/139938/highlight/true#M45219. Have you done that? Did you get any help at the time?

Other than that, could you please give us some more info such as.....

1) Log into self-serve. What does your plan details show?

2) In the My Add-ons area of the Overview page (when you frist log into self-serve), do you see a Data add-on or not?

3) What kind of phone are you using? Please provide as specific of a model number as possible

4) Did you have any changes around the time the data stopped working? For example, an Android or iOS system update maybe?

5) Have you verified your APN settings?

6) Have you rebooted your phone anytime recently? If not, please do so and let us know if that makes any change.

7) Are you sure you have mobile data enabled on the phone? It's fairly easy to turn it off by accident and not notice--I've done this a few times.
