Restricted access changed: data service is blocked

I had the problem for quite a while, on a Moto G, and I seem to have fixed it - at least it has not played up for 3 days, whereas lately it happened several times per day.

I found that my phone was set to G2. Changing it to G3 and rebooting did the trick (it does not support G4).

I have no idea what caused the change to G2, I assume it's possible that I did it, but I cannot remember doing so, nor can I imagine why I would have. Finger trouble perhaps?

Hello. I am having the same problem on my Android HTC 626 and AT&T, who is unfortunately my provider, is not able to fix the problem. They have told me turn the phone off for 20 seconds then turn it on which I have already tried before calling them. I have uninstalled apps and cleaned data from the phone. Now I'm waiting for a representative to call me back yet not holding my breath on it. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how were you able to correct it? Thank you.

I have a similar HTC but it's the desire 626s . I was having this exact problem yesterday and didn't understand what was going on so I called my carrier (Cricket) and told them my situation and suggested one of the cell towers that my phone "pings" to is down and after a couple minutes they figure out it was. So after confirming my identity and account they just switched the tower my phone was trying to hold on to and now it works. Hope that helps
