Hi

 

I have tried to call One NZ regarding this; apparently One NZ number no longer works in the UK to receive texts/calls (incoming) it used to work when it was on Vodafone. Has anyone experienced this?

 

Peace,

 

Andrew

@antaeusa1 Have you done a manual network selection to a carrier in the UK?

 

Are you a postpaid or prepaid customer?

I am a prepay customer and have been with Vodafone for more than 15 years previously. How do I select that in the UK? I am in an iPhone 13 - I don't get the option to do so.

@antaeusa1 I had to Google this as I do not use an iPhone

 

From a Home screen, tap. Settings. ...

 

     

  1. Cellular. .
  2. Tap 'Cellular Network' or 'Network Selection'. ...
  3. Automatic switch. ...
  4. Once available networks appear, tap the desired carrier (e.g., Verizon, Vodafone, etc.). ...

 

Look for signal bars.

 

Manual network selection will force the roaming carrier to check in with the home network

Not sure if it matters or not, but was your device purchased from Vodafone/One NZ or Vodafone UK?

Have you checked your account to see if roaming is enabled for the account?

 

Have you checked the phone settings to see if Roaming is enabled View or change cellular data settings on iPhone - Apple Support (NZ) ?

The customer has made contact with me(I just happened to be awake at an ungodly hour). 

 

 

 

Their SIM is not being read at all so that's going to explain a lot of issues.

 

 

 

Just need to confirm if we have the correct SIM at this point in time.

 

 

 

Kind regards

So how did you get a replacement SIM card so quick or did you have a blank SIM card with you?

Are you sure it was not stuck on a OneNZ VLR address and clearing that would of resolved the issue?
