Hello everyone,
I have a problem with internet access. I can get it only if function Data Roaming is turned on. I contacted my provider (Tele2) but they could not do anything about that.
So, I don't know how to fix it and where is the problem: in my provider or device itself?
I am not abroad and i don't ant to keep this function on all the time, because it can be rather expensive and i don't thing that should be a a cause of a problem.
Thank you in advance
I know when using operator Onecall I was always roaming when transferring data because Network Norway (wich Onecall lends it network from) have not yet built its own 3G network, so you are roaming between telenor 3G on data transfers, whilst you can make ordinary calls on 2G networks provided by Network Norway. Maybe this is the case with Tele2? Roaming between onecall and telenor was free of charge. Within Norway, of course.
Edit: The reason that roaming is said to be expensive is because you could suddenly be connected to another network where you have no control over what they are charging you. In reality this is no issue for us Norwegians as roaming access is determined by the operator, and they are obligated not charge you anything more than claimed when you signed up.

I am having trouble with my xda abroad, it seems to either never get a gprs connection or if it does can never find a site. Ive soft and hard reset, manually searched for the regional network. When i manually search all i get is it constantly searching any ideas?>
The GPRS capability is service provider dependent. I’ve already used GPRS abroad and it worked with some roaming providers but did not with others in the same country. So I suggest try to switch to a different roaming network if one is failing
:wink:
Pricing
See my previous post on this forum about pricing for GPRS roaming...
As well as some roaming networks charging over £20 per meg, all roaming GPRS networks have a daily charge just for using it - and this will apply per network per APN!!!!
I love WiFi calling at home since we are at the fringe of service {Thank you Froyo!}, but how will it work when we travel to Europe? Can I connect to any "open" WiFi network and make voice calls? How will I be billed? Will a call made in France to the USA be just taken out of my bucket of minutes? Will it be considered International roaming at $1.29 a minute in France? What if I make a local call in France from a France WiFi connection? How will that be billed? I've talked with my local T-Mobile store rep. and he said he was recently in Mexico and could not connect to any local WiFi networks for phone calls. Anyone else have this experience elsewhere OR have you successfully used WiFi calling outside the USA? Of course I plan on getting a local SIM, but I may be switching it a lot if WiFI calling on Tmobile will be a local call back to the USA.
Has anybody tried using WiFi calling outside the USA??? Any help will be appreciated since TMobile doesn't seem to know for certain.
International WiFi Calling
Yes, it works well. i use it all the time in Europe (as well as Asia). Lately, I have been buying a local data sim putting it in a spare android phone with hot spot capability and carrying it around with me. My phone is registered via wifi and 3g to t-mo so all calls in the US are out of my bucket with no additional charges.
Have you tried to make local European Calls while on WiFi? If so were you charged the long distance rate from the USA or the roaming rate of $1.29 a minute in most European countries?

Have you used a local SIM in Japan? With a Vibrant? I'll be in Tokyo in April and am researching data plan options.
Since the Vibrant has tethering and wifi calling with 2.2 a reasonably priced SIM and data plan would be just the ticket.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I have been wresteling with this problem for about 4 weeks now.
The 3G connects and DHCPs an IP address, but is unable to connect with any network.
I have tried different SIM cards, but the same problem persists. Sometimes it works very well, but most of the time it sends traffic yet does not receive traffic.
Sometimes it drops to GPRS when there is a full 3G signal from the same network on other phones next to me on the same network.
I have flashing many stock kernels/radios including the original that came with the phone. Still the 3G is next to useless.
The wireless and all other functions work well.
Has anyone had these problems with their i9100?
The network I use is Tele2 in the Netherlands (Its a virtual network on top of T-Mobile).
Regards.
Hello there just want to make sure is this phonr working on vodafone New Zealand?
A local website says the phone only support vodafone 2G
Vodafone's mobile network operates on the following frequencies:
A 2G GSM voice network on 900/1800MHz (almost every GSM mobile should work on these frequencies)
A 2G GPRS data network on 900/1800MHz
A 3G UMTS data network for voice, video calls and data on 2100MHz
A 3G HSDPA network on 2100MHz
I know in some places voice call and sms are working, not the 3G data

This might answer your question. But looks like it should work on 3g

Watch out, though, people have reported it's not possible to enter customized APNs on the Photon due to Sprint's software customizations. This is necessary for some foreign carriers to have data access.

Shall I just give it a try? It is a lot of money though
My Photon works fine. I'm using it here in the Philippines...
3G is 2100 over here.
Bought it on eBay sealed and untouched. So when I took it out, inserted my SIM, and turned it on, it was trying to get on the Sprint network to activate. Since that wasn't going to happen, I just let it be. Soon enough it got tired and displayed a screen saying activation failed. I clicked OK and then it let me continue onto the phone where I changed the network settings.
I set mine up to "Any GSM/UMTS" and immediately it recognized the new network. I created a new APN to test data and it worked.
The only thing I hate is that whenever I reboot the phone, it always tries to activate. I think maybe I should delete Sprint Zone so that it stops doing that...
Hello,
I just bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S2 over the weekend (probably a France version because the quick start up menu is in French). Everything nice and adorable, except for the roaming signal I got on the phone.
This is normally not a concern if I stay in Toronto (my local zone), but it has potential issues on the data/voice usage because of the two reasons combined:
1. I have to allow Data while Roaming to enable the 3G network when I am out and about, otherwise I don't have a data network.
2. The real problem is, now I don't know when I am in my local zone and when I am actually roaming out of Toronto. The roaming charge for data is appalling to say the least, so I don't want to accidentally incur any roaming data charge while I am driving outbound.
Does anyone know how to fix the roaming signal problem?
Thanks.
