Roaming in the home zone

will13am — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 07:24:22 GMT

Anybody ever experience this? It happened yesterday coming out of the subway system where I had no signal. Momentarily, I was "roaming" on the Bell network. Oddly, the service state was out of service though. So, I was connected but not really connected. The signal strength made no sense either. The signal strength was zero, but my notification bar shows full strength.

@sheytoon Time to call the expert and moderator?

My guess is a glitch on your phone showing some cached information.

You didn't connect to any network

I don't need a moderator for this. My phone is fine. This was a temporary state that lasted maybe 30 seconds, just long enough for a screen cap. I connected to the Public Mobile network soon after. I am just posting this to see if anyone else has experienced this oddity. I come out of the subway system via the same exit all the time. This was the time that this happened.

Bell and Telus(PM) do share spectrum, perhaps that could have something to do with it? I'm not entirely sure but seems to make sense.

I will wait to see what our expert sheytoon will say about this.

@will13am
It's definitely unusual, and I've never noticed it happen myself. When you try to attach to Bell's network, their core will reject you since Telus users are not permitted in their policy. This part happened correctly and you were out of service.

Now in terms of why your phone even tried to attach to Bell (610) instead of Telus (220), I honestly don't know 😞
