Data is not working and not showing up under usage

It has been a while that free 250MB with $15 plan data is not available for me. It shows up under plan but not under usage and my phone has never been able to use mobile data. Is there a reason why this might be a problem? Checked settings - they are according to the ones provided for public mobile users.

Make sure you enable your cellular data and airplane mode turned off.

Are you still on AutoPay? You will need to turn on AutoPay setting in your Self Serve account.


Autopay is not required for the data bonus.


@computergeek541   that is only for $15 plan?  

$25 and above still need Autopay for the extra 500mb?

@mixdali   Are you on Android, if so, it is easy to confirm if you did used up the data on the device level

 

or check the Usage history in My Account (https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/Overview/viewUsageChangePlan/)  , check if there is any Web traffic.  This can confirm if you have used the data by some background processes or not

@mixdali Was this data working before? Is there a chance that all 250MB was used up for an update or something done on data instead of WiFi?

If it shows up in your plan while the settings are all correct and not showing the usage then normally it means it has been used up.

@mixdali   if phone is never able to use Data, it is likely an APN issue.  What kind of phone is yours? Android or iOS?

 

For iOS, you need the update the Carrier Profile
