I had the same problem when i first activated my account.Internet only worked with data on. What worked for me is i reset my modem...so i unplugged it for ten seconds and then plugged it back in. By the way i have a 5g modem and had no problem connecting to wifi even though my data plan only includes 3g speed. Hope this helps.


This thread is nearly 9 months ago and has not been replied to since then.  Either way, Wi-Fi not working isn't related to activating or using Public Mobile services.

Not sure if you've already tried, but you can go into Settings, then Wifi, then click on your network and click Forget. Then try connecting again, you'll need to enter the password again.

I believe the ! mark on the wifi symbol means, no Internet. It seems like you are not connecting to the wifi network properly. What about your home wifi?

@Taraotoole11, what model of phone do you have?  This is not a mobile network issue.  The problem is with the phone.  Phones always favor WiFi for data over wireless.

@Taraotoole11 What happens when you click on the wifi you want to connect? Have you tried connecting to different wifi and turning off data and Airplane mode?
