Roaming SIM

darijadaca — Sun, 28 Aug 2016 17:23:41 GMT

I recently got my new SIM and paid for membership, but at the signal bar it has 'R' for roaming. Also, when I try to call someone it says 'The SIM card you are about to use is roaming. Do you want to continue?' Any reason why this is happening?

Can you call out & text anyway despite the Roaming message?

48 is an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator)

In essence, we are Roaming on the 48 Network.

Never let the roaming icon worry you, while on your home Network (48) - it will not see you incur a charge like if you were on a contract with a provider and found yourself roaming - it is different on 48.

Further...

You can disable the Roaming warning via the Settings/Mobile Networks (etc) route on your handset, perhaps you might concider this if it continues/is frustrating for you...

Not all phones allow the roaming "R" to be disabled.

If there's no option for this (often something like "Enable national data roaming") then you just have to live with it.

It's no harm and doesn't mean that you incur any additional costs etc.

Hope this helps.

Did that help at all?
