[Bug 1499342] Re: National Roaming not working

 

Ok. This is interesting:

I've put the card in my old MeeGo based phone and here's what happens:

I don't yet know if automatic roaming works as I would probably need to walk around out side and I haven't done that yet. However, going to system settings -> cellular networks I get all 4 of the above listed. Clicking on "o2 - de" makes it switch to the o2 network successfully. The indicator starts toggling between "simyo" and "o2 - de".
If I click for example on "Vodafone.de" I do get a permission denied popup. 

So the "forbidden" status in our scan-for-operators seems to be the
issue.

Title:
  National Roaming not working

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in ofono package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using a simyo (German E-Plus mvno) and when E-Plus and o2 joined
  forces, they enabled national roaming for 3G data connections
  (https://www.simyo.de/faq/national-roaming-18262.html).

  This however doesn't seem to work at all for me. My device (bq Aquaris
  E 4.5) is stuck in the simyo (E-Plus) network and has never registered
  to the o2 network so far. This is unlike bug 1449990 which claims that
  national roaming would be working if roaming is enabled in the
  settings. I can not confirm that. I have roaming enabled (and
  international roaming works fine), however, national roaming doesn't
  kick in.

  The problem now is, that ever since those operators enabled national
  roaming, the E-Plus network seems to be degrading and now has reached
  a point where I cannot use a mobile data connection inside buildings
  any more.

  Looking at my app download statistics, 25% of all Ubuntu phone users
  seem to be located in Germany. Given that E-Plus has a huge amount of
  mvno's I estimate this issue is affecting a quite large portion of our
  users.
