Hi,

Thank you very much, updating to 10.3.3 fixed the issue! I still don;t understand how/why 🙂

Thanks everybody for help!

Please be %100 sure that she has data remaining. Unfortunately I've seen a few times where people realize after, that they actually have no data left. It's just weird that it stopped suddenly after working for a period of time.

Please update to the latest iOS 10.3.3 if possible.

@dragos come to think of it you could also try resetting the network settings.  Again I don't know the specifics for iOS but I believe that could be helpful.  You could also try connecting to iTunes on a computer to see if there are any carrier updates available for the phone.  Last resort would be a factory reset but this would wipe the phone so back up anything not already synced to iCloud or another service.  But I'd try APN settings verification and carrier update check first, then probably network settings reset, then factory reset. 


unless anyone has better ideas!

@Luddite@Rockdaddy22 can you guys be of any assistance to @dragos?  Sorry Dragos I'm not an iPhone guy but I'm thinking you may need to check your APN settings but I can't really walk you through that.

@dragos,

 

I'm not sure if you've verified in Self-Serve (myaccount button) if the data is still available in the account.  If all data has been used within the prepaid cycle, the information WILL NOT show in Self-Serve.  If there is information there, the data is still available.

 

Have you checked to ensure airplane mode is not enabled?   Is the phone able to connect to either 3G or LTE services by choice or automatic?
