It was working fine this morning around 7:15 am and for the last few hours it doesn't work anymore.  I have power cycled my phone, turn on and off airport mode, as well as reset my network settings.  What's going on with your service?

hi @SYDNEYPLETT 

this kind of outage will happen to any carrier.

for now, Reboot phone and click Reset network settings.  It works for me.  But it is true it might lose connection after some time, and you will have to do it again

I have this problem tat each time I take my phone out of my pocket the cellular data is disconnected and I have to toggle airplane mode then it works until I turn my phone off.  It’s very annoying and the worst part is I’ve heard of over a dozen people locally having the same issue some even having no internet at all which doesn’t work for a business.  If the issue will not be fixed soon a lot of people will leave.

Same issue in NL. Both my phone and my spouses phone continually lose the data connection. Typically when moving from wifi to cellular or within an area with poor signal reception. Restarting phone or temporarily toggling airplane mode on/off will fix it, until we move through a low service area or in and out of a wi-fi area again. First noticed the issue on Monday the 25th.

hi @Anerkons 

maybe Bell would have the same problem?

None of my 4 family members has had data for almost 5 days. Tried all the suggestions and tips. Nothing worked. We are in the Halifax, nova scotia area. Please help

Same here, no data

Anerkons

Since I ported to PM on a 5G plan my data has been spotty. When I’m at a store or mall I usually find and use their WFI . Sometimes I wonder why I pay for 5G data plan since I’m mostly on WIFI. 
However to be fair, I’ve  experience the same spotty data problem even when I was with Bell.

And I'm on the north shore of PEI.

That is about the same for me.  It was Public Mobile service was great, until two days ago and it's pretty much gone.  ( A few random moments it works, but generally, not working). 

AdeleBrake

I can't connect at all.

Considering I depend on Hotspotting at home to watch TV or use my laptop for work, this is ZERO STARS, do not recommend territory.

I am also having an issue with data connection. Full service, can call and send SMS but no data connection. Sometimes it will trigger for a few minutes but then right back to no connection. Tried rebooting phone, resetting connection setting, nothing is working.

Im a student at UPEI in Charlottetown and have great service. It's just the last few days Public Mobile's data service has died

I’m also having the same issue my mobile data was very very slow initially now doesn’t work is it down ?

3033
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

I did all of that.  When I changed to LTE from 4 G it now works.  However, there is no guarantee it will stay. 
My husband's phone is also with PM, and his phone has an identical issue.  I did all you suggested on his phone and it 'didn't' fix his issue - no data coverage.  
Could it be the area we live in?  We relocated several weeks ago to PEI>. Do you have decent coverage here?  Could that be an issue??????

Did you reboot your phone, also reset your network settings if you did you need to contact an agent for help 

palguire

I'm having the same issues. Sometime rebooting has worked but now it's not.  I also have done all the resets and tricks everywhere and nothing is working.
Hope they fix whatever they changed soon.

Seems like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Can someone please provide an answer/support to resolve the issue. No data service for a week or more.

Cbondoutdoors

Just recently (within the last week or so) started having issues with the data dropping off - no 5G, LTE or 3G, just shows the service bars. The phone needs to be restarted fully to get it back. Thought maybe it was a phone issue but another PM user I know has been having the same issue on their phone as well. Anyone else having this problem or find a way around it? Thanks!

We have 2 accounts with PM, both have been experiencing network problems this week.  Is this a system wide problem?  Able to reconnect after restarting phone or toggling airplane mode

Anerkons
Great Citizen / Super Citoyen

From the exact same location, at times I have no data at all or it fluctuates between 5G and LTE and have even noticed 3G. 

Since towers are shared, I’m wondering if all carriers would experience Data down at the same time? Could  solar flares be possibly the reason? 

Not regular occurrence, just an ongoing data issue this week.  It will be fixed soon 

Try Reboot phone and Reset Network Settings

  If still loss connection, try changing network mode to 4g or LTE and reboot phone once more 

Kaylyn
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

For the past couple days now, both my husband and my phones data won't stay connected. It just randomly disconnects, not allowing RCS messages to send. It comes back temporarily if we restart our phones, or turn airplane mode on/off, but then disconnects quickly after we've put our phones away. 

Is this a regular occurrence? I've done all of the trouble shooting recommended by public mobile and nothing is fixing the issue.

Any hints at what may be happening and how we could resolve this?

Hi there,

For the past couple of weeks, my cellular data has not been working. I am not able to send texts unless I am connected to wifi. Can you please look into this for me?

Thanks
