Hi, 

raising this as I have lost all hope here. If unfixed, I will just moved providers.

 

Iphone 14 pro, my roaming has never worked. Roaming is on in the app and phone, and network provider also tick off from automatic.

this is extremely frustrating to say the least, I travel all over Europe, Spain, Italy, Greece… never worked.

 

any suggestions that can change my world?!

 

thanks

Hi ​@Sunbul Othman.

Sorry to hear about this.

Have you tested your SIM in their handset? If the SIM works fine it will be the settings on your handset.

If you are still abroad we can PM you to troubleshoot the issue.

Yet again I have had the problem in France.  All networks that I have tried have been either 3G or 4G.  On entering Luxembourg, my iPhone 13 initially logged on to a 4G network - still no data.  The phone then switched to a 5G network and ‘hey presto’, all was fine, full data available.  On going back into France, 4G, no data.  In UK, 3G and 4G are not an issue, but it appears to be so with the French networks.

Hi ​@SGJ 

 

I’m sorry to hear that, I’m unsure what would cause this to happen with the French networks specifically beyond those French networks having their own local issues which we’d have little to no control over.

Continuing the saga.  I have recently returned from another trip to the EU.  In France, the iD Mobile sim would connect with several of the French networks, but only giving 3G and no data, in particular on Orange F.  However, my Swiss e-sim (Digital Republic) connected at the same time to Orange F giving 5G and full data.  Same network, but 5G with data versus 3G without, Please explain.  I think it is time to change UK network.

Hi ​@SGJ 

 

We do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Could you confirm where in France you were located?

As thing could play a big role in your network issues and reason for the network being bad.

The problem existed throughout my time in France over a period of 6 days, travelling from the Swiss border at Jougne up to the coast at Calais, via Chèzy-sur-Marne to the east of Paris.  Throughout this time, my Digital Republic e-sim functioned perfectly.
