HI @fixin1 

I also think it is for 911 only  And in fact, usually we can just leave the network settings to Automatic and dial 911 and the phone would try to roam on any available network and make that 911 calls.

HI @Chalupa_Batman 

I am ok to help to post this outage alert LOL

but great suggestion, you will submit a ticket and ask them.  Except I doubt it will be done anytime soon.  🙂

that is for 911 fallback only, not for regular call

@slusagm - Here is a picture - It may take a few minutes to connect.

@fixin1 

did you try EXT there and work? from what I know, only some area in BC has EXT work with Rogers only.  The EXT could be there but most cannot be connected

[fixin1]

With Fallback coverage via Rogers (Bell & TELUS may be both down because there is no core network in Pictou, NS.) You will see 'EXT' instead of 'Public Mobile'. If you are unable to get coverage, please change the network over to EXT. (See pictures below as example)

Select EXT if you are unable to auto connect to it.You will see EXT in Carrier Name

You know @hTideGnow you have a good idea here. In reality, they should be having this in a sticky up top and updating it when there are outages. You should recommend that to PM.
