No data on $15 dollar plan with auto pay.

[Can_Yeager]

I set up my sons account which is $15 dollars a month with autopay. His data usage show a extremely small amount data used.

should have 250mb of data but he can’t open a web page.

He is using an iPhone and yes his cell data is turned on.

@Can_Yeager Log into his account to see if data is left. On the Overview page, you will see 250MB data add-on. If it is missing, it means he used it all up. Go to usage history and it will show you when and how much it was used.  Sometimes WiFi assist feature uses data when you're on a weak wifi network.

@Can_Yeager Does data work for anything else? Like iMessage, or any other app that is using data? 

[Can_Yeager]

249 of 250mb remaining.

the account is only 1 week old, he has never been able to open a web page.

Check in iPhone settings, it will show you which app used data. Then go to usage history to see when it was used. I suggest he should turn off WiFi assist.

Edit: Is it 249 remaining or used up?

Have you checked for any software updates? Have you updated the carrier settings via iTunes? Here's all you need to know....

If the overview shows 249 / 250 MB that means it is virtually all used up. But if it shows 1 / 250 MB and you translated that to “249 of 250mb remaining” then yes he has Used virtually none of the data. There are lots of ways that 250 MB of cell data can disappear in a heartbeat. Apps, updates, video, speed tests, etc.

Have you verified APN settings?

Tried a Network settings reset?

Do you have your own phone with working data? Try swapping the SIM with your son's and see what happens.

If your SIM works in his phone but his SIM doesn't work in yours, the SIM would be faulty.

In case on a SIM provisioning issue, you will need CS help:

[update for future reference: This is an combined effort.  🙂

OP needed to set the APN settings (iPhone) to isp.mb.com and reboot then phone. He then also found out Safari Mobile Data access to toggled off and have to turn it back on]

Can his other apps use mobile data ?

Also, iPhone can allow or disallow  individual app use Mobile Data or not.  Did you check if Safari is enabled for Mobile Data or not?

and can you logon to My Account and post a screenshot of his data remaining from My Account Overview tab? something like this:
