it seems to occur on telcos with 4G/3G network sim card (UIM,USIM) that has 2different set of ID/Keys in them
1 set for 3G, 1 set for 4G.

the problem is that if the user has only 3G plan, he will only have the identifier for the 3G network on the sim and does not have the identifier for the 4G network. therefore the phone will repeatedly try to auth with the 4G network and fail.

but in SG it seems this setup is not used here. 3G/4G sim cards are on the same id, when we actviated 4G on our old 3G plan, we do not need to change a new SIM card.

so if you read failure reports for those having this problems, and compare them to the Singtel global roaming partners, u can see that none of those ppl are in that global roaming partners list. for example, softbank jpn is a singtel global roaming partner, no issues reported for 3G only plans, ATT USA also singtel roaming partner, no such issues reported also.....

Long story short, not our problem.

You think our local LTE bands will magically appear in the US variant is it?

 

[moozmoow]

You think our local LTE bands will magically appear in the US variant is it?

Oh yes! After some settings la, thats why wana try

 

[kennyboy]

Oh yes! After some settings la, thats why wana try

You will be very disappointed.

 

[benthian89]

The LTE bands are supported by firmware or the chipset?

If the firmware is the one restricting the band's, then there is hope.

[moozmoow]

You will be very disappointed.
