Ah okay great, it was just that I didn't know that!Why wouldn’t it? The UK and Australia have the same model iPhone, so if your iPhone doesn’t work neither would any iPhone sold in Australia.

Back when I was on sky mobile it kept on putting me on Yoigo which barely worked.I was in Fuerteventura last week and found a strange glitch if you roam on Yoigo. The network sends your phone the mainland Spain timezone although Fuerteventura is in the same timezone as the UK. Very confusing and dangerous if you set your alarm to catch a flight
Luckily my iD mobile SIM connected mostly to Movistar and Orange - but with 5G support![]()
Forgot to ask, did you do any speed tests?Luckily my iD mobile SIM connected mostly to Movistar and Orange - but with 5G support![]()
Does Orange have 5G now too?I was in Fuerteventura last week and found a strange glitch if you roam on Yoigo. The network sends your phone the mainland Spain timezone although Fuerteventura is in the same timezone as the UK. Very confusing and dangerous if you set your alarm to catch a flight

That's interesting.Back when I was on sky mobile it kept on putting me on Yoigo which barely worked.
When I went back in January for a week, I went to torrelavega in cantabria and for the first half of the week the roaming barely work kept getting no service for3 days until sky turned it off and on. And I was on Yoigo quite a lot while staying in cartes but once getting out I was going on orange which worked just about.That's interesting.
Sky always locked to Orange where possible as far as I knew.
Sadly - no. I had bad WiFi and needed to save my data. But speeds felt good for regular use.Forgot to ask, did you do any speed tests?
Yep. Had it at the airport before departure.Does Orange have 5G now too?
Last time I was in .es it was 4G+ only on all. Then I was aware of Movistar 5G roaming with Three but not orange.
Yoigo is trash.
Nice little upgrade!Yep. Had it at the airport before departure.
KPN at Schiphol is great. Even their 4G connection gave me over 100mbit/sSpent last week in the Netherlands with spusu, was only able to connect to Vodafone. Though at Schiphol Airport I ended up on KPN. Had no issues, both were 5G and though I didn’t do a proper test, Vodafone was pulling around 100 Mbps in Emmen.
Nice little upgrade!
There's lots more 5G roaming happening now.
I haven't paid close enough attention myself, but that usually means there isn't anything noticeable.Is there a noticeable difference though with how our EU partners are rolling out/provide 5G compared to the UK?
That's really weird.... When I was there in January, calls worked on all networks. It was 3G, but it worked.Friend in France on Three PAYM (paying their silly £2 a day... but anyway) found they had no ability to make any outgoing calls on any of the 4 networks.
Wasn't with them so couldn't really troubleshoot but they'll be using it as basis for a refund...
Strange... I was in Paris last month with iD (I think they use the same roaming as 3?) and everything was fine? Maybe wrong settings or they were in an area with a patchy network?Friend in France on Three PAYM (paying their silly £2 a day... but anyway) found they had no ability to make any outgoing calls on any of the 4 networks.

They may need to turn on dial assist in their phone settings to make it work, or change the numbers to 0044 I think it is.Friend in France on Three PAYM (paying their silly £2 a day... but anyway) found they had no ability to make any outgoing calls on any of the 4 networks.

On another note...They may need to turn on dial assist in their phone settings to make it work, or change the numbers to 0044 I think it is.
