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 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.

which phone do you have?
you shouldn't have any problem with "roaming" in Canada or elsewehre in the world if data roaming is enable... unless some bands are not available on your device. (the 700MHz bands are really usufull in some rural part of the USA and some part in Canada to get the best coverage).
I do have some issues sometimes on the 401 between Montreal and GTA... but that's with all providers (my co-worker on Bell has issues too). But besides that, me and my wife never had any issues in Ontario (ex in the GTA) or for all of our travels in the USA (Mainly Buffalo, Syracuse, Net York City, Boston, Albany NY, San Francisco, Las Vegas... ).
This was mainly with iPhones (6s, 7 or X).
I've recently went to Las Vegas and I was using heavily my device during that time... data and calls were perfect (somtimes on T-Mobile... other times on AT&T).... speed were not extremely fast... but it was most of the time in the 15-20mbits range minimum.
I have the exact same issue. In Montreal, data acces is no problem. WHenever I travel abroad, it works for a couple of minutes and stop. does not matter how many times i reboot the phone. it is an iPhone 6 and a videotron sim card that I hope is good since I got it only 2 months ago... this is very frustrating..
