Why won't my iPhone 5c connect to the internet without wi-fi?

This is so strange, but I can't use my iPhone 5c apps when I'm not connected to wifi. This makes no sense because I have a data plan. It's not unlimited, but I've already checked with my carrier, and my data for the month has barely been used. The internet simply doesn't work without wi-fi. I've tried everything short of restoring the phone to its factory settings. I've done a hard reset by pressing the home and power buttons at the same time, powered the phone off and on several times. I've tried resetting the network settings. Nothing has worked. On wi-fi, my phone will work just fine. I can connect to all my apps and the internet. But on LTE or 3G, I can't even send an iMessage.
I really don't want to have to head into the Apple store and get a new phone, but I will if no one can figure out what's wrong. I'm about to try a full restore to factory settings after backing everything up to my computer. So we'll see how it goes.

I would check under settings < cellular that everything is turned on (or at least for the apps you want to use cellular data)
But with having mulitiple issue on cell data, it sounds like a possible issue the carrier would want to address. '

  • Why won't my iphone 3 connect to the internet but will connect to wifi?

    Could someone please help me? I have a Iphone 3G 4.2.1. I can connect with wifi, but as soon as I turn wifi off or get out of range  of wifi I cannot connect. I do have a data package on my service. How can I fix this? Thanks

    If YES then switch it to OFF
    Then wait for ten seconds and switch ON again

    Good luck

  • Why won't my Macbook pro connect to the internet, yet my desktop PC will?

    My 13 inch Macbook Pro was purchased back in March of this year, but recently I've been unable to connect to the internet. Within the network settings it says that my Airport is on and has a self assigned IP and that both the ethernet and firewire are not connected. Yet when on my desktop PC, everything seems to be working fine. I've concluded that it couldn't be my router, at least I'm pretty confident it's not.
    I've tried the usual reboot, unplug router routine but it still won't budge.
    Please help!

    Just connected my ethernet cable directly to my macbook, and the internet is working fine. So is this an issue with my router then?

  • My iPhone 4S connects to the internet without wifi?

    Trying to share my iPhone's internet connection wit my other apple devices, but I cannot because the personal hotspot option is not there. Does it have anything to with the following: My iPhone, inside or outside the house, connects to he internet without being connected to a wifi network. Is this why? If not, how can I connect my devices?

    Can both MacBook Pros see other Wi-Fis, just not yours? What is the make & model of your wireless router/gateway device? If this device supports Ethernet connections, can both MBPs gain network/Internet access this way?

  • Why won't my macbook air connect to the internet?

    I recently arrived at my relatives house and connected to their guest internet via password. I opened network preferences, selected the network, and it connected. Then when I went to google chrome and safari, I was sent to a page where a login password was required. I entered this password and surfed the internet until mid day. Then this evening I went to log on to the internet and my macbook air wouldn't bring up the log in page like it had earlier this morning and yesterday evening. My iPod touch connects just fine, and so do the windows computers in the house. There is a three-device limit for the guest internet, but currently there is only one computer on it. I tried restarting my macbook several times, I deleted the account from the list of frequently accessed wifi spots, but nothing seems to work. Help please! And nothing too technical, I'm not really too computer savvy. Thanks.

    I recently had a similar problem.  I tried many solutions that others propsed.
    My particular solution, I "looked" into my Westell router and found its IP address. Seeing the other 5 devices (all were working on the internet), I saw how the ending number of the address identified the particular device on the router. I went to the System Preferences on the MacBook Air, opened up Network, chose Advanced and went to the tab TCP/IP and then in the Configure IPv4 address pull down used the manual DHCP and entered a new number that was 12 higher than another computer. 
    Example 192.168.200.1 was router, another computer was 192.168.200.68 and I gave the Air .80 as the last number.  It worked!
    I don't know what will happen when I return to my usual home network where it was working as well as on others.
    Best of luck to all who have this problem.

  • Why won't my Power Book connect to the internet via Airport (AEBS) ?

    Since getting a new Broadband provider and ADSL modem (before I had cable modem which worked perfectly) which is cabled up to my EMAC (with Airport card) I cannot connect my Power Book to the internet ? I have reconfigured and hopefully set the preferences correctly on both computers i.e. Personal Web sharing- On, Internet sharing -On etc.
    I can send files between the two computers and they connect to my network fine, but the Power Book cannot get the internet. Can anyone please help ?

    Personal Web Sharing is not necessary.
    I believe VickyMC is using her eMac to share the Internet account to her PowerBook. She has Personal Web Sharing enabled so that the ports are opened to allow access through the eMac to the Internet.

  • Why doesn't my iphone 5 connect to the internet since I updated to ios7?

    I download the ios 7 on my iphone 5 and now it won't recognize my password to my internet what can I do to fix this or take the ios 7 off?

    So it wont take your WiFi password you mean?
    Did you have to restore?  The password should've been saved if it was already connecting on 6 prior to updating to 7.
    I would reset network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) at the same time I would power cycle the router/modem (Unplug the power cable(s), wait 30 seconds, plug them back in) and attempt connecting again.
    Do you get an error when trying to connect or does it just keep spinning like its thinking/trying to connect?

    If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

    I had an app which disables an iPhone to connect to the internet via mobile network. In the meantime I have deleted that app but it still affects my phone. For example iPhone shows that 3G sign on the top (next to the time) but it is unable to open any website. Is there anything I can do about it?

    What was the app you are referring to? I'm not aware of anything on the app store that is designed to do that, unless you're talking about an app that was causing a problem...
    Was/is your phone jailbroken?
