Is your device compatible with the roaming partner's network? Over time, networks get upgraded and that sometimes affects the connectivity of older devices. Have you tried adding the APN of the roaming partner to your APN settings? My device always worked in Turkey until today. I made sure roaming is ON and I also reset the network settings. How do I know who my roaming partner i s?Phone not working overseas
I have a Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite and I have been using my phone for years with no problem in Turkey. But I arrived to Turkey today and I did not get the welcome message and I have no internet. I am guessing it has to do with settings. International Data Roaming is ON. I rebooted my phone but stil no go. My phone never had the Tmobile software loaded but always worked in Turkey Where else in settings I should look?Re: Unlocked phones will work overseas?

Different carriers use different bands and devices don't always support them all or anything close. Especially Asian and Chinese specific devices. Compability for T-Mobile sold devices in Europe is pretty good. Especially on flagship devices. The most compatible devices globally currently available from T-Mobile are the iPhone 14's and Samsung s23's So if the band of the phone is important then it does not matter if it has the Tmobile software is installed or not right? The wider of the band in the phone the better? Are all Samsung S23s regardless where they come from have the same band?Unlocked phones will work overseas?
I am on a family plan where internet is free in 215 countries. I see a lot of brand new 5G phones on Ebay that are either unlocked or on Simple Mobile or Mint or Metro mobile which all use Tmobile network. Does that mean they will work overseas my with Tmobile plan? What determines workability on overseas with Tmobile plan? Is it the Tmobile software on the phone that makes it work overseas? (Some of these phones dont have TMobile software) Or is it bands/frequency of the phone? I read on other topics that FCC ID is needed to determine if it works on Tmobile? Can someone help?
