Mobile Data Stopped working

samar_bendary — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 19:28:28 GMT

Hello,

My plan comes with 1 GB data and for some reasons my mobile data is not working even though I still have all the 1 GB data still available to use. I put my SIM card into different phone but it still would not work. Phone calls and everything else seems to work fine.

- My spouse who also has PM account, his data works fine without any issues. Also, when I tried my SIM on his phone, still my data won't work.

- The Data is turned on and I can see the "LTE" Sign on the left top corner but the data won't work!!!

- My Data used to work before. It just stopped working about ~3 weeks ago.

I would appreciate it if you could help me regarding this issue.

Thanks

@samar_bendary Look like your data are all used up

Login to My Account and check if you see a line about data in My Data & Add-ons section, if you don't see a line about data there, it means data are used up. Something like this, except yours would show the data you are entitled to

@samar_bendary

When is your renewal? Are you on the old $35 plan? If so you should schedule a change plan on next renewal to the new $35/3gb plan. Try resetting your network settings to see if your data starts working if it is still showing on your overview page.

@samar_bendary Also, please note that PM is running on 30 days cycle, so, it could be that the cycle date shifted and you are towards the end of a cycle and hence data are all used up?

When you login to My Account, check when was the start date of your current cycle. It will how you the Payment due before date, that is the next cycle start date, 30 days before that would be the beginning of your current cycle

If you are on Android, you can check your Mobile Data usage page. This shows you the data used recorded by your device Simply change the "Start Billing cycle on" date to match your current cycle and you can tell how much data you used and which apps used the data

HI @samar_bendary , since you tried different phones and got the same result, I think it is not APN issue

Are voice calls working? and you have been PM customer for some time? If that is the case, probably not a sim provisioning issue

Check My Account to see if you still have any data left

@samar_bendary Have you checked in your self serve account under my data and add ons section do you see the 1 gig there?

@samar_bendary

Ah I see you are on the $25 plan....ignore my earlier advice on changing plans.

Yes, I can make and receive calls. I also see the "LTE" sign on the top left corner but the data won't work.

Has your data ever worked @samar_bendary ?

Are you ensuring the Data option is turned on in the settings of the phones you are trying your SIM card into?

If the data never worked, are you sure the phones you have are compatible?

What is the model of your phone(s)?

If the phone is compatible, and a Reset of you Network Settings on the device did not work, check the APN settings:

Yes, it was working fine 3 weeks ago. It then stopped working.

Yes, my data is turned "on" and I can see the "LTE" sign on the top left corner but data won't work.

@samar_bendary open a ticket if you have not done so.

Usually it might start working after you put your SIM in another phone (your sim/account will got re-provisioned with that move), but it still working. With both phones not working, likely it is not a device issue. Let's see what PM Support can find out

@samar_bendary - do you know of anyone else in your area/home with a Public Mobile account? Does their data work without issue, I wonder? Thinking if this could also be tower/network related. CSA should be able to rule out any account issues though.

Check for outages in your area:

Good luck and keep us updated because this type of issue is fairly rare as it is usually a provisioning issue or a customer unknowingly using up their available data.
