Data

[Rachel0881]

I have my son and I both on public mobile using the same credit card with 2 different accounts. I set up a third account for my second son tonight and me and my other son lost our data. Any ideas?

Yuk. Hope you have access to wifi.

EDIT: Just realized how dim that comment was. Guess I was assuming you had some special voodoo connection rather than plan old wifi.

All 3 of us actually have no data right now. Glad to hear it's not just me. I guess it may have been a coincidence that I just set up a 3rd phone

I think it is just unlucky. If you are trying to activate switch to wifi, or try 3G (it's still working for me).

@Rachel0881 just sit tight. I think your among many of us. I'll let you know when we are up again and then consider trying something. For now, it's likely nothing you can fix.

[Rachel0881]

Neither of us have run out of data

[Rachel0881]

I have 3 accounts set up right now. 2 of us were set up 2 months ago and have had no issues. I set up a tried account tonight and none of us have data now. All 3 of us have data on our plans.

Log into one account. Scroll down the page to My Data & add-ons.

What plan are you each on?

When you say you lost, do you mean you cannot connect it is gone from both selfserves.

Using the same credit card on multiple accounts can cause issues during renewal time if multiple accounts renew in the same day.  This is because anti fraud checks may interpret back to back payments to the same merchant over a small period of time as potentially suspicious.  Otherwise, the issue as describe is not related to repeat use of a credit card.

@Rachel0881 I am also having trouble with my data tonight, so it might be unrelated!

@Rachel0881 

That is a weird situation.  Setting up credit card in your self service account should not affect your account itself (ie. data).  As long as the credit card is not withdrawn on the same day for multiple accounts, it should not be an issue.  

Is it possible that you and your other son both ran out of data?  Check your usage history.  

[Jb456]

 not possible considering each account needs it's own email address and sim card.

Are you sure your son/you did not use up all the data on each account?

Log into both accounts. Scroll down to my Data and Addons.

If no data is displayed there both used it all up.

@Jmcfarlane15 is this still an outstanding issue?

if so:

1) are you a brand new customer and data has yet to work at all since you activated?  If so, what is the brand and model of your phone?  Some phones have extra steps that need to be taken.  We can help.

2) OR, are you an existing customer and data was working fine but suddenly stopped?  If so, have you signed into your self-serve account and checked the Overview page?  Does it display your plan data in the My Data and Add-Ons section near the bottom?  if you don't see your plan data there, you have used all of your current billing cycle's plan data.

Are calling , texting working? 

If so, just follow the guide to enter your apn, it will work.

Most likely you need to add access point information (called an APN). iPhones and Android phones vary as to how you get there but its through the Settings menu. Android looks something like Apps/Settings/More/Cellular network settings/Access point names. From there press Menu and select New APN.

You should see a number of fields. Make sure you fill them in exactly, Caps where needed. After saving you might need to reboot your phone - particularly if you're coming from another cell company. I've also needed to reboot/restart on iPhones.
