No 4G in Spain, 3G ok


Hello there.

I have a new iPhone SE with SIM-only on iD Mobile.

Roaming in Spain (Movistar), 3G data works ok but no 4G. Roaming and 4G voice/data enabled on phone. Another iPhone (non-iD Mobile) sat next to me also connected to Movistar gets good 4G coverage.

Any ideas? Pretty sure 4G was working at home in the U.K. before this trip.

Could you try manually connecting to another network over there to see if this allows you access to 4G?

Kevin,

Thanks for the response.

I did try manual network connection to Orange and Vodafone but got No Service.

I am back in the UK now; 4G working on iD again, no changes to phone setup.

It's completely odd that you weren't able to access a 4G connection @Guejar53.

It's hard for us to investigate international coverage issues as the masts aren't owned by us.
We're glad that you were able to connect to a 3G connection at a bare minimum though.

I have exactly the same problem .Unable to connected to recommended providers Moviestar or Yoigo.Voice connection to Orange which is 3G.

Unless this changes I will have to switch providers since i travel a lot to Spain.

Hi @dh1951,

 

Where abouts in Spain is it you tend to go? Have you never been able to connect, or is this a new development? If it’s new, when did it begin?

Please confirm there is still no 4G signal in Spain -Tenerife.

Hi @dh1951,

 

That isn’t something we’ve ever confirmed. Has this always been the case for you, or is it a new development?
