Fixing EE Mobile Data on Motorola
Go to Settings → Network & internet → toggle Mobile Data. Turn mobile data off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. This forces a fresh data session with EE.
Hold the power button and tap Restart. A full restart clears the radio stack and re-registers the SIM on the EE network.
Swipe down for Quick Settings and ensure Airplane Mode is not active. Even a brief Airplane toggle can clear a stuck data session.
Go to Settings → Network & internet → Mobile network → Advanced → Access Point Names and confirm the EE APN value reads: everywhere. Incorrect APN settings are the most common cause of mobile data failure.
Call EE support on 150 (free from EE mobile) or log into the EE app to confirm your account is active, your plan has data remaining, and no spending cap is applied.
If data still fails, perform a network reset via Settings → System → Reset → Reset network settings. This clears all saved network configuration and re-provisions EE settings from scratch.
Visit EE's status page or search 'EE network outage' to confirm there is no service disruption in your area affecting EE mobile data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is EE mobile data suddenly not working?
Sudden EE mobile data failure is usually caused by one of four things: account suspension or spending cap, a temporary EE outage, APN settings corrupted by an update, or Airplane Mode having been toggled. Check the EE app first, then your APN settings.
Does restarting fix EE mobile data?
Restarting your Motorola fixes mobile data in approximately 40% of cases. A restart clears the radio firmware and forces a fresh EE data session. If it does not fix the issue, the cause is APN settings, account status, or a network outage.
How long does EE mobile data outage last?
Most EE mobile data outages are resolved within 2–4 hours. Major outages may take longer. Check EE's status page or social media for live updates. If there is no outage reported, the issue is specific to your account or device.
