I'm on T-mobile here in the UK and I can't seem to stop it roaming to Orange.

I don't mind roaming except when it choses Orange 2G when I have a 3G cell over the road from me on T-mobile. If I go into networks and after searching select T-mobile it will change to T-mobile but it will not stay on it.

How do you switch off network roaming?

I'm running ICS 4.04

Thank you for your reply but I didn't say anything about Data roaming. I need to stop it NETWORK roaming. I don't get charged for data when roaming on Orange as they are the same company in the UK.

As I said I need to stop it NETWORK roaming. Any ideas please?

Go into Settings | Wireless & Networks | More | Mobile Networks | make sure Data Roaming is unchecked.

Yes I have done that many times as said in my first post.

"If I go into networks and after searching select T-mobile it will change to T-mobile but it will not stay on it."

I don't understand why it keeps wanting to change when I have manually selected my network. Is this a ICS 4.04 bug or am I missing a roaming setting somewhere?

Ref. Data Roaming it has been turned off the whole time see screen shot

You mean national roaming ? I think that was in previous CM and only in CM, not AOSP.

So has anyone got any ideas how to stop this roaming?

I've just got home and it has roamed to Orange again, I've been home for 1 hour now and it is still on Orange even tho I have a 3G T-mobile cell over the road from me. If I manually select T-mobile it will go onto it but it doesn't want to stay on it.

I didn't have this trouble before I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4

I think you have to call T-Mobile and opt out as its NOT normal roaming(little R over signal bar) its a network specific thing

Virtual roaming control, from the market has fixed my similar issues in the Netherlands.. Maybe give it a try?
