    Roaming whammy - US Networks change requirements for roaming

    Follow up to my opening post. I did a lot of research and figured out a few additional factoids about the new roaming challenge in the United States. The key is the phone's ability to use the Voice over the Internet (VoIP) technology during disasters such as tornados, fires etc. It's a...

    Roaming whammy - US Networks change requirements for roaming

    This must have happened between August 2024 when I departed the US and March 2025 when I arrived back in the US on a visit. Usually my Sony Xperia phone is quick to get a MTN roaming signal in the US with top US Networks, and the signal always had great strength. Rocket fast. I've been using...

    How can I get hold of a LIVE MTN technician who is a boffin on roaming?

    Thank you @netstrider My hope was that a technician from MTN would pick up on this discussion topic and get the message through to the roaming division of MTN. On 13 February 2024, roaming in Mexico is still unavailable. My last roaming session to keep my SIM alive I had to travel to up...

    How can I get hold of a LIVE MTN technician who is a boffin on roaming?

    @Impimpi I think Telkom is awesome too. Especially with SIM WiFi. I'm a real believer in their good service. I love how I could manage all of my SIM WiFi cards and Mini Router and Huawei bigger router on my desktop, and the unbelievably good speeds I had been getting. My dilemma is using a...

    How can I get hold of a LIVE MTN technician who is a boffin on roaming?

    How can one get hold of a live MTN technician who is knowledgeable about roaming. From May this year to date I've successfully roamed with my MTN Prepaid Account (dated 2017) in England, Canada and the US until end of October when I travelled to Mexico. I suspect there is a problem as...

    MTN Roaming Woes in Mexico Who to Contact?

    Still unable to roam in Mexico. Today I took a huge leap and flew to Mexico City. Movistar, MTN's supposedly roaming partner said that if the roaming worked, then it would definitely work in Mexico City. And it didn't work. Message that comes up is: Sim 1: Selected network unavailable. Sim...

    MTN Roaming Woes in Mexico Who to Contact?

    So a woeful update to my post. I visited Movistar TECHNICAL office today. Movistar is one of the 3 biggest networks in Mexico.They did research on MTN roaming in Mexico. So they found that the roaming partner that MTN lists for Mexico - Telefonica Movilles - is MTN's roaming partner in Spain and...

    MTN Roaming Woes in Mexico Who to Contact?

    Yes WiFi and my Whatsapp work brilliant in Mexico for now. WIFI is easily obtained either cheap or free and is of excellent quality in Mexico. But ABSA and a couple of my other accounts need phone verification. So I need roaming in Mexico to work. I need someone at MTN with the right...

    MTN Roaming Woes in Mexico Who to Contact?

    So I have been travelling internationally now for a few months already. Kept my MTN LTE SIM alive with buying airtime regularly and phoning. Doing everything that is required. MTN roaming worked excellent in the uk, Canada and US. And then boom no network connection in Mexico. I know my SIM...

    How/Where login (windows) into MTN account to see status(pre-paid)?

    I agree with Alexania. What devs are employed by MTN? Possibly they don't know what a laptop or desktop computer looks like. Compare this with Telkom Prepaid Account (I have two Telkom prepaid SIM cards working with USB Routers), where I can easily manage my subscriptions, no wonder MTN...

    TDAmeritrade No Longer Deals with South Africa

    Looks like South Africa isn't the only one to have been dropped by TDAmeritrade if you check this Web page: https://brokerchooser.com/broker-reviews/td-ameritrade-review/td-ameritrade-account-opening The blog mentions 15 countries, and it would seem that a large percentage of those in the list...
