Graphene OS mobile data won't work

Limds

Hi, all. I'm new to GrapheneOS and just started using it today on a Pixel 8a. My carrier is Total Wireless (Verizon's no-contract branch). Calling, texting and wifi all work great, but I can't connect to mobile data at all. Ive tried playing with the settings, but I can't get it to do anything. Any suggestions?

Limds Did you check that the APN settings are correct? Is it a SIM or eSIM? Try using a cellular settings reset.

It is a SIM. I tried changing the APN from the default to the Verizon option, but to no effect. I'll try resetting cellular settings.

I reset cellular & network settings. Still no luck :(

I tried manually putting in the ADN and it says its connected, but it won't load any webpages. This is incredibly frustrating.

I just tried to look up that service to understand it's options, how it might be administrated etc.

Went via a verizon page ( https://www.verizon.com/about/news/total-wireless-limited-time-switch-offer ) which recommended to get more info on a dedicated website https://www.totalwireless.com/ .

Unfortunately, that website only gives a box with an error message:

Their webpage should be independent from their mobile data service, but who knows. Maybe they have a bigger problem atm?

Besides that, is there any administrative surface or other way where you could double-check that they registered the correct data volume for you?

Commonly occurs when using a VPN or proxy.
