Re: Meizu Pro5 Carrier Issues
Im not sure it applies, but for few weeks, I had two sim cards in my pro5,
(one of that was in roaming - since I was lazy wanted to leave it there)
In this setup i've also experienced network issues, but then i've removed
the roaming sim from the outer slot and suddenly everything was just fine.
