Getting stuck on 2G/3G, or no data, seems to be a common issue when roaming with some networks, happens to me with EE sometimes but also had it on the others in some countries.I've noticed a recurring issue with EE's roaming in Germany. For some reason, the network defaults to Vodafone, but it only connects to EDGE(2.75G), which doesn't really provide usable internet. When I manually switch to O2 DE, everything works fine. Switching to 4G did not help.
I've seen others mention this issue online as well, so it seems like a common problem. I reported it to EE customer service, but since it's still happening regularly, maybe they should either make O2 the preferred network or get Vodafone to provide proper connectivity.
Yep it really sucks in some countries, always going for the cheap networks. All our networks do that to an extent but EE is supposed to be premium... Since BT took over the roaming's gone downhillI am surprised premium brand like EE is so tight on roaming agreements
Very disappointed with EE roaming service in all countries
I moved across to EE from Vodafone back in March 2023. One of Vodafone's strong points was unlimited roaming, including tethering, in 83 countries across the world with no speed cap or any kind of throttling. It genuinely works as if you are on your home network. I assumed - seeing as EE is the...community.ee.co.uk
Roaming in Germany - What is the current situation?
When I went to Germany before Covid, my phone always connected to the telekom.de network. I always got a great signal which was really fast (30 MBPS +). Since 2021, this has changed for the worse. My phone now connects to o2-de, which often says 4G but gives me 2-3 MBPS on average. Once I had...community.ee.co.uk
Do you have more details on the trial what is it about?EE are presently doing a roaming trial, I wonder if it is connected to a future potential improvement in roaming agreements?

You'd think but EE roaming didn't offer roaming on Telekom for a period at all (last year/earlier this year, I think?) - and still might not?And they should have a pretty decent agreement with DT thanks to being a partner of this https://www.freemove.com/connectivity-everywhere/ and also with DT owning 12% of BT.

In Spain this year my Talk Home SIM (which should be EE native partners) would keep automatically selecting Orange ES which would not go above 3G.Thanks. Perhaps it's an old limitation of the roaming architecture, preventing a switch to the preferred network and instead staying connected to the first available barebones network. However, I haven't experienced anything like this in other countries.
Well Talk Home SIM is a budget brand which migh be relatively accceptable while EE is a premium brand so would expect to have a smooth ride wherever I go as long as I pay. Isn't thats the idea of Premium Brand?You'd think but EE roaming didn't offer roaming on Telekom for a period at all (last year/earlier this year, I think?) - and still might not?

Movistar ES offered 5G and Yoigo offered 4G both immediately. One of the few times I have had to specifically manually select.
Then unlikely to improve roaming quality technical side, just billing?Real time billing of charges while roaming
I couldn't use Telekom either last year or this year. I thought it was odd that it wanted to use o2-de all the time given DT's shareholding in BT and the fact that O2 is of course a competitor.You'd think but EE roaming didn't offer roaming on Telekom for a period at all (last year/earlier this year, I think?) - and still might not?
