Cellular data is internet service
0:03
provided by your carrier.
0:06
That's the internet service that you
0:09
subscribe to, activate and use directly
0:12
from your carrier. As against internet
0:15
access you get through a Wi-Fi router.
0:18
The advantage of cellular data is that
0:21
you can stay connected even when you're
0:23
out of your house, out of your office,
0:27
out and about where there is no Wi-Fi
0:29
connection. As long as your carrier or
0:33
mobile network operator has coverage,
0:36
you will be able to stay connected to
0:38
the internet when you use cellular data.
0:42
How does cellular data work? You have to
0:45
subscribe to a data plan from your
0:48
carrier or your mobile network operator.
0:50
So cellular data is not something
0:52
automatic that you just have access to.
0:56
It's either that the bundle you
0:58
purchased from your carrier or network
1:00
operator includes data, includes
1:04
internet or you have to buy a separate
1:08
data bundle in addition to your regular
1:12
air time on your device. In order to
1:14
turn on cellular data on your iPhone and
1:18
make sure it's working, you have to
1:21
first subscribe to a data plan from your
1:24
carrier or your mobile network operator.
1:28
So, reach out to them, access their
1:30
website, send a text message or
1:32
whatever. Some of them have apps where
1:34
you can purchase your mobile data from.
1:37
So download and install those apps, sign
1:40
into your account, purchase your
1:43
cellular data plan, and then you're
1:46
ready to turn it on on your phone and
1:48
start using it. There are two main
1:50
reasons why your cellular data may not
1:53
be working. One, you have not subscribed
1:55
to a data plan or you have exhausted
1:58
your data plan. The other is that you
2:02
had it on before and mistakenly turned
2:04
it off. There is a third. There could be
2:07
network issues from your carrier at the
2:09
moment and all you have to do is get in
2:12
touch with them to say you're having
2:14
problem accessing cellular data on your
2:17
line and they'll look into it once it's
2:19
fixed. You will be able to use it. Once
2:22
again, I said earlier too, but there are
2:24
really three main reasons why cellular
2:25
data may not be working on your iPhone.
2:28
One, you're not subscribed or you have
2:30
exhausted your subscription. Two, you
2:33
have turned it off. three network
2:36
issues. If you have subscribed, you have
2:39
checked and you have an active cellular
2:41
data plan right now, then you are ready
2:44
to have a look at your settings to see
2:46
whether you have turned it on or not.
2:49
Let's go. How do you turn on cellular
2:52
data on that device? From your home
2:55
screen, tap on the settings icon.
2:59
Scroll down. You will see cellular. It's
3:03
the fourth item, cellular.
3:06
And right here, cellular data, it's
3:09
grayed out. That means it's turned off.
3:12
Of course, you have to make sure that
3:14
your SIM card has already been
3:16
provisioned in your your device. If
3:18
there is no SIM card there, the option
3:20
to turn on cellular data will not show
3:23
up. There's a SIM in this as you can
3:25
see. And so, the option to turn it on is
3:28
here. And what do you do? Simple. just
3:32
and when it turns green, cellular data
3:36
has been turned on on this iPhone and
3:40
you can now browse, send internet
3:43
messages, access social media, access
3:46
your email, do everything that you need
3:50
to do on the internet on your iPhone.
3:52
It's that simple. Again, just your
3:55
settings and cellular and then you can
4:00
turn it on there. There is another
4:01
option from your control center. It's a
4:04
shortcut
4:06
here.
4:08
I hope I can capture this as nicely as
4:11
possible. You see this green icon?
4:13
[clears throat] You can see the cellular
4:15
signal there.
4:18
And here it is,
4:21
cellular data. I've tapped it to turn it
4:24
off and I can turn it back on right here
4:27
from the control center. It's that
4:29
simple. So, those are two ways you can
4:32
turn on cellular data on your iPhone and
4:34
you can also turn it off from the same
4:36
location.
4:38
