I have a Huawei 520y with Android 4.4.2 on it. I have a contract with Digital Island. 

The issue I have is every time I leave Auckland I lose Network and can't reconnect until back in Auckland again.

Digital Island seem to have no idea what might be causing it. So I figure it must either be the phone or Android?

I have tried manually connecting to networks, but no success.



Has anyone encountered this before??

Where did you get the phone?

I note the Huawei site says this under the network specs:
WCDMA: (Y520-U12, Y520-U22)
l WCDMA Band VIII[900 MHz]: 880-915 MHz (UL), 925-960 MHz (DL)
l WCDMA Band I [2100 MHz]: 1920–1980 MHz (UL), 2110–2170 MHz (DL)

Or (Y520-U03, Y520-U33):
 l WCDMA Band V [850 MHz]: 824–849 MHz (UL), 869–894 MHz (DL)
l WCDMA Band VII[1900 MHz]: 1850-1910 MHz (UL), 1930-1990 MHz (DL)
WCDMA Band I [2100 MHz]: 1920–1980 MHz (UL), 2110–2170 MHz (DL)

You would have to have the second model (in bold) to work 100% on the spark network as spark uses 850 AND 2100 - 2100 would probably work in most of inner Auckland but you need 850 for reliable coverage everywhere.
