US Data Roaming is not working, again!

[linkr]

Hello,

I have had hot and miss success with US Roaming. I have just arraived and will be here for one week. The phone works, and text works, but not data. Most application either simply won't work, or say "no internet". I have tried everything:

• Hard booted phone
• Tried 3 G only
• Ensured data roaming is switched on
• Ensured data is switched on for all relevant applications
• Tried switching to other networks
• Etc.

The community tried to help one time, but it wasn't until a ticket was opened and technician looked at it, that it started working. Another time, it never worked. And two other times, it worked perfectly - arghh.  Suggestions?  Thanks!

@linkr   no worry.. glad things work in the end.. that's what important..

and it's good we have this thread .. we learned something from the "kitchen sink", too (no worry.. it's a joke here.. LoL)

 @linkr : Well...questions were asked. We could have identified the problem. But yes only the CSA's can make it right in this case.

To everyone that submitted ideas - thank you. Embarrassingly - this time, it was user error. I had errantly purchased a 1 GB add on, and not a US roaming, 1 GB add on. Public mobile support identified the issue and reimbursed the errant purchase. Once the correct version was purchased, it worked fine 🙂

Easy mistake to make. Glad you got things ironed out.

Now there's a hole where the kitchen sink used to be. Someone's been renovating.

hmmm...and with the kitchen sink how can anything not be repetitive?

Just dump down every possible known suggestion and ___-block everybody else.

Yeah I think this might be a dangerous precedent. I think it has good intentions but...

And we all know and see all the repetition but....

@computergeek541   you are able/allowed to move repetitive posts now?  (or you always able to?)

so, those posts who come back 12 hours later talking the same things can now be moved or "deleted"?

 @linkr : Did you buy roaming data either stand-alone or in a bundle?

Does US data show in your My Data & Add-ons?

Did you buy more than one same-name roaming data?

Did you restart the phone?

Does your data otherwise work here in Canada?

[softech]

You tried both AT&T and T-Mobile, I guess

Still early in the evening, try to open a ticket now and hope they can fix it tonight

I would definitely ask that to tell you what happened since it is a frequent issue

@linkr 

I supposed you've also verified the APN settings?

If the issue is caused by improper SIM provisioning, then indeed you'll need to ask CS for help:

Yikes, not the greatest of experiences with roaming for sure. 😕

If the self trouble-shooting is not fixing it, you may need to go to Customer Support again with a ticket.

It would be nice if roaming was more straightforward and reliable most of the time.
