US Data roaming

BPD

I couldn’t get a data, talk, text US roaming plan to work after toggling roaming on etc.  Web pages and map apps wouldn’t come in - spinning only.  On iPhone SE went to Cellular and under SIMS , Primary, Voice and Data I changed from 5G auto to LTE.  Then it all worked properly.  I even later switched from LTE back to 5G auto and all kept working.  I don’t know why but that appeared to be fix.

@BPD your issue is not just a network mode problem, but you need to test the different IS providers 

Critical part to US roaming depends on T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon coverage and whether you can connect successfully onto either network.

If the phone is not connecting to T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon, change the Network Connection from Automatic to Manual and select and test each of the three and see which one you can connect and work best

If your issue is with data, make sure your Roaming Mobile data is enabled and you have disabled your mobile data limiter.  Also change your network mode to 4G (and don't try 5G until you can connect and works on 4G)

If your issue is with voice, use the IMEI checker to check if your phone is VoLTE whitelisted by PM here:

If your phone is capable with PM's VoLTE, you might want to enable VoLTE on your device if you see the option there (although most phones would have that enabled already and the option is hidden)
If your phone is not on PM's VoLTE whitelist, you might need to use some VoIP app like TextNow as a workaround
