It might need a factory reset like the LG phones!

I've added a link to my post, check it out 😉 (subtitle "What You Should Do After Activating")

  1. From the home screen, tap the Menu button.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Tap Mobile networks.
  4. Tap Access Point Names.
  5. Tap the Menu button.
  6. Tap New APN.
  7. Tap the Name field.
  8. Enter Internet, then tap OK.

Should be that, or close to it

 

Here are some great links

To make sure your experience is as smooth as possible, we recommend you do the following after you’ve activated with us:

  1. Ensure you have the correct APN settings by visiting https://apn-canada.gishan.net/. Select the brand and model of your phone, scroll down the page and then select Public Mobile. After doing so, you will be provided with the exact APNs required for your phone on our network.
    • Some models of iPhones do not allow you to manually update your APNs. If this is your case, using your mobile phone, visit co.nz. This will automatically download the required APNs in your phone settings.
    • If you have an LG phone and you still aren’t able to use your data after all of this, we suggest doing a factory reset of your phone.
  2. If your plan includes data, don’t forget to enable data on your phone.
  3. Turn your phone off and then back on. This quick refresh will help your phone deal with all the changes that have taken place.

Make sure your data is turned on in the settings, and then check your APN settings 🙂
