[Bug 1499342] Re: National Roaming not working

 

@mzanetti, thanks for the logs. If the N9 shows "o2 - de" that means
that probably it considers that it is roaming, otherwise it would not
show the country code.

The fact that your wife's SIM shows both networks as available is
probably due to having a more modern SIM, which could contain
information to know which operators are considered home network. Is that
SIM post-merger? I guess there is no problem in being registered in one
or another network with it. You can check list-modems output to know the
MCC/MNC of the network you are registered to, in NetworkRegistration
properties.

Finally, maybe some kind of first-time registering was needed in order
to see O2's network as available. If your phone returns to a state where
it cannot register to O2 network, it would be interesting to try forcing
the registration with:

/usr/share/ofono/scripts/test-network-registration /ril_0
/ril_0/operator/26207

even if access is forbidden. If you can register to O2's after that we
could consider showing all networks, including forbidden ones, in
system-settings, as a way to unlock this situation.

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.
