Tethering in roaming not available - Nokia Lumia 1020

Hi all,
I discovered few day ago that on the Lumia 1020 is not possible to turn on the tethering (internet sharing).
My operator is a full MVNO and, according to the customer care, WP8 has a limitation on the tethering if the operator is a full MVNO (which it works in roaming).
Does it have any sense for you guys?
Thanx!

Treo 750 cingular worldwide??

I have bought locked treo750 cingular, my question is if i managed to unlock it via any unlocking services described here in the forum, will it work normally on any other network other than cingular without any problems or there will be some restrictions especially regarding GPRS and 3G??
And if I faced problems with cingular after unlocking, is it possible to upgrade treo Vodafone ROM?
Thank you very much for your help.
18 views without reply, am I asking a selly question? or no one of the forum has any answer for my question!!.
no offense, but the answers to all of your questions are here and out there on Google, etc. The 750 is a GSM phone, and once unlocked, will work with other GSM SIM cards/service providers. GPRS and 3G availability will depend on the service provider; most all provide GPRS a few provide 3G service. you may have to configure your phone work with other provider's internet service
I have an unlocked 750V that I use with T-Mobile and Cingular (US providers). T-Mobile doesn't have 3G service, so it uses the GPRS/EDGE connection. Phone features work without issue. Cingular has 3G and the phone works well there, too. hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. You are right there is a lot of speakings about that here and on google, but what made me worry is the words of a guy working in cingular or something like that who told that cingular has customized the OS to be strictly perfect with their service in US, and so on, it may be not working well in my country, hence i searched the XDA-dev and treocentral, most of guys who unlocked their treo is suing t-mobile and they are in US, while in europe they have the 750v, so they don't need to unlock the cingular version, except, one who unlocked cingular one and used his orange SIM and claimed that he was unabale to cutomize the GPRS sittings to connect with orange SIM.
I hope that you have got my idea, and I am still worried. Now, my specific question to u as having an unlocked cingular tro750, is the connections paramaters in Start--> settings ---> connections --> connections the same as other PDAs, so, theorotically i can customize it to work with my vodavone SIM. Thank you very much for your help.
you should be able to configure/customize your GPRS settings without an issue...i don't know about the other guy...

Samsung I780 i780MSHC3 failed to connect AT&T's 3G network

HI,
I just got a samsung I780 and flashed the i780MSHC3 rom, today i got a att pda plan. However, I can't use i780 to connect att's 3g network, always in gsm/gprs....... (using in LA, 3G definitely covered)
Is there anybody having the same problem, or could somebody give me some advice (already called att, but not worked out)
also,
Gyngabread Man could you help me to change my plan to the $30 PDA connect with isp support?
Thank you
Please help...
my date plan is PDA PERSONAL CV TE
I screwed up...
please help
how to make i780 tri-band 3g????
Anybody helps????
whether there is a way make i780 works on att's 3g?
Thanks....................
What phone rom are you using ?
If is an old one, try with the italian one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384619&highlight=i780+radio
my phone radio rom is:
XIHA7 the Italy rom...
I just wonder whether i780 is capitiable for att's 3g network, if now whether there is a "solution"?
is there anybody else using i780 in U.S. on ATT 3g network?
Thanks.....
The phone does not have 850/1900, only 2100. How do you plan on using AT&T's 3G network without 1900?
Changing the ROM will not give your phone the ability to now utilize AT&T's 3G network.
The weird thing is it won't even connect edge..........
but when insert t-mobile(us)'s card... it at least connected to edge....
and when i "roaming", i can connect to edge network, but with att, without roam, can only connect to gprs........
dats so sucks...
Just whether why some rom will make the i780 has tri-band 3g function

Sorry to revive an old thread...I can't connect to AT&T's 3G either (I live in Chicago). The band selection on my phone, though, is
1)900/1800
2)1900
3)WCDMA (phone doesn't connect to anything with this selected)
4)Automatic
PDA ROM is DXHE1
Phone ROM is PUHE1
Am I an idiot for buying this phone (I would need 850 instead of 900 on this bad boy?) or am I just not using the right settings?
same problems here...
Unless I'm mistaken it's a hardware issue, no amount of ram flashing will get past the the fact that your phone will not broadcast on the right band...

3G only

Hello All,
I was curious, I am currently stationed in Qatar and the call rates back to the States are ridiculous. I ordered an unlocked HTC Fuze off e-bay to use wifi skype. My question is that the only gsm provider in the country just announced sim based unlimited 3G data only services for about 110 USD a month. Could I use this service in my phone and make it data only for use with skype? 110 is WAY cheaper that what I'm paying now. I need a phone that I can use all over not just in hotspots. Plus the wifi we have here is a little slow (2000+ users on one commercial line).
Thanks
Keith
BTW they advised it was 3.75G.
most of usa's 3g service don't seem to be using the same bands as the rest of the world
so it could be that you can only use AT&T think they use the bands as the rest of the world

[Q] MVNOs that support native WiFi calling (T-Mobile based)

I have an unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4. I would like to switch back to T-Mobile network, but on a cheaper plan (like MetroPCS, Walmart Family Mobile, GoSmart Mobile, etc...) Problem is T-Mobile coverage is non existent at my house but otherwise pretty good, so I rely on WiFi calling. I have a TouchWiz based ROM on it currently which did support wifi calling without third party apps on T-Mobile.
Does anybody know definitely what T-Mobile MVNOs support wifi calling? I've read conflicting information on it.

Texting while in Jamaica:

Me and my family will be traveling to Jamaica this weekend. From looking at Sprint's coverage map, didn't see any coverage for Jamaica. Question, w/out enabling International services for our phones, is there an app we can use for texting each other? Would this only work if we are connected to a wifi network?
Update: Talked to Sprint, we have Sprint Global Roaming (not warming) which is free. We'll have unlimited text/data, but we'll get charged for any voice calls, $0.20/minute. We will have to connect to a GSM network when we get there.

Do they have to activate something on your phone to connect to a GSM network? My father in law is thinking about switching to our family plan but goes overseas to the Philippines a couple times a year and is worried about connectivity while over there which is all GSM. Thanks!
They updated our Profiles, not sure what got changed.......................then when we arrive in Jamaica, we'll have to go into Settings, More Networks, Roaming, Roaming Network, Automatic, Roaming Settings, check International Voice and International Data..........then Settings, Connections, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Network Mode, Select GSM/UMTS, then select one of the three networks that will be available.
