Mobile data

[Whatswrong]

I'm unable to access my mobile data except through a WiFi. Is this related to APN settings and if so what are these settings

Hey there @Whatswrong, 

Welcome to the Community and thanks for your post. 

It will be hard to determine the cause of your concern with the information provided, as it could be the result of many different scenarios, from incorrect phone settings to reaching a data limit. 

To narrow it down, please provide the following info:

I went through the APN settings update as per your message. The existing settings were almost as suggested except for the name which displayed Bell so i changed it to Virgin Plus. The APN Type was: default,mms,supl, which I deleted and left it blank. However i did not find the field MMS Protocol. Instead the field APN Protocol and APN roaming protocol displaying IPv4 and IPv4/IPv6 respectively were set. Do I need to alter any of these settings and what about the MMS protocol? Thanks for the help

I would test what happens when you toggle the wifi off. Do you see an icon with lte/4g etc appear where the wifi icon was? If no, you should check in the Settings to see if you need to turn on your Mobile data.

İnternet connection is established while WiFi is off. The mobile data is on. The icon displayed switches between 4G and 4G+. Do i need to modify the APN protocol and APN roaming protocol settings mentioned in my previous msg?

Thanks

I checked with someone using the same device, their APN setting are a match for what you have listed. 

Does your mobile data work now when you toggle the Wi-Fi off? 

[Whatswrong]

Seems it's working now and the problem is resolved (I guess). Will keep checking. Thanks

Hi, I am sending this message for my husband. He recently bought a Maxwest Neo Flip Phone & is using PrePaid. How does he connect to the internet? Does he need data? What are the specifications to put in Setting - - - > Connections?

Thanks!

I use the same phone with Fido for 5 years, transferred my cell phone plan with virginPlus on May 12, 2023.  No internet connection at all on this phone; I can call, text and receive call.   

I followed this community advice on Lg 5 Mobile Network -> Access Point Names -> manually type in:

Name:  Virgin Plus   ;  APN:  pda.bell.ca. ;   Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca.  ;   port: 80;   

Username:     blank.  Password: bland;   Server: Not set;  MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc ; 

MMS proxy: web.wirless.bell.ca   ;     MCC port:  80;  MCC 302;   MNC: 610;    

Authentication type: Not set;    APN type:  blank ; APN protocol :  Ipv4/Ipv6;    APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6 

Unfortunately, after power off/on, Still No data service. 

I have called former mobile company Fido, called LG , called all department of VirginPlus. 

NO BODY CAN HELP !!
