Data not working in Saint Lucia

I’m in Saint Lucia now and my data add-on that I paid (Latin America Zone 4) for is not working. I’m connected to the local cell network (FLOW) but no LTE or 4G icon appears and data not working. What can I do?

My wife’s phone, also on Fizz, is the same.

Thanks

    Did you enable international data roaming on your phone?

    you need to enable data roaming in your phone and select the network operator in automatic

    I did. I travel quite a bit and this is the first time I’ve had this problem.

    Try to manually select the other operator in St Lucia, Digicel, I believe. See if you get service there.

    It should be as in the USA sometime you need to manually switch operator for some temporary problem

    Tried that yesterday, but didn’t work either. Now I don’t even see Digicel in the network list anymore.

    I feel like this is a Fizz problem, like the travel add-on wasn’t applied properly or something.

    Check that on Fizz website. Under My plans, Mobile and your number, you should see an entry Add-on Travel. See if your data on is listed there.

    Check your Access Point (APN) settings on your phone. This may or may not be possible depending on what phone model you have.

    The official Fizz FAQ is here: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/what-are-fizz-network-settings-apn

    iPhone
    Check if you have a menu entry
    Settings→Cellular→SIMs(Select Fizz)→Cellular Data Network
    Most likely, you won't have this entry as Fizz is telling your phone to hide it.
    While connected to Wi-Fi and running iOS 18.3.1, you can also try to get a manual carrier settings update, by going to Settings→General→About and wait for a Carrier Settings Update prompt which may or may not appear. If none appears, check if under Carrier it says Fizz 62.0. I believe this to be the most recent profile.

    Android
    Log into your Fizz account on the web.
    Go to My plans → Mobile (Your phone number) → Manage plan → Everything else → Advanced parameters → Fizz network parameters → Send to my phone.
    If that doesn't work or it tells you to do the setup manually, you have to find the APN in your phone menu.
    Where exactly to find this option depends on the phone vendor, Android version and cell network operator. Something like this:
    Settings -> Connections -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names
    Settings -> Network & internet -> Mobile network -> Advanced -> Access Point Names
    The behaviour of this menu is somewhat unpredictable because it again depends on phone vendor, Android version and cell network operator. You may see the profile in use, but can't edit it, or you may see some profiles that are not in use and the used profile is hidden. You may be able to add profiles or you may not, depending on the data you enter, which is again due to Fizz restricting what a user can do.
    These are the settings that I am seeing (in BOLD what I believe is most relevant):
    Name: Fizz
    APN: mobile.bm
    Proxy: Not set
    Port: Not set
    Username: Not set
    Password: Not set
    Server: Not set
    MMSC: Not set
    MMS proxy: Not set
    MMS port: Not set
    MCC: 302
    MNC: 500
    Authentication type: Not set
    APN type: default
    APN protocol: IPv4
    APN roaming protocol: IPv4
    Enable/disable APN: Enabled
    Bearer: Unspecified
    Mobile virtual network operator type: GID
    Mobile virtual network operator value: 55

    Thanks. I have an iPhone. Confirmed Fizz 62.0 carrier settings and no update available. Guess will reach out to support.
