Make sure Data is turned on on your phone

Do a Reset Network settings.

If still not working, try the SIM card in another phone if possible.

@Brancs  you tried rebooted the phone?

are you on Android?  Android has a Data Limit lock on the device itself.  Not sure if you have setup that up, please check.

 @Brancs : Hopefully your other post in an older thread will get moved over. The important question above is...did your data work before you bought the add-on?

@Brancs 

Did data work before?  If you see the data add on in your self service account, under Data and Add on section, it should be working.  Maybe try rebooting your phone.  

Just a reminder:  purchasing an add on is  a two step process.  Need to load funds first and then purchase add on. 

Edit: here is the help article on purchasing add on
