Partner network data connectivity issues
When I roam on to a partner network (usually partner1), i sometimes get a "x" on my signal bar. it works for text and phone calls, but not for data. I have to restart my phone 5-6 times before the "x...
I'm replying to my own message - I was just in Las Vegas for vacation and had no issues using my phone in the US for talk, text or data. We think the issue was the signals were just not strong enough when we were on the east coast. Definitely helpful for using Maps when driving, and signals were quite strong - even when going through Death Valley!
I have an iphone 7 with the borderless plan and when I was in New England (Maine, NH, Mass) in August I was able to get on the local network and make calls/receive text messages but I was not able to access any data at all, which is part of the reason I signed up for this plan, specifically for using data - Google Maps - while travelling. Everything is enabled. My husband has iPhone 6 and the same plan and he was not able to access data either. We just signed up with Videotron in July so our SIM cards are brand-new. Any thoughts on connecting to US data?

Same issue I had but with Pixel 2 X...also around MA, NH area. A few restarts (or selecting network manually) would sometimes get data but it would always dissapear after a bit.
when you say "everything is enabled", this is including data roaming on your device?
(you need to enable this option to be able to use other networks in Canada and elsewhere in the world).
that said, I'm might be going to Burlington VT this weekend or next weekend...
I will report back when if I go.
It worked really fine when I was in Vegas in June... so I guess it will still work fine there in the few days.
for those that have an iphone and would like to try something...
install the latest iOS 12 public beta (the last beta is very stable). This might help to fix some data problems on iPhone.
