@Isabelle11  are you able to leave the APN Type field blank rather than choosing one of the options you previously mentioned?

Are you not able to edit that field and manually enter values?

Yes data is working


If data is working but tethering is not, then add dun to the APN type field as suggested in an earlier post.  Some hardware needs this extra bit of information, not sure why.  I need this for a few devices I own.

Yes it should work. Just be careful of who has access and how much data the tethering user uses. 

Tethering does work.  Public mobile has zero restriction on it.

Indeed, is your data otherwise working?

I'm able to "tether" my laptop to my iPhone via USB and use it to access the internet using my phone's PM data plan, or simply create a personal hotspot for my laptop or tablet to connect via WiFi.  Is that what you're referring to?

It's not about Public Mobile. It's about your phone and computer.

I just did a quick test with my BB OS10 and it worked perfectly fine using USB.

Wifi hotspot also works fine.
