But I had to go to my carrier and turn on the data for the phone. Also I had to launch Pokemon Go then tap the button, go to settings before it showed up. This is not a step by step as you are a seasoned user.

perhaps you have limited connection? Meaning you have used all the data you had for that month or other time period and now you're stuck with very slow down/up speeds.
