Just echoing comments by other users. Here in NS - both my husband and I experiencing frequent disconnection from network, have to restart phone. What’s going on? Started yesterday.

There is an active service issue on PM side

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Megathread-Public-Mobile-Data-Issues/td-p...

But it might help to Reboot the phone and Reset network settings.

If still cannot connect, try changing network mode to 4G or LTE and reboot phone once more

If you check rhe community messages, LOTS of people having this issue unfortunately. They are aware and working on a fix.

In the meantime toggle on airplane mode and restart.

Hello,  Is the data component not working? I am finding that this service is declining in quality. It is hard to get any help.  Please let me know what is going on so I can at least decide if its time to switch carriers. Thank you.

Recently, within the last couple of days, my data connection will drop in areas I know I have signal and data. It seems to be random and it won't come back online no matter what unless I enter airplane mode to reset it. I've tried resetting all kinds of settings. I'm not sure what else to try or if I need a new SIM card.

@B-m , I had the same issue.  I turned Airplane mode to ON, waited 30 seconds, then turned Airplane mode to OFF.  My network was able to re-establish connection after that.  Good luck.

Last couple of days my mother & I have had no data on Samsung phones until power cycled. My father with Pixel has had no issues. Is this device related?

Started earlier this week. It was intermittent. A phone restart or switching network mode from Global/LTE only to LTE/HSPA/GSM would help. 

As of the time of writing this, the issue is persistent. 

Location, all across Kitchener-Waterloo. Did not help when I drove across from Kitchener Downtown to Waterloo, St Jacobs and back. 

Phone signal bars appear normal. 

Phone reboots and airplane mode, turning data on/off does not help.

My mobile data is not working. Its very unreliable, even long text messages won't load. If I turn my phone off and on again it works briefly but then shut off again.

I've gone through the troubleshooting with the chat bot and none of the things worked. 

Im very displeased with my service and am considering switching to another provider.

It's crazy to me that you're still lying about this as it's very obvious everybody is having the same issues. Please stop giving false hope and instead redirect everyone to the mega thread that is addressing this as a widespread issue.

it can be fixed by Reboot the phone and Reset network settings. If still cannot connect, try changing network mode to 4G or LTE and reboot phone once more

I did it, but it didn't work. Data was unstable yesterday, but today hasn't worked at all.

@Jonathanmel You're not alone! Many are experiencing this issue at this moment. PM is looking into as we speak.

@scottmcculloch Seems like some serious outage issue, but not confirmed since it's not happening to everyone. Some have reported that restarting your phone restores services. So try that.

data not working

As another user stated people should submit a ticket. That way they can see that there's an issue if everyone reports it. I've submitted one just now so let's see what they respond back with. Toggling between airplane mode once I'm away from my home wifi seems to work but that shouldn't be a solution

My mobile data is not working, already did all troubleshooting.

Just this week I started dropping from the cell network. I have had public mobile for years and all of my family have the same service. We all have the same problems so I am quite certain it is not a problem with my phone. 

Everything seems to work fine and then spontaneously it seems to disconnect. I don't get texts or can't access cellular data (my phone tells me I'm "not connected to the internet". I have tried switching on and off airplane mode and restarting my phone. This works temporarily but again this happens within the next few hours. I am not sure how to maintain connection. 

I have also tried removing and reinstalling my sim card but have the same problem again

My phone works fine on a wifi network - so it seems related to cellular.

Please help
