since I changed plans tocanada /us/Mexico 5G about two weeks ago. My Internet is not working, my Google Maps isn’t working, Messages and SMS aren’t coming in until the next day
I checked my plan is active, restarted the phone, switched iMessage off and on

yes it is Nord VPN and an iPhone 13 max pro . I’m travelling for the next two weeks but will certainly try this out when I’m home. Thank you so much

@AnnSimons1 

do you use Nord VPN and you have an iPhone?

if so, the issue is mainly when NordVPN is turned on, then it is neither an incompatibility issue nor a Public Mobile problem.    There seams to be an issue with NordVPN as it is hardcoded to use with IPv6 which PM is not using.  But thanks to Community member @victorzhao , there is a trick to force NordVPN to use IPv4 back

Ref: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/VPN-not-working-with-PM-cellular-data/m-p...

  1. On PC, download iMazing Profile Editor from the Microsoft App Store and launch

  2. On the left hand pane, select Cellular, press the "+ Payload" button on the main pane.
  3. For Data APN, click + at the bottom of the grid.  Fill in the "Data APN" column with "isp.mb.com".  Leave the rest of the table as is
  4. fill in only the following:
    Default APN name isp.mb.com
    Default APN supported IP versions IPv4 only.
  5. Optional step: on the left hand pane, under General, update:
    Payload Display Name: public_mobile_disable_ipv6
    Payload Description: Set APN to isp.mb.com and IPv4 only
    Target Device Type: iPhone/iPod/iPod Touch
  6. Next, press File -> Edit -> Save As and name the file "public_mobile_disable_ipv6.mobileconfig".
    Leave the "Sign profile with" as Do Not Sign
  7. Transfer this file to your iPhone
    (one way is to uploaded to OneDrive and downloaded it using the OneDrive app into Phone's Downloads folder.
  8. Open the file on iPhone 
  9. On the iPhone, go to Settings -> General -> VPN & Device Management, and click on the new configuration profile to Install it. 
  10. Check using any "What's my IP" site to confirm only IPv4 is showing and not IPv6.  With this new VPN profile setup,  NordVPN should now be working on IPv4 only

It was my VPN. When it is off, the data plan works.  I still don’t know if there’s a way to use the VPN when travelling for extra security. I would like that

it is not unusual that data might not work after a plan change.

But  try Reset Network Settings after a device reboot
