[Bug 1499342] Re: National Roaming not working

 

now, look at that:

I've put my sim card back into the Ubuntu and surprise: o2 now shows up
in the cellular settings.

a new scan-for-operators gives this now (I've stripped the still
forbidden Telekom and vodafone networks):

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ /usr/share/ofono/scripts/scan-for-operators /ril_0
Scanning operators on modem /ril_0...
[ /ril_0/operator/26203 ]
    MobileNetworkCode = 03
    Name = simyo
    MobileCountryCode = 262
    Technologies = gsm umts 
    Status = current

[ /ril_0/operator/26207 ]
    MobileNetworkCode = 07
    Name = o2 - de
    MobileCountryCode = 262
    Technologies = gsm umts 
    Status = available


So this seems to indicate a first-time registration issue with the Ubuntu phone, doesn't it?

If needed my wife still has a simyo card which has only been in a Ubuntu
Phone ever since the roaming is enabled. I can provide test results or
debug logs from that card still, given that mine seems to be activated
now.

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.
