Kinda urgent ... problem with international roaming

[darkangel]

Hey,

I activated international roaming about 5 days (I know it's supposed to be at least 7 days) prior to leaving for Romania, and it said it was successfully activated, but now that I'm here, when I try to connect to the networks it says "No Access".

Help! pls

_da.

Check that your phone's network setting is on all bands and on automatic network selection.
If you requested roaming through Autopage or Nashua Mobile, then it probably has not been activated

I requested it via SMS ...

Prepaid
SMS ‘TRAVEL ON’ to 123 (FREE), or contact Vodacom’s dedicated Customer Contact Centre by calling 111, free from your Vodacom cellphone or 082 111 from any other phone.

Two SMSs went through now, so it must be working somehow. Doesn't say which network it is though.

Ok...I go with our intranet site. Maybe it is out of date. Sorry about that.

Was in Romanis last year.
Reboot and manually select Cosmote SA network. No 3g support btw.

I was able to select a network now and send a message, but I'm still waiting to receive messages.

 

[darkangel]

Didn't stick, still getting no access messages ... is there anything you can do?

If not, I'll have to get a local sim card.

Do you only want SMS access?

Do you only want SMS access?

Ideally both SMS and voice.

So no one can help?

PM me your number and I will see if it is provisioned for roaming.

Messages are coming through now, after I restarted my phone.
