No it has not. I thought it was because I just had the free 500mb with plan. But I have lots of data available now and still not working. The APN is correct. Can’t shut off phone after or it goes to original setting. Network selection is PM. 


@pammyl   You meant you CANNOT shut off phone after or it goes to original setting?  Why?  it is very common to try to reboot your phone to have things fixed.  Also, why it will going back to original settings?  It won't usually.  If it does, there is problem with the phone or you forgot to save some settings

 

Did you check if Cellular Data is already turned on?

Also, you might need to check for carrier updates.

 

I suggest you to try the couple check from here:

If still fails, since you have an iphone, maybe you can bring it to an Apple store for help.

Is your data on your iPhone worked with PM, Telus or Koodo before?

If not, it may still have other mobile provider specific config file in your iPhone.

1.  Check your phone for any waiting update.  If yes, update and restart your phone.

2.  If step 1 does not work, connect your iPhone to iTune running on a PC using the charging cable to update your iPhone.  Restart your phone after update.  The PM specific config file should be on your phone.

Good luck.

 

EDIT:  Reasons for this procedure:

In order to use your mobile data, you need to configure your phone's APN parameters correctly.  But iPhone does not allow user to manually change the APN settings.  One of the task for the provider specific config file is to configure the APN parameters.  On iPhone restart, it read the config file and make sure the APN settings are correct.

What your PM account says regarding your data allowance? Provide screenshot if needed so we can better understand...

Did data (internet) ever worked for you?

Have you enabled Data on your phone? I guess WiFi works with no problem?

@pammyl  - has your Data ever worked?

 

Can you try your SIM into another compatible phone to see if DATA works then?

Ensure your Data option is turned on in your settings of your device when you what to use DATA.

 

If still not working, restart your phone, then perform a reset of the network settings.

@pammyl    First thing to check is whether you have any data left to use.  Log into your self serve account and scroll down the page and look under My Data/Add-ons, if you don't see a data line there, that means you've depleted your data allotment for this cycle and can purchase a data add-on ($15/1GB) to tide you over until renewal.    To purchase add-ons first add the funds and then make the applicable purchase.  These add-ons don't expire and will be available anytime you've depleted the plan data before renewal.

 

Also check your phone and make sure you haven't set a data limiter on there, if you have just remove the limit set for now.

Confirm you have data left by logging into self-service by looking under My Data & Add-Ons.

 

Next check your apn settings.
