Unable to get data or send text messages

I've been unable to get mobile data or send text messages for the last few days. Can receive text messages fine though. My brother has Plusnet mobile too but he hasn't had any problems. What should I do?

Re: Unable to get data or send text messages

I have (almost) the same problem - new account, number ported and no internet, text messages won't send.  Is there a solution?

Re: Unable to get data or send text messages

Hi @mwhitby and @PollyW,

I'm sorry to hear that you're both experiencing these similar issues. Have either of you been able to try testing the SIM card in another mobile phone handset, or tried turning the handset off for 30 seconds and back on again?

Yes, I have re-booted my phone.  Yes I have tried the card in another handset.  No it doesn't work in the other handset either.  Both phones work with sim from a different provider.  Not an end user problem!!!

Re: Unable to get data or send text messages

Hi, I've got exactly the same problem. Access to data and the ability to send texts stopped 11 days ago and despite trying all of the fixes recommended on this forum, nothing has worked. I have spoken with customer service three times and got nowhere - the new SIM promised a week ago still hasn't turned up. I've only been with plusnet for 6 weeks and I've had enough already...

Re: Unable to get data or send text messages

Hi @PollyW and @Dubs38,

I'm sorry to hear my previous suggestions haven't helped to resolve either of your issues. Please can you both send me a private message with your mobile phone numbers and account numbers so that we can start to take a further look into these issues?

I've also tried rebooting the phone and tried the sim in a different phone and had the same issue.

@mwhitby Sorry to hear this.

So we can investigate further can you drop me a PM with your mobile number or account number along with your full address?

Re: Unable to get data or send text messages

Well, I have received a replacement sim card and phoned to activate it.  The result?  No mobile calls either.  So now I have nothing at all.  Well done, Plusnet

Mine seems to have started working again by itself.

My data randomly started to work again too. Now it's gone again. 12 days and counting...
