@Jacklabel55 hi check your apn settings to see if they match check your APN settings:1) Open your settings, then tap:

• Access Point Names
• New APN Settings

2) Ensure the following fields match:

• Name: Public Mobile
• APN: sp.mb.com
• MMSC proxy: 74.49.0.18
• MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
• MMS port: 80
• MCC: 302
• MNC: 220

3) If you needed to make a change, hit save, reboot, and you’re good to go!Make sure to enable data in your phone settings.  it is possible with your new number there is a provisioning issue with your account contact a cs agent

So that sounds like either out of data or APN settings. Did you check your my data & add-ons for a line saying data. If not then you've used it all. Otherwise can you provide an image(s) of your APN settings. Select Public if you have one. Maybe you're on a Telus one.

The only thing that did not work was accessing the internet without wifi, so using data. it is the same sim number ,i just asked public mobile for a new phone number . I can make calls and answer texts yes.

So you had a working account on a working phone and everything worked? Then you got this phone?

Can you make and answer calls?

Can you send and receive texts?

What do you mean "new number"? A new telephone number? A new sim number?

[Jacklabel55]

This is a brand new phone, the only thing that happened on this phone is a new number was recently created , we changed the old number to a new number.

Confirm through your self-serving account if you do have data available. If you do not see any reference to data it means you used all data.

Rebooting phone will not hurt either...

I have yet to even access for the first time.

@Jacklabel55 hi is it a new activation if nothing works your phone may be locked to another carrier if it is just data it could be your apn settings

Log in to your account and look under my data & add-ons for a line saying data. Is it there? If not then you used it all.
