Setting up data on your phone
Data lets you browse the web, make HD Voice/VoLTE calls, and send or receive picture messages and group texts. It’s essential to have the correct settings to get started. Follow the steps below to set up your phone for seamless data access.
iPhone data settings
iPhones generally work with data immediately after activation. If you run into any issues, update your carrier bundle:
