Yesterday got the Home Public Mobile plan with 1GB data but I can't get any data so far and I need data access with my phone in order to keep my job
I followed the support chat instructions for Android but the settings mentioned there do not completely match mine.
this is what the live support chart instructions are:
Here’s how to set up data in 3 steps:
1) Tap:
➡ Settings
➡ More
➡ Access Point Names
➡ New APN Settings
2) Input this info:
➡ 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) Leave all the other fields blank. Just hit save, and you’re good to go!
I don't have MMSC proxy on my Android 6 phone settings
the closest settings with similar names are just ‘proxy’ and ‘MMS proxy’ I tried putting 74.49.0.18 in each one at a time and in both but still can’t get data access.
Also when I turn on my phone the service status is reported as ‘Public Mobile emergency calls only’ However I am able to call all different phone number that I tried. And also the cellular signals from the service is strong.
by the way if this is of any help, my phone has currently two SIM cards. The other is Freedom Mobile which uses a data plan and data is working with this provider and I can’t remember making any changers to the settings. Maybe the people in the Freedom Mobile shop did that because when they gave me the phone they test it if it works. I bought my Public Mobile SIM card from a Mobile Shop in a Real Canadian Super store and the person who sold the SIM card to me said that he has to initiate my service by filling the online forms for me but all the changes to the phone he made was just to plug the SIM card after I opened the phone and that was it. No test was done if the SIM card or service works.
Comparing the cellular signal between the two SIM cards shows that Public has stronger cellular signals than Freedom mobile which on many places in downtown Toronto goes to two even one bar. Like going in underground parking the Freedom Mobile signal is almost gone while Public is quite strong. This is great but I can’t enjoy it if I can’t figure out how to access the data.
I will greatly appreciate any help with this
