Data not working and keeps switching to EE website

Hello, can anyone help me please? I have a Motorola moto e6 plus and been with Plusnet since last October, recently I received a text from EE saying you have used 80% of your Data ( I used to be an EE customer with 250 MB of data) I moved to Plusnet with 3GB of data. I then got another text a day later saying you have used your data ( 249 MB) I checked with EE that I am not still a customer of theirs which they confirmed I am not and said it must be a spam text. However now my phone keeps flashing up a message “sign into network Plusnet” and when I do it opens up the EE page with a pop up saying you have used all your data! Your data will reset on the 21/09/21 which was my old dates when I was with EE?  I have a triangle symbol showing strength of phone signal but with a x in the bottom right hand corner and data doesn’t work out in the wide world? I have tried a reset network as advised by Plusnet but that doesn’t work. I have tried resetting APN as per an earlier post in the forum but again no joy. This has suddenly started happening this month so don’t understand what is going on? Any ideas

Re: Data not working and keeps switching to EE website

Hi @Charlesb 

This is really odd. Can you drop me a private message with the following information so we can take a closer look? This information will pass our data protection checks.

+Your mobile number

+Your full name

+Your full address

+Are you the account holder?

+Your date of birth

+Last 2 digits of your bank account number

+Last 2 digits of your bank sort code

When private messaging me, please include a link to this thread as our staff private messages go through a centralised system internally so I might not actually personally message you back. Although just a few of us monitor our Community Forums so there’s a good chance I’ll pick it up.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

@Charlesb Click Gandalfs' avatar - a page will open with a 'contact me' link on the right side, and a 'Send private message' tab below that.

Re: Data not working and keeps switching to EE website

Hi, the problem was with Plusnet not setting the data level correctly when they set my account up from EE. One of the Plusnet guys with the avatar name of Gandalf who regularly checks this community  picked up the message and private messaged me and managed to get the data level changed by contacting his colleagues within Plusnet. It took a while to sort but we got there in the end. It is no use contacting Plusnet through the normal customer service numbers as they are not experienced in this problem and say it is nothing to do with Plusnet but EE which is nonsense. But fortunately Gandalf sorted it out having heard of it before. Good luck

Aye, we got there in the end!

Cheers for the posts and messaging me @feichter 

The good news is that this experience has taught our second line support team on how to fix these type of issues, which means that it should be significantly quicker moving forward, if someone has the same issue.

Previously when I helped @Charlesb things were a little different as we’ve had a few process changes since then. But lessons have been learnt from this experience.
