i have a mytouch 3g and i want to roam on at&t network and when i try to click at&t says that the sim card is not registered to this network.
Be nice to see this one answered. I've never worried with it until I was riding down I-40 from TN to NC today and ran into the same issue. Weird thing is, I would roam every now and then on AT&T's network, but couldn't select it to manually jump on their network.
i just want them to terminate my contract i have free roaming but it still costs them money and they send you warnings to stop your roaming if not they have to terminate the contract lol i know someone that works for tech support in sprint and she tells me she sees this often
anyone know?
I tried to get answers from T-Mobile's forum to no avail so I will post here.
I was driving between Milwaukee and Green Bay a couple of weeks ago and lost all service on my phone. When I got back I looked at T-Mobile's coverage map and they had the area listed as roaming on their "partner network". Presumably my phone should have been able to make/receive calls on this network but was not.
I had my settings correct with Data Roaming enabled and whatnot so I can't figure out why I couldn't get on the roaming network.
Some background - I've rooted the phone and am using Enom's pre-Christmas ROM release with the associated kernel that comes with it.
Any help on this?
I know data wouldn't work on any net but tmob, voice should work for sure if u were sim unlocked

if the issue is at home, it's called the network extender. converts your internet connection into a mini cell tower for 3g and calls. I have one because I get dropped calls in my home. So check it out!
I have a sprint GS4 that was unlocked for international sim use because I am spending some time in london. I bought a sim card on the 3 network when here. I have really good voice coverage almost all the time but I have really spotty data coverage. It will be connected and then suddenly disconnect and not reconnect almost as if I dont have any data coverage. Sometimes when I change mobile network settings around it'll come back but there's no certain fix to the problem. I am wondering if this is a known issue, and if there is a solution/if i should move to another network/get a new phone(which would be my last option if i only really had to). Looking for any advice/suggestions.

As per the thread I link below it seems to be a common problem with all SGS4 phones.

well that blows, but that thread definitely tells me how to fix it.
thanks.
Hello,
The nougat update was installed on my Sprint S7 edge the other night. Now I can't use the Internet while I'm on a call! I did calling and surfing with no problem before this update. I called sprint and they basically said that you can be on WiFi and call / surf no problem, which is true. But I am often away from WiFi and need to use internet while on call. I tried the different modes such as CDMA, LTE/CDMA, GSM/UMTS, AND Automatic but same problem.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a setting or something to fix this?
Looks like I may have to go back to AT&T! ?
Thanks in advance
That is a limitation of Sprint, not Nougat. I switched from AT&T to Sprint last April and ran into the same issue immediately. While I plan to switch back to AT&T or Verizon, I've been using the hangouts dialer/google voice to make calls over LTE. This fixes the issue for me for the time being.

I've never been able to access data over cellular while on a call on my S7 Edge. Nougat or Marshmallow. Worked fine on older phones, but Sprint's Spark network doesn't allow it.
I came from T-Mobile who I truly despise so I decided to give sprint a shot. I've been on sprint for years now on and off and I have NEVER been able to use the internet while on a call. As others stated above, their POS network doesn't allow it. It was the limitations of a CDMA network, but couple years ago, Verizon upgraded their CDMA network and now they can browse and talk at the same time. Sprint is the ONLY network that doesn't allow it that's in the top 4. ATT, TMO, VZW. While sprint was racing to be the first carrier to allow 4G (which they were) other networks were prepping for LTE and setting up their infrastructure to surf blazing speeds and still talk and sprint is stuck in the stone age's. Rant over lol

Sprint actually did allow simultaneous voice and data for a while. It worked fine on my G3 (and still does, actually). But it doesn't work on any of the new phones that support their faster "Spark" network, or whatever they're calling it now.

what you said is 100% true but to add to the dialogue, the reason it doesn't work anymore is because manufacturers have reduced cell antennas down to 1
older devices used 2-3 antennas, so it was possible to use 1 antenna for internet on a LTE frequency while the other antenna was in use for voice calls.
VoIP is essentially a data stream so with 1 antenna that's the only workaround.
The last galaxy phone that did simultaneous voice and data (while not on wifi) was th GS3 . it had a radio in it call SVDO (simultaneous voice and data option)
no other galaxy phone since then can do both UNLESS your on wifi.

Regarding Sprint racing to be the first carrier with 4G (Wimax) while the others were prepping for LTE, Sprint wanted to also do LTE like the others but at that time LTE was nowhere near ready & they had to do something with the spectrum they were sitting on at that time or else they would've lost it.

Last phone I remembered being able to do this was the Note 3. Man I miss being able to use simultaneous data & voice.

Well that sucks. We should have that option it's freaking 2017 lol. It's hard to take them serious. I also keep hearing of a soft bank and TMO partnership they really do want to pair sprint with TMobile to compete against Verizon and ATT. If sprint did merge with TMO they could route calls through another frequency/band and have data sit on the LTE band.

Actually, a work-around that I've tried is using the Google Hangouts dialer. You can surf the web and be on the phone. Kinda sucks they eliminated the simultaneous talk and data.
I can attest that until the latest Nougat update (last week) I was able to be on a phone call while connecting to the internet and webex. I do this a lot due to being stuck in traffic and having to attend conference calls while driving.
My phone is a Galaxy S7 Edge. I also had this ability with my Note 3. Something fishy is going on here.
I'm really upset that this is happening all of a sudden, strangely right after the freaking software update. I want the feature back! Now every forum says that Sprint doesn't support it on these phone. BS! I am proof it did have the ability. They just took it away with stealthy maliciousness. Sprint needs to give us back the ability to use data and voice simultaneously!
I'm using s7 edge too. if anybody still can't use data while on call. try to turn off your power saving mode. don't turn off your power saving mode while you on call. off ur power saving mode before you call or answer someone. i update this reply while on call too.
I think nowaday most updates are all a big BS. just another ploy to take away all the neat features and give the phone companies more controls, limiting user ability, etc.... i.e. to save the phone companies bandwidth and data use..
My old samsung S4 can do everything after i completely rooted it. from hotspot to simult data and voice, also sim unlock... all done by me just reading xda
I want to upgrade to something newer with removable battery and microsd card in the form of a LG G5. and it's been a real PIA. first phone i got it has the latest firmwarez preventing any enabling of tethering or DIY sim unlock... Had to return it.... 2nd phone has earlier firmware so i can enable tethering. but has no way to use data and voice at same time.
