Tony, thanks for following up on this

I live in holland and have a dutch carrier sim. I was in Switserland last
week of januari (fully updated the phone before I left so I would have been
on something like r150, if thats important).


*Can you clarify what you mean by "But when selected, no data connection is
created"?  Did you mean that when both "cellular data" and "data roaming"
are selected,*

Yes, thats what I did exactly. The local carrier that always appeared
automatically behind the 'carrier' label on the Cellular tab of system
settings was 'Swisscom'.And If i remember correctly, the name of my Dutch
provider appeared behind it in parantheses.
(I am back home now so I am not able to replicate this behavior atm)

*or are you referring to selecting a carrier*

No. That did not work. Refreshing the list of available carriers manualy
resulted in a continiously spinning wheel and not much else, if I am not
mistaken.

*One question, do you know whether or not your SIM card is from a primary
operator ( eg. Orange, T-Mobile US, Telefonica, ... ) or a MVNO ( eg.
Straightalk in the US )?*

I am not quite sure: My dutch carrier is Telfort. It is a subbrand of KPN
Mobile, which is a primary operator. Seeing as Telfort is just a brand
owned by KPN, you might expect it to also be recognized as a primary
operator, but that probably depends on how they implemented the Telfort
network within KPN. I don't know enough about that.

*Lastly, ofono logs messages to the standard syslog ( /var/log/syslog ).
The command "grep ofonod /var/log/syslog" is a quick way to extract these
messages, which can be very useful when diagnosing telephony problems.*

Grep ofonod gets a lot of info. I am afraid I am not a good enough judge on
which bits are relevant so I will gladly leave that up to you and others :)
. I have extracted the entire syslog for the relevant period and posted it
for you guys to have a go at it if you feel like. Here is the link:

 (I will do a formal Launchpad bug against ofono during the weekend)

Hopefully this is all helpfull

cheers

Mat
