No cell sevice (unless I airplane)
My screen is bigger than yours
I rarely use cell service as I'm on wifi 95% of the time.
Recently I noticed that if I was away from wifi I couldn't load web pages, even though I had at least 2 bars.
I discovered that if I turn airplane mode on and then off I would get service.
It turns out that I have to do that every time.
How do I fix this?
As a side note...I went to Settings/Cellular/Carrier Services and it shows TracFone in blue text. I click on that and, rather than showing me the APN, it takes me to a news web site called mysites.taboolanews.com
Help?
iPhone 7 Plus on Tracfone BYOP.
I hate Apple. (I really miss Android)

You don't see it in my signature?

The device description at the the top of the page"TracFone on At&t" says nothing about the make/model of the phone, hence the confusion. If I understand correctly, you have the iPhone 7+. It would also help to know what version IOS your phone is operating on.Originally Posted by Brian VT

Is it not showing in my signature? It's there on my screens.

It showed in your post #1, but not in your subsequent posts. Even when a phone is listed in your signature, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the phone involved. Some people have several phones listed in their signature.
Why yes, that is a bag phone
You can't change APN setting on iPhone, thats why there isn't an option for it. Carrier sets APN according to sim installed.
You can try texting APN to 611611 and see what the reply is.
Not everyone reads the signature, I know I don't. You want help from the members here please be courteous enough to add all info in your post.

I'll also add that signature display can be turned off under General Settings. I availed myself of this option after one user included ginormous images in their sig.

I never see any signatures while using a mobile browser.
You could try doing a reset of network settings.
Radiation is good
Removing and re-inserting the SIM card - works to permanently solve the problem in some of these cases.
You can activate new service on Tracfone and get $80 by using my referral code (you get 8,000 rewards points - that's $80 in service or a brand new phone!)
You can sign up for Red Pocket and get $25 off your monthly-plan order using my referral code. Feel free to PM me for the codes. Thank you!

I am having this same problem with a new motoGPure. Works normal on wifi but as soon as I am without wifi I have no service. I Talked with a csr for about 45 minutes, trying this and that, call 73(?) turn off wifi, try a call , no go, blah blah blah. Now, we finally got it working I didn't use cellular until about 4 days later, and of course it failed. I tried removing and reinserting the pin, and for now it is working. Turn off wifi and the LTE signal shows up, but it is grayed out.On my G8 The LTE is 'lit.'

This reminds of an old "case" on TF-Verizon. The problem there was bad TF-Verizon signal at the location. The problem was solved only after transferring service to TF-AT&T.
Is it possible your location doesn't have a good signal, and so the phone is basically doing wi-fi calls when it does let you call? I don't know if it's the same thing going on, I'm just throwing this out here in the hope that it helps.
