Weird internet when abroad

[mindreadertype]

Hello

I’m currently in the US. My phones been fine but over the last few days it’s refused to let me send iMessages or WhatsApp’s or emails unless connected to WiFi. It’s been fine for internet usage like safari and Facebook etc... anyone have any ideas how I can fix it. I’ve tried all the obvious resets etc...

Try manually searching for a different network.

Yep. Tried this. Only letting me get data with AT&T annoyingly.

Have you also checked to see if mobile data is enabled for those apps that aren't working?

@mindreadertype You'll get connected to either AT&T or T-Mobile, whichever is the stronger signal in the area you're in. You won't connect to Verizon or Sprint.

It's a long shot as some data services are working, but you could also try a different apn.
If yours is "idata.o2.co.uk" try "mobile.o2.co.uk" or vice versa.

I don’t think you can turn it off or on for iMessage but either way it’s on for everything

The son setting change worked! Thank you

[mindreadertype]

Apn settings even!

Strange but pleased it worked for you
