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 also experienced this last night. It was the first time I have roamed to Partner1 since I have my new phone (a Oneplus 6) and was getting an indication in the Android App Phono which gives system data on your phone and network that "SIM data was off". I was able to connecto to voicemail while in this state and I never had an issue with this on my old phone which was a Samsung Note 4 but I did get a new SIM for my new phone as it uses a nano vs. a micro SIM. I have confirmed the APN on the phone is configured correctly as well.
I have the same problem. Soon as I leave the Videotron network area, whether I am on the 401, Toronto, or in the US, as long as it's some partner network, I lose mobile data connection. Sometimes if I restart my phone, I get data back. But after a while it would drop again. I don't want to have to restart my phone repeatedly to use mobile data when not on Videotron. It is very inconvenient. Can someone help please?

do you have data roaming enabled?
that said, I have an iPhone X with the latest LTE/VoLTE sim from Videotro. I never had any issue with data on the partner network or while using my device in the USA.
I have enabled data roaming, yes.
