Data access on 2nd sim with 3 subscription

Was wondering if anyone here with a 3 subscription in Ireland or the UK can use data on the 2nd sim when abroad (with the 3 sim in slot 1)? I'm currently a 3 customer and had an LG G4 dual sim phone before and it wasn't possible to use 3G or 4G on the 2nd sim because 3 can't run on 2G or Edge. So the 3 sim always had to have data access enabled.

You can only have data access on one sim at a time. You can switch which sim has the data access but the one with data access will have 4g/3g/2g and the other sim will be 3g/2g. I use EE and Three in mine both are able to get a signal and use calls and texts. EE is the data sim on mine and Three can still make and receive calls and texts.

I used to have this problem with my dual sim HTC M8 - because only one sim could be run in 3G/4G.
Be reassured, I now can run a 3 sim happily as second sim, the OP3 allows the second sim to run in 3G.

Many thanks for the replies! Just wanted to make sure I can use the local sim for data access as the 3 Like Home option is not very good for data speed

Mi Mix2 and Axon 7 on Verizon

Mi Mix2 Global ROM MIUI 9 and Axon 7 Nov. 2017 Update.
Test condition - 1: Verizon post-paid SIM and Mint SIM (T-moible).
Mi Mix2: both sims can be in both sim trays. both can be active for voice call. obviously only one can be active on data. both sim gets LTE and VoLTE. when data is set to Verizon, Mint SIM connects as 3G (UTMS).
Axon 7: only tray 1 can work with Verizon SIM. both can work with Mint SIM. if put Verizon Sim on tray 2, no signal. both can be standby for voice. obviously only one line for data. when data is set to Verizon, MInt SIM connects as 2G (GSM). which might be problem for A&T as they already shut down 2G.
Test Condition -2: Verizon post-paid SIM and Xfinity Mobile (Verizon MVNO).
Mi Mix2: both trays can work. but only one can be active at one time, and looks like determined by data. when data is set to one of them, the other sim won't even get signal (shows emergency call only). but can switch between two sim back and forth no problem. so, not possible for dual sim voice standby with two CDMA lines
Axon 7: only sim tray 1 works with CDMA.

Will data still be connected when in a call using Verizon?

Thanks much for providing such a detailed comparison. I have a question regarding test condition 1. Hope to get some insights from you.
Assume that you set data to T-Mobile, and you are in a voice call using Verizon, is data via T-Mobile still connected? I ask this because phones such as Le Max 2 will have data disconnected when in a Verizon voice call.

Using the Unlocked Pixel 2 XL with an overseas sim

Last year my wife and I took our Samsungs to Israel and they worked great with their system and wifi. Now my wife is there with the P2 xl and her wifi is fine but her system calls are spotty.
Has anyone used any systems while in other countries that could have some advice.
Google support said to clean or replace the sim.

I purchased the Pixel 2XL through ebay and currently use it in Latin America with a SIM card from my local carrier. No issues whatsoever. Might need a new SIM card most likely, I doubt they charge you for getting a new one.

New sim or try this one first. Go to mobile networks and switch to 2G/3G. Bad LTE/4G coverage together with VoLTE enabled can give reception issues.

Thanks, I'll tell her to try a new sim.
FYI, the default setting for our Pixel's is Global. The 2 other settings are: LTE/ CDMA . or . LTE/GSM/UMTS

I get this option.

Alternatively you can use:

Under preferred network type she can change to WCDMA Preferred (3G/2G) or GSM Only (2G) or WCDMA Only (3G).

5G not connecting with S20 from HK in the UK with EE

Recently upgraded my EE contract to 5G and am unable to connect my S20 5G phone to 5G, everything else works completely (samsung pay, 4g, 3g, 2g) and 5G is supposed to work due to network band compatibility as attested by others on reddit.
I have tried several times to test 5G by going to 5G areas in London but to no avail, when I am in network mode 5g/4g/3g the max I get is 4g+. I have even changed my sim card and recgecked my contract is indeed 5G. I am really not sure why this is happening. Please can someone help.
P.S. I have even tried using sim card slot 2 as some on other forums did and it still doesn't connect to 5g. I can confirm that 5g works with Vodafone so it definitely isn't a problem with the phone. EE customer service are useless.

Airtel Sim not working in USA after network reset

I recently landed in USA from India. My Airtel SIM was working fine and registered to T-Mobile network.
I purchased mint mobile line and both Airtel and Mint were working fine.
Somehow I was not able to connect to Hotspot so I called up Mint mobile customer and they asked to reset network settings.
After that My phone stopped detecting Airtel T-Mobile network (Mint works fine).
I formatted my one plus 5T still its not registering to any network (even manually I tried).
Is there anyway to get India Airtel APN or other network settings back ?
Note :
My SIM works fine in other mobile which still has india settings. Something wrong happened with my mobile after Mint customer cares advice.
There is recharge in SIM and is active.
