Has anyone had issues with Public where there is an(!) beside cellular data bars & messages are not sending properly and group messages after not being received or sent?

I have always had no issues with this until recently. Help🙏

hi @AngA 

An exclamation mark next to the signal bars means the phone is connected to the tower but has no internet access

first, check any outage in the area:
https://www.telus.com/en/on/outages

you can then Reboot your phone and click Reset network settings

if same, try changing the network mode from Automatic, try both 5G and LTE 

if still get the same issue, and you are using physical sim, test on another phone.  If it works without problem, you should be able to move the sim card back to your phone and it should work

last, ask PM support agent to reprovision the sim for you
