[Q] Atrix 4g and International Roaming

[changw414]

I recently took my phone to the UK, and it seems to get no signal at all. When I do the *#*#4636#*#* service menu, it only states that it has usa bands (my captivate and nexus one had multiple bands to choose from). Does anyone know of a workaround to get this phone working overseas?

Called AT&T and they were no help in getting the phone connected.

AT&T does that **** on purpose because they want you to pay for their international plan...if you talk to them about it, they'll tell you that you need to sign up for a plan that will let you go out of the US with signal.. (it's not permanent, but you pay for the month that you are gone).

Problem is I already have the international roaming plan.

If you're trying to use a foreign simcard it wont work unless you have a sim unlock code.

Otherwise there is no reason it shouldnt work overseas on your ATT sim card if you have the right plan. it has the correct 3g bands to work anywhere in UK/EU on 3g.

It could be that its not pulling down the right APN settings for orange or whatever provider its trying to roam on. Just a thought.

Just out of curiosity where in the UK were you? I was there in Dec with my AT&T Blackberry (worked fine) and will be there in June with my BB and my Atrix (didn't have a personal international phone when I was there in Dec as I had been on Sprint at the time). In the past I've had no problems - taken past AT&T phones to Germany, France, Spain, Scotland, Slovenia and Italy and they've always worked (that was with my old HTC Fuze which I had totally unlocked). The only place I ever had a problem was rural Wyoming about 100 miles west of Sturgis two summers ago. It wouldn't work but for one corner of the driveway at the cabin we were staying at.

I have been in London. I actually brought my samsung captivate, and put my at&t sim card, and everything worked just fine. If I place my sim card back in the atrix it looks as if it does not detect the signal at all.
