Hotspot and Data is not working

KhAG

I am a new customer, just moved to public a week ago. The internet was good but Today I woke up and my hotspot (Data Sharing) is has no internet while I am only 8GB/40GB. I tried to restart the phone connect and reconnect the sim...etcnothing happened. 

Now, I don't even have access to the internet. I'm using android,and I've already tried to reset the network and restart the phone, the data limit is disabled.

Was that there was no direct phone number to call customer service. I've been searching for almost two hours.

Please share any useful info, if I have to switch back to my previous provider I will do as they gave me a special offer to get back.

You can't update the default APN.  You must create a new APN and tell the phone to use the one you created.  When you create the apn, copy all the settings from above into it, and make sure to add: ,dun under the APN type.  I did this and my hotspot works again.

Please read my post again, I already checked these things and there is no data limit or Data Saver

@KhAG   Are you still having problems with the hotspot?  There seems to be a problem at the moment because several other people are reporting the same thing and I tested it myself with the same result.   Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

@KhAG what is your exact Model and brand of the phone??

Where should I update the APN

@KhAG since you have Android your own internet likely blocked by the data limit like this, either change the Data Limit or disable it

@KhAG 

there's no traditional call center help with PM...your first line for help is with the Community Forum. If we can;t help we can provide further guidance. Does your text and talk still work as expected ?
