Ported numbers and international roaming
"Scott" wrote in message
...
I have just returned from a trip to Denmark where I was unable
to use
my Vodafone (pay as you talk) to make calls. Texts worked
fine. I
contacted Vodafone customer services and they told me (1) they
have no
agreement with any Danish network, (2) that I would need to do
a
manual network discovery to make sure I was connected to the
correct
network (thus contradicting 1) then (3) they have no agreement
with
Canada (thus suggesting they had not read my e-mail). I will
be
making my views known.
My question to the experts here is that if I change to another
network
and keep my number, will I be in the same position? Or is the
network
identified by a method other than looking at the phone number?
Thanks
Scott
Two things:
Some overseas operators will not permit PAYG phones to log on if
they don't run a PAYG service themselves.
Look at the Vodafone roaming data. If they don't have an
agreement you can dial a prefix code to gain access.
