Guest sabio_proeliat Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Hi, In the UK atm and using a Swedish SIM-card (Telia). Trying to check my email by roaming. I've enabled Data Roaming under settings, but still can't establish an Internet connection. I'm on Orange's network atm. Any ideas why it doesn't work? I've added Orange APN (just orangeinternet, user and pass blank) Thanks!
Guest baddogshuck Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Just to check.. you're using a Telia SIM but trying to use Orange APN settings? If so, that's why it's not working - you're not an Orange customer! You're should use the Swedish Telia APN whichever UK network you're on, you don't change APNs when roaming.

Hi and thanks for your reply. Sorry for not being clear on that but I've tried both. Any other ideas? Thanks!
Guest Mushroom_Lord Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Hi and thanks for your reply. Sorry for not being clear on that but I've tried both. Any other ideas? Thanks! Wait, lets clear this up, does orange allow roaming from Telia customers, and have you "signed up" where necessary. Do you know of anyone else on Telia who can recieve Orange coverage?
Guest flshg Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 You should switch back to your standard telia apn, then try to connect to a different network provider and see if roaming internet works through them. Failing that you would be better off picking up a pay as you go sim card from the uk and use that for checking your email (assuming your phone is sim unlocked).
