You can always check My Account for exact data used. If you are keeping data on all the time on your phone, system and 3rd party apps can easily use big chunk of data due to constant web checks: emails, weather, updates, whatnot.

What plan you have?

Allotted data will reset at every renewal.

Apps could use way more data than you expect. Malware even more so.

Check if you can restrict background use of data by apps on your phone.

And make a habit of only turning data on when you need it.

 

@aprilmatisz 

Good to know that everything cleared up.  

 

Sometimes your data can be used up by one of your apps, phone updates, etc.  You could keep track with your phone data tracker, or 3rd party app.

In the future, if you need data right away, you can purchase a 1 GB data add on for $15.  Or change plans immediately or ask Customer service agent (CSA) to renew same plan earlier.  However, PM does not pro-rate plans.

do one thing Make sure your phone is off before removing your SIM card,

and take your SIM card out and waiting for a 2 minute and put it back and turn on -This one is quick and simple.

 

what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

 

or can you do try reseat the SIM card

1. power off your device

2. take out the SIM card,

3. wipe it clean SIM card,

4. put it back and power on,

5. toggling airplane mode off/on,  

 

and do again Rebooting your phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

I am guessing this topic has been chopped out of another topic as the subject begins with re:

So the original details have been left behind somewhere.

More details would be helpful.  Does your talk and text work?

Did data work before?

Which plan?  

 

As noted above, first thing to check is whether you ran out of data.  Check your self service account.  Under Data and add on section.  If you don't see a data counter/tracker, that means that you ran out of data.

 

P.S.  I started your own thead/topic
