mobile data not working on pixel 3a

I am able to make calls and send/receive SMS messages but I can no longer receive mobile data. I only noticed this about a month ago and previously I've had no problem with mobile data. I have tried the SIM in a different mobile and mobile data didn't work there either. This is happening wherever I go not just my local area. I've tried restarting my phone many times and I have reset network settings but that did not work either. Is there anything else I can try?

Hi @djb74 

Are you on EE PAYG or pay monthly contract?

Are you in the UK

Thanks 




To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone. You can call Freephone +44 800 079 8586 on Skype

Hello,  I am on a pay monthly subscription pack.  I am in the UK yes.

PAYG then!

What does texting AL to 150 from your no. fully report verbatim (it is free)?

Hi @djb74 

Can you try logging into your My EE app, going to Menu, Settings and Permissions, do you have use mobile data turned on? 

Leanne 🙂

In the EE app, under Settings and Permissions I just have:

Lost/Stolen device

Leave EE

Unlock your device

Activate my SIM

Replace my SIM

Transfer number to EE

ID Verification

WiFi Calling

Log in settings

App Settings

 

I don't see mobile data setting there.

I have mobile data turned on in the phone settings, but I can't see a mobile data setting in the My EE app.

Thanks for checking this for me @djb74 

In this case, please call us on 150 and the team can check your account settings and help you get this sorted 🙂

Leanne.

I called 150 and talked to several of your colleagues and the problem was that EE has upgraded to 4G but my subsription was still 3G.  They said they had upgraded my subscription to 4G and I just needed to restart my phone.  I restarted and I can now get mobile data.  Unfortunately the EE app is now saying I have 0GB of data and no minutes or texts.  Unfortunately they didn't stay on the line to check everything was ok.  Previous to the call I had 148 minutes, unlimited texts and 15GB remaining.
