Question

Could not activate cellular data network


I came back from another country where I used another SIM. When I got back to Canada a few days ago, I put my Koodo SIM back to my phone and turned on “Cellular Data” and put  my “Primary” data network with Koodo on. I can use my phone but I cannot use my cellular data. When I tried to use email or Safari, the sign “Could not activate cellular data network: Turn on cellular data or use Wi-Fi to access data” comes up on the screen. What should I do?

Did this help you find an answer to your question?

It seems your cellular data was Off. I would recommend you reset network settings of the phone to see if that could help.

As far as I can see, my cellular data is on. --- How can I reset network settings?

It is still not working. It seems my wifi was reset (cannot recognize the one that I am using) but not cellular data.

Which plan are you on? Was there any data block in your account? Can you log into your self-serve to see if you still have access to all data bucket?

My plan is “Unlimited Canada Wide Minutes 20 GB Shock Free Data 4G speed unlimited Canada-wide messages.”

I don’t think there is any data block in my account. ---- How can I check?

Yes I still have access to all data bucket.

In place of screen shot, this is my cellular data setting:

 

Cellular Data : On

Personal Hotspot: Off

Primary: On (This is my Koodo account)

Used as “Business”: No SIM (This is the one I use in another country)

 

Cellular DATA (I think that this is what I used in another country in this month...)

Hi @K.T. 

If it’s for the line *** *71 ****,  we have checked and data is not blocked.

Have you checked the APN settings on your phone? https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/setting-data-your-non-koodo-phone?srsltid=AfmBOoqW9ziR7W9Ao0dtUCLqEKWJnvbSHedceal3VUf8RfQDwXbSZOs2

If the APN settings are as indicated in the article, please try the sim with a different phone if possible and let us know how it goes.

Hi @K.T., if you were abroad and used another SIM please check Settings > General > VPN & Device Management, as there may be a saved profile for the other SIM. Delete the profile if there is one (should be named for the local carrier) and restart your device. Let us know if that worked, thank you!
