Donegal border region - can only connect to NI networks

[DanielM3232]

Hi folks, hope someone can help.

As per the title, I live in Donegal on the border to NI and can't pick up any networks that aren't all UK. Any suggestions? Open to anything as it constantly shows that I'm roaming.

You mean you can't see and connect to 48 at all?

Even if you do a manual search for networks?

Note that it will always show that you're roaming even when you're connected to the 48 network.

That's just how MVNO "virtual" networks such as 48 work.

Do you know any other 48 users in your vicinity to see if they can connect ok?

If you can't connect to 48 and can only connect to NI networks then you may need to contact 48 support for further assistance.

When I manually search I only get vodafone, o2, 3, but all are listed as UK. I'm unable to connect to data or anything without having to activate roaming in settings. An odd one for sure but I'll give the email a try

Seems odd alright. Were you ever able to get 48 on that phone in your area or away from the border?

Any other 48 users in your area?

I've only received the sim today and haven't had a chance to test it fully bar the usual outside and indoor tests. No other 48 users from my knowledge but the other Three IE users in this household get a usable signal
