How to I get data in Canada

I called and got signed up for international data and can't actually get connected and get my email and data. Phone is working ok and I have been in the "settings, cellular data, and have everything enabled.....but it still doesn't work. I have also tried to connect to different carriers and reboot....no luck. Any suggestions would be great as I need to get connected for work email.

You might try "Resetting Network Settings", which is done by going: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, and then going back in to Settings>Cellular and make sure your roaming is still enabled.

Hope that helps!
