Question

Roam beyond not working in USA.

The 10GB roam beyond I purchased is not working in Memphis USA. I am having to rely on free WiFi in restaurants and hotels. 

How do I fix this issue? I have tried switching my phone off and back on but still not working.

    Try manually selecting a network rather than letting the phone decide which one to use.

    Hi ​@Peterc59 

     

    Thank you for getting in touch, and I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble using your 10GB Roam Beyond allowance while in Memphis. I understand how inconvenient it is to rely on Wi-Fi when you should be able to use your mobile data.

     

    To help get this working, please check the following steps:

    • Make sure roaming is enabled on your handset

               Go to your phone’s settings and ensure Data Roaming is switched on.

    • Check roaming is active on your iD Mobile app

               Please open the iD Mobile app and confirm that roaming is enabled on your account.

    • Bill cap set to £0

             Your bill cap is currently set to £0. This is to protect you from out-of-plan charges. Your Roam Beyond data will still work within your allowance, but charges outside this won’t be possible unless the bill cap is increased.

    • Manually select a network

                Please try manually selecting a network instead of automatic selection. In the USA, our partner networks are:

                AT&T

               T-Mobile

               You can do this by going to your phone’s Network Settings → Network Operators → turn off automatic selection → choose AT&T or T-Mobile.

    Hi Owethu M, 

    All those settings are correct. 

    When I switch manual network selection no networks are available. 

    Regards, 

    Peter

    Hi Welsh Paul, 

    Thank you for your suggestion but when I switch from automatic selection I just get the spinning wheel for while and then it stops and nothing is found.
