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!
Yep, add me to the list. Coverage between Toronto and Ottawa, and really anywhere in the Ottawa Valley (Carleton Place, Arnprior, Pembrooke, etc.) is embarassing.
Yes, I have data roaming enabled on my iPhone 7 and this problem began immediately when I switched from Rogers to Videotron. I have the least reliable internet of my friends or family when I leave the Ottawa core.
It's nice to save a few bucks, but if you can't provide service outside of Ottawa then this should be immediately clear when signing up for Videotron! I'd much rather pay more to get reliable service.
it's weird that you are having all sorts of problem with data "roaming" either in Canada or elsewhere in the world.
I've used my device a few times between Montreal and Toronto... and also everywhere on the road between Montreal and Buffalo/Boston/New York/Washington DC/Syracuse or when lending in Las Vegas or San Francisco.
I never had a single issue with my iPhone X and iPhone 7... and it's working well also on my wife's iPhone 7 Plus.
Maybe there's someting different with our plans or sim card? we both have a Canada/USA plan that we both got some time ago and the newest sim card.
