@Mr500

do one thing Make sure your phone is off before removing your SIM card,

and take your SIM card out and waiting for a 2 minute and put it back and turn on -This one is quick and simple.

what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

or can you do try reseat the SIM card

1. power off your device

2. take out the SIM card,

3. wipe it clean SIM card,

4. put it back and power on,

5. toggling airplane mode off/on,

and do again Rebooting your phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

@Mr500 phone calls work fine??

its your APN... did you just changed phone? what brand and model is your phone??

did you try network reset?

I understand it has been 2 months.. but did you login to My Account and confirm from the overview page that you still have data left for this month and they are not all used up for the current cycle??

Hi,

Checked APN, there is a acclaimation besides sp.mb.com , all others part are greyed out with 'Not set' ( for proxy, port, etc.). Actually in June I got warning sayd data usage reached 100% and no data since then. Can you confirm my data is not blocked on backend? Thanks.

@Mr500

Can you log into self service and look under My Data & Add-Ons. Does it show a data line there?

Re: Data doesn't work for over 2 months

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 21:49:45 GMT

@Mr500: Which make/model/submodel and OS/version is the phone?

Did data ever work here? Do you have a data limiter set on your phone?

Re: Data doesn't work for over 2 months

softech — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 21:54:18 GMT

@Mr500 once a new cycle starts, everything reset and you should get data again.

you didn't change phone after June by any chance?

did you try network reset?

any chance you have a second phone you can put thr PM SIM there to test?

also, what did is the brand and model of the phone?

Re: Data doesn't work for over 2 months

Mr500 — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 01:12:13 GMT

Phone is same old one all the time, Huawei pro30.

Voice phone call is fine. Only data doesn't work after 100% usage warning in June. I have autoplay plan.

Tired network reset, phone reboot.

Mr500 — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 01:51:25 GMT

Just take out sim card and insert again, restart phone, still same issue. don't think phone has problem as wifi works perfect.

Re: Data doesn't work for over 2 months

softech — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 01:59:01 GMT

@Mr500

not sure why there is an exclamation mark beside sp.mb.com.. that doesn't look right

make sure you have the latest update

then try a Factory Reset.

yes this is a tough one, make sure you backup everything first before Factory reset. You will have to re-setup your phone after.

Hi,

I just took out SIM card and reinsert. Data still not working. Tried to surf on browser, phone tried to talk to Public Mobile, but got msg says "You are unable to access the web because of one of the following reasons:" ( I put the msg below with my comments)

1. you have exhausted the data plan. --- NOT APPLIED as I have auto-pay plan with 3G monthly

2. your data plan has expired. -- NOT APPLIED. Same as above

3. you are roaming. -- NOT APPLIED. I am in home city

4. your phone has been reported lost or stolen. -- NOT APPLIED.

5. your account has been suspended due to fraudulent activity. -- Fraud? NO. Suspended? MAYBE!!!

Looked like as I suspected, my account may get locked last time after 100% usage warning in June as said by your msg saying. Please check on this!

@Mr500

Try what @softech suggested and put your sim in another unlocked phone. How much data does it say in self service that you have…look under My Data & Add-Ons.

Did you see my note? My phone talked with public mobile successfully, but data usage is limited by Public Mobile with given message, which I have commented above. SIM card doesn't have problem. If SIM has problem, phone/text would not work as well as the error msge will not be getting from Public Mobile. Can you check on my account? I have 3G monthly and nothing is used at all for two months!

@Mr500

You are posting on the Community where we are all Public Mobile customers just like you.

We do not have access to your account.

I may not be caught up on this post yet...but can you see your Data line listed on your Self Serve account under this section?

If so, than Data should be available to you and it may be a phone setting issue.

Please advise if you see the data line above.

IF you do not see the data line above, it is either used up OR, it sounds like your data may never got reset from months ago? IF this is the case, submit a ticket with Public Mobile Representatives, called CSA.

To contact the Public Mobile Customer Support Agent (CSA)_Team, there are two methods to reach them:

1 - Faster - Click the bubble comment circle on the bottom right-hand side of your screen,

@Mr500

We are customers here so we cannot check your account which is why I am asking you to look under My Data & Add-Ons in self service and tell us what it says there. If you put your sim in another unlocked phone and the data works then most likely it is not an account problem, but a problem with your current phone.
