Is it possible to block national roaming on the H818P? Sim card 1 has an annoying tendency to not go back to the primary carrier once back in an area where roaming isn't necessary. This wasn't an issue when I had an xperia D6633 so my guess is that it's the G4 that causes it.
I would rather miss calls and texts than have to manually set it back to my provider every time to get the 3G/4G worrying again.

Hi,
Even before the storm I am unable to roam. Sprint towers are up, but just barely. I had to retry a phone call 23 times to get it to go through. Same thing for texts. Verizon's network is doing quite well, but when I roam I get a notification that data has been disabled due to roaming, and when I make a call, I get an automated message from Verizon saying I have to provide a credit card to make the call. Texts won't send on Verizon either. Wtf.
All roaming settings are on, why can't I get ANY roaming!?
Thanks.

search this and/or other forums for Verizon PRL
I'm on 24006 with no difference.
And shouldn't genuine roaming work out of the box? At least for voice?
i posted this in another thread...im getting asked for a CC# by verizon(when roaming off the sprint network) as well...wth?
I'm using the same 00002 I used with my E4GT to force me on Verizon. No problems this far

This was first flagged up by @ShootistUK on the Eragon ROM development thread but thought I would open a thread for it here as the other thread is getting long and is probably not the place to discuss this sim card.
Mine arrived today and I have spent many hours trying to get it working in my phones(Galaxy S3, Moto G 4G as well as the P8000) - I did manage to send and receive a text and make a call after installing their own messaging app(which they tell you to do) but so far have not managed to get data working at all despite it being basically a 3UK sim so it should use the same apn I would guess. I already have 3 other 3UK sims so am quite well versed in getting them working but so far the freedompop one has defeated me!
Hopefully ShootistUK will let us know if he has had any success(I doubt or if there is anyone else who has one of these sims please let me know.
Well, you have had more success than me. I fail to even get the application to work. It always gives me an error about using up all my premium minutes (or something similar) and to turn wifi off which does nothing at all to help. However I cannot get my 3-2-1 sim from 3 to work unless I make it the default data sim which pretty much defeats the object of having the sim in the phone alongside my vectone unlimited sim.
Hmmm, interesting - so your main sim is your vectone one(which is an EE mvno) - The problem with the 3 sim is that it cannot function in 2G mode and the p8000 doesn't allow you to run both sim slots in 3G mode so you are going to lose some functionality somewhere. What is your ideal setup by the way? I suspect it's not going to be achievable unfortunately...I am currently running my 3-2-1 sim as default for data/sms/calls and have a Vodafone payg as backup in case there's no 3 signal(so really for calls and the odd text too. I also have a tpo sim which I could use for backup but I don't think I can use the FP + 3-2-1 together and in fact can't even get the FP one fully working by itself. I may try again tomorrow in a different location in case it was a case of weak signal?? I'm sure I saw that error too but I'll see if I can replicate that issue again!
Well I have got both sims functioning at the moment by enabling default data sim as the 3-2-1 sim (but disabling data in the other menu so it doesnt use the data connection) and relying on wi-fi at home and work. At least this way I can receive and make calls/texts on both sims even though I can not use mobile data on the vectone sim and do not want to use the data on the payg sim. This is not in anyway a perfect solution but I suppose an issue with dual sim phones.
Yes, that's not ideal I guess but at least the vectone sim functions in 2G mode, I don't think it's possible to get two 3-2-1 sims working together.
Well I will now see if I can get my 3 pay monthly sim to work in the phone instead of the 3-2-1 sim using the same method. Just very annoying that they only work together if I have disabled data on the vectone and enabled and disabled the data on the 3-2-1 sim. Is there anyway to get the 3-2-1 sim and another sim working together with the data set to the non 3-2-1 sim? I like vectone for the price but willing to get another provider if I can get them to co-exist.
So you enable the data in the sim cards settings and disable in the data usage section, is that correct?
Simple answer is yes, make the 3-2-1 sim the preferred data sim and then disable the data in the data usage menu. Then both sims work for calls and sms. If i need mobile data I then make the vectone sim the data sim which turns the 3-2-1 sim off.
yeah that's a bit of a clunky solution but it's the only one that'll work unfortunately but you won't be able to get 2x 3UK sims working on 3G/4G at the same time I suspect...
I rooted my Spring Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P) running Android 6.0.1 and I unlocked it. I want to use it in my local CDMA network, but when my phone company activated it along with 3G strangely I have signal (i.e. can make calls or send SMS messages), but my 3G does not really work. 3G only comes up for a few moments (as seen at the top bar) when Hands Free Activation (HFA) is trying to work (it eventually fails), or if I go to "Activate Device" in my setup it comes on for a little while too and then goes back off. If I disable HFA then 3G never comes on at all. Why can't I disable HFA and keep 3G connected?
Also, if I take out the Spring SIM (which is useless here since we do not have Sprint here), it tells me I should insert a SIM. Why is it requiring a SIM if I have my preferred network set to: CDMA?
I am really bummed about this after all I have been through, there must be some way to have it not require a SIM and not require activation for 3G?
You need the proper apn setup for your carrier. You should also get a sim card from your carrier, if they use them. If not, try taking out the sprint sim and doing the uicc unlock.

I'm facing a problem with data roaming on my OnePlus 3 with two SIM card:
SIM1 --> Data (ON), Roaming (OFF)
SIM2 --> Data (OFF), Roaming (OFF)
The last 4 days I've been abroad and my operator charged me for roaming data traffic the first 2 days, so I called them explaining that the roaming was OFF and they agreed to give me back the phone credit and suggested to deactivate also the Data (other than the roaming option). I was skeptikal but I gave it a try anyway.
Result: they charged me again for the last two days. Of course this time they refused to give me back the credit because it was the second time. However after a few minutes they called me back telling me that some phones have this problem/bug (galaxy S5 and others) and asked me for the phone brand and model (they gave me back my money also).
I checked the details on the operator website and I found 4 unwanted data connection (one for each day) of exactly 1MB (1048576 bytes). Don't know what to think and I couldn't find anything online.
Does anyone knows if this is a known problem of the OnePlus3 and if it can be fixed?
Thanks
Same issue here. I just found out that the phone connected automatically to the network and downloaded data, even when I was under WiFi at my friend's place.
Hello,
i have the same problem with OP3 / stock OOS 5.0.3, near border i'm randomly charged 0,50 eur per day, because the phone connects to foreign operator with stronger signal and Data roaming option is OFF for both SIM cards !
Bought 5t a few days ago, just found issue on Sim2 Verizon. I have ATT on sim1, Verizon on sim2, set sim2 as default data, text, voice. I understand is 3G CDMA for Verizon. When someone sent text message with pic to Verizon#, I received text w/o pic.
Then I remove ATT from sim1, has Verizon in sim2 only, I got pic with text!
Put ATT back to sim1 and set data default, sim2 Verizon voice/text default, received text only, no pic. However ,text with pic received when sent to ATT#.
Anyone has same issue?
Try using Verizon's message plus text app. It works even over WiFi and may solve the data stream issue.
If you need to get sms from both lines and message plus doesn't get the att then try something like Textra. The issue is that MMS needs the carrier data connection.
It does work! Thanks
I have the same carriers in the same slots and Textra, but AT&T as data and it's in a 3T instead of 5T. Everything works awesome(haven't noticed the lack of band 13, guess I'm lucky that my area uses the other Verizon bands). Only bummer is when I MMS comes through on Verizon, it's kills my AT&T until it finishes downloading and then goes back. But not that big of deal since Verizon is my work number primarily for calls. Wish there was a fix for this. But I can't give up root, stock Android, dual SIM and unfortunately Verizon is chosen by my employer. First world problems. Wish 1+ would just stick band 13 in there!!!! It can't be that much more expensive.
