Turned off cellular data, when I turned it back on, I couldn't connect to AT&T

I had turned off the Cellular data while in a WiFi zone...when I turned it back on while on the road, all attempts to connect.(in spite of EXCELLENT AT&T signal strength), were met with "you do not have an internet connection" messages.
I've since gotten into a WiFi zone and re-established my account connection; I'm going to see if that did the trick.
I guess my question is about whether turning off the Cellular Data switch logs us off the network and we then must re-log-in to reconnect?
Or is my experience unique?
Thanks for any remarks you folks care to contribute!

  • I have ios 7 and lately when im turning off cellular data for some apps when i leave settings and go back in they have turned on back again by themselves. It appears as if i cant turn off cellular data for the apps i want. Any tips?

    I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?

    Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

  • I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps.  When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage.  Any thoughts?

    I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists.  I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems. 
    Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening.  After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders.  Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
    When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!".  I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad.  Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
    I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
    Thank you

  • It's my understanding that when traveling overseas, all i have to do is turn off cellular data to avoid high data charges.

    it's my understanding that when traveling overseas, all i have to do is turn off cellular data to avoid high data charges.

    With Airplane Mode you will not receive phone calls.  If you are just worried about Data Charges then just go to Settings>Cellular>Data 'Off'  This may also turn your iMessage off such that all your iMessages even in a WiFi environment go out as Text Messages.  If you still want to use iMessage from Apple device to Apple device in a WiFi network then go to Settings>Messages> and turn it back on after you have set Cellular Data to Off.  Ckuan is correct though about having some per minute received or outgoing call and text charges.  For one example, if you were traveling in Canada but didn't have a Canada Plan you would pay about 89 cents per minute and 50 cents per send / receive Text.

  • How do you turn off cellular data on an iphone 5c when there is no "cellular" in settings?

  • How do you turn off cellular data on Ipad Air 2 with IOS 8.1.2

    We have three new iPad Air 2s within the family. All have wi-fi capability but we are not needing to suscribe to it at this time, plan to use it on trips away from home. All of them get a popup message every 1-2 hours reminding to select a cellular plan. If it were only asking to select a cellular carrier I would understand, but when you do that it requires you to select a plan and add payment info for it. We are not ready to do that at this time. There is no "off" button on the cellular setting as there is on the iPhone. Is there a way to turn off the constant reminders to add a cellular plan?

    There is no option to not sign up for the data plan.  I just returned from the Apple Genius Bar and my genius said the only way to stop the message now is to remove the SIM card, but be sure to keep it in a safe place for when I want to activate Cellular.  The change from the older iPads is that the pre-installed SIM is a generic one that will work with ATT, TMobile and Verizon.  In the past you selected your carrier when you purchased the iPad and their dedicated SIM card was installed.  I really dislike this solution, especially keeping up with the itsy bitsy SIM card and having it readily available when I need it.  I did try a temporary solution mentioned in another thread to tell Siri to turn off Cellular Data.  She will do it, but it resets when you reboot the iPad.  That is preferable to me than removing and keeping up with the SIM card.

    I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

    Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested.  Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on.  It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).

    Im just really annoyed.  I turned off my data when I barely went over at 4.004 before I went to bed. I just recently checked it to make sure it wasnt using data, But it had gone up to 4.037, after my data had been turned off.  So I want to know what the deal is because thats bogus.

    No need to worry jsanders9! We would be delighted to clarify. Please keep in mind that data usage can be delayed for up to 48 hours. To get the most up to date usage we recommend dialing #DATA send from your VZW device, thanks!

  • How to turn off cellular data for exchange mail iphone 4 running on ios 7.1.1

    Hello,
    I am new to using iphone 4. I am able to turn off cellular data for most of my apps. But unable to find an option to turn off celullar data for exchange emails.
    Is this possible? please help.
    For now I am using the fetch method instead of push.

    What's not there on the 4S is the ability to specifically disable 3G data. You can disable all cellular data. Turning off 3G did NOT turn off cellular data. It just shut off 3G. You would still be connected to the EDGE data network if present.

  • I have an iphone 5 w/hot spot but am traveling out of the country. If I turn off cellular data

    I HAVE AN IPHONE 5W/HOT SPOT VERIZON PLAN AND AM TRAVELING OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
    IF I TURN OFF CELLULAR DATA AND DATA ROAMING TO AVOID DATA FEES, IT DISCONNECTS MY HOT SPOT.
    IS THERE A WAY TO TURN DATA OFF AND STILL UTILIZE HOT SPOT?

    Hi Friend,
    If you turn off Cellular Data you are unable to use hotspot.
    But you can turn on Airplane Mode and them turn on Wifi, then you can use Wifi wherever you are with Wifi connection. But remember, if you turn on Airplane mode, it automatically turn off your Wifi, so you need to trun on it again,
    Hope it will be helpful

  • Can I turn off cellular data but still text?

    I just got billed for a $113 phone bill, all because of data. I don't travel, so it isn't roaming. Can I turn off cellular data but still text? I have free texting (plan) so I want to be able to text without wifi, but whenever I go onto games or anything without wifi, it says "turn on cellular data" or something similar, with two options (Okay, and Settings) I tap okay and exit the game, but it still charges me and it turns cellular on for the game. I don't want to continue getting charged for cellular games and such, but I still want texting. Is there anyway to get that?

    Next time click Settings. Clicking OK is telling the message that you want to "turn on Cellular Data".
    And again, did you look in Settings>Cellular under the "Use Cellular Data" section to see if your games show up in that list?

  • Hello, I have a MacBook Air, when I was watching a movie it started to freeze, so I turned off. But when I turn it on just the white screen appears nothing else. I looked on other websites, but the methods didn't help.

    Try a Safe Mode boot ...
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

  • Do you want turn off cellular data?

    Unfourtuanatelly Apple doesn't offer us this option, but I figure out a way to do it, even in mobile phones that does not have the option to edit the APN.
    In my case, the option to edit the APN was acidentally turned off by me, when I typed "disabled" in apn setings and then rebooted, but I know some people have this function locked originally.
    Back to the main subject, a Brazilian blog develop a webapp (yes, no jailbreak needed, great!) that can do this for you.
    Just open Safari on your iphone and type: apn.blogdoiphone.com then selec the third option "Desabilitar Dados" in the menu then click "Instalar Perfil", then Safari will download a file which extesion is ".mobileconfig" which will automaticaly configure your apn settings.The app uses a false APN that does not exist anywhere, so I supose this should work for everybody.
    I've already used and it worked, if you used and it worked or not reply.

    Why is it that you feel because someone doesn't need the data feature that the iPhone isn't for them? Would you rather carry around a cell phone and an iPod Touch when you can carry around an iPhone? Probably not, why carry around two products when you can carry one. I'm not a girl and don't have a purse either, therefore it would be a pain to carry around two devices. Sure you can get other phones that have the MP3 and stuff, but none that are as nice as the iPhone/iPod Touch. For some people this would be a logical idea, have the iPhone that can only be used for calls and sms/mms (mms for certain countries) messages and then the iPod features.

  • The endless message telling me that I've turned off cellular data for a given app is driving me crazy

    Like many of you I don't have an unlimited data plan anymore. So I've chosen to turn off the ability for some things to download anything unless it's on WiFi. In spite of this the d@#ned phone keeps telling me that I need to turn on cellular dat for "pick the app". I'd wish the phone would shut up and just work. Wait a mnute! Wasn't that one of the original slogans Apple had?

    Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.
