Weird Partner network issues
I was away recently for a week on holidays. The Videotron setup for partner networks gave me grief during this travel. Basically Bell seemed to unwilling to allow me to use their towers especially for any type of data. Where we happened to have our rental cottage the strongest cell signal was from either Bell or Telus aka Videotron PTRNR2. The only way I was able to get service was to force my cell phone to use Videotron PTRNR1 aka Rogers. I use very little data and was not being blocked for usage. I got nowhere with Videotron support trying to figure out why I was unable to leverage Videotron PTRNR2 that whole period of travel. Normally from my home auto network selection works and uses a Videotron tower by default. Forcing Rogers works too. Three Videotron PTRNR2 appear once each for LTE and 3G. I believe two of those for cell tower 219050 refuse to allow connections both using LTE and 3G. From home I can never connect to the strongest Videotron PTRNR2 i.e. Bell cell tower eNB 219050 in Kanata, ON. The error there is different though as it won't connect at all vs. simply connecting and refusing to provide any data service. Using Cell Mapper I can see the phone trying to connect to that Bell cell tower using various frequencies and failing each time. Anyone know why that is or why Bell seemed to not allow data at all during my travel in Ontario?2 kVues0like1CommentaireRe: Call forwarding on a mobile phone
I eventually after some hoops I found the MMI codes for forwarding do work with VoLTE turned on my profile with the Google Pixel 4A. I'm going to switch to a Google Pixel 5 for compatibility. Videotron support can check if a given VoLTE phone is compatible with their network.5,2 kVues0like0CommentaireRe: Call forwarding on a mobile phone
It is like pulling teeth to get a list of working MII codes out of Videotron. For me the codes mentioned here work as long as VoLTE is turned off on your cellular profile. Turning VoLTE on, which is increasingly needed for reliable cell service, breaks call forwarding for me on multiple unlocked phones. The current FAQ for mobility around international calls says: "You may only forward calls to numbers in Canada or the United States. If you forward calls to a phone number outside your local calling area, you will be billed the usual long-distance charges if calls are taken or forwarded to voice mail." Basically if you can forward your phone you can try it and it might work with surcharges.5,2 kVues0like0Commentaire
