Trouble with mobile data

[Bubbie]

We have auto withdraw for our plans and since January when I upped my data usage I have had nothing but problems. I keep losing service the minute I am outside away from wifi ,totally unsatisfied if the problem isn't fixed we will have to go with another carrier

@Bubbie - if you are showing data left on your My Account, try toggling into/out of airplane mode.

Also, ensure your phone does not have a data limiter set on it to automatically disable data usage once it reaches a certain limit. Check the settings on your phone to turn this off or adjust it.

Also, remember plans are 30 days here, not monthly. So if you have your device to track data usage, you will need to adjust the start date each renewal.

OR, Perform a Reset of your device's Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, VPN and APN settings, and connected Bluetooth devices that you've used before.

Iphone:

To Reset Network Settings, begin by opening the Settings app. Next, tap General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. and enter your passcode.

Your iPhone will reset network settings and restart itself.

android:

Find and tap Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options > Reset network settings.

@Bubbie 

I had the same problem last month. Just reset your Network on your phone but you need to re-enter your wifi password after resetting.

@Bubbie , is the signal strength in your area weak?  iPhones and more recently android phones use WiFi assist where mobile data can be consumed alongside a WiFi connection to "enhance user experience".  This might explain your data consumption issue.  As already recommended, it is best to check the usage in the online account to confirm.

Is cellular turned “ON” on your phone?

HI @Bubbie was mobile data working before January? or you just joined in January and it never works?

what phone do you have?

Do you lose signal in one particular area or it is everywhere?

Could be low signal or even your phone is losing contact with SIM card.

Can you try your SIM in another phone - same area(s) when you lose signal with current phone?

If possible, please try your SIM card in another device.  Some devices are better for signal than others.   There is a possibility that changes have been made in your area to the network.   In addition, customers are gonig to notice the 3g netowrk getting worse as spectrum gets repuprosed to newer network technolgies.  is your phone set to use LTE?

@Bubbie   could be an APN settings 

Your voice calls working ? just data an issue?

Start with this, click Reset All Networks and see if it helps

If not and if you are on Apple, make sure iOS is updated and make sure Carrier Profile is updated
