Hi there,

Is there any known issue with data roaming in Harare, Zimbabwe ?

I’m trying to manually select Telecel but having no luck joining…

Cheers

Try connecting to another carrier in ZW and what is the rejection message displayed on the handset?

I left it on automatic for a few hours and it wouldn't connect to any network.  Then try manually connecting to TELECEL with is the recommended network on the 2 Degrees website.

 

 

 

And all the obvious stuff like restarting the phone etc.. Im in the capital Harare

Try manually to select different networks but try 3 to 4 times incase of roaming steering

Carrier forces to get the handset onto the preferred network when handset is on automatic network selection


 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.
