Hi there, I just upgraded my phone from a Xiaomi Mi A1 to a Note 8 Pro and I moved my old SIM card over which resulted in calling and texting working fine while I have no data whatsoever. Any thoughts what the culprit could be? Thanks.

Honestly I messed around with the Sim card settings in the phone and restarted several times but it ended up sorting itself out. Sorry, wish I could be more help.

I got mine yesterday and am having a similar issue. It's telling me my sim isn't activated and it can't send the activation message. Weird tho as I already tested calls and a text to a friend, data works, but the banner and message keeps popping up. Did you get this sorted?

Please turn on data from phone and restart your phone if you can see signal from your phone then you should be getting data too

Thanks

I didn't have to do anything special to get the Note 8 Pro working. Like mentioned above it took a couple hours for the data to start working (still can't explain this one) but the calling and texting worked immediately and this is a GREAT phone.

How did you get it working?

Thanks

The compatibility checker is not 100 % accurate. Just checked the specs of this phone. It will work with Public Mobile.

To madhi19:

The phone feels incredible, high quality materials, super bright display, high-end components, screen clarity is excellent... I will never shell out for a Samsung again.

To everyone else: very sorry I forgot about this thread because on Sunday after I posted this I went to a movie and when I came out my phone was magically working. Before the movie I had tried most of the suggestions here including forcing the phone to use 3G and 4G and toying with various data-related settings as well as numerous restarts. I'm not sure if anything I did fixed the problem or not, it just seemed to start working on it's own.

Thanks for your help everyone!

P.S. If anyone has any questions about the Xiaomi/Redmi Note 8 Pro feel free to hit me up!
