IPhone 4S data is not working?

I have an iPhone 4S, 16GB with Virgin Mobile, and my data isn't working. The phone displays 3G, and I get between 3-5 bars, but every time I attempt to load a web page, it displays "Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service". Placing/receiving calls and texting still work, however. This isn't a location specific issue either.

I've tried dialing ##UPDATE# to activate "Starting Service Update" probably hundreds of times, unfortunately it always comes back as "Service Update Failed".

I've also reset Network Settings, and this did nothing for my iPhone.

I've called Apple and Virgin Mobile but they couldn't fix this issue. Virgin Mobile doesn't have an outage at the moment. Some of my friends have VM, and their phones work just fine.

The phone works flawlessly when connected to Wi-Fi

Added (1). I'm unsure whether it's a phone or service issue

Added (2). The Virgin Mobile iPhone does not have a SIM card.

I'm having the same problem and its driving me crazy, I have the same service as you and I've called virgin and apple also and have gotten no where, have you had any luck?

I have the exact same problem. Virgin mobile (email and phone support) has not been able to help, this started last weekend around 2/9. Virgin's support incompetence is getting quite annoying.

  • Rogers LTE data plan not Working on iPhone 5? Well my dad was going to cancel the contract but he decided to try the 3GB talk text and Internet data plan. But the problem is when I try to connect it to the data network, this message box pops up, saying:"Can't Activate Cellular Data Network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service." I tried resetting network settings, but it didn't help.
