Data roaming won't work in Ireland

Hi,
I visited Dublin last weekend (cheers!) and took my iPhone with me (coming from Switzerland). There was no data roaming all the time, even though I had it activated in my settings. The E logo just did not show up, and data connections were refused with an error message.
I figured out the EDGE settings for the different irish carriers and entered them - no change (ok, now I read you have to use your home carrier's settings, so this was futile anyway).
Any idea what could have gone wrong?
A.
PS. Yeah, I know it's expensive... but looking up streets would still have been valuable.

My carrier is T-Mobile (the same as in Germany). The handbook told me to get my carrier to enable roaming, but I was informed thas roaming (speech and data) is generally enabled, I didn't have to do anything. I am aware, that I can switch off data roaming.
Thank You!
I am still looking forward to my holydays in Ireland.
Bye beye,
Roland

  • My international data roaming is not working in china, why?

    I am currently traveling in mid-east china, but my data roaming is not working. it shows good single bar, but when I try to receive emails (from gmail or AOL account), it gives me error messages. it is very frustrating. it has been 3 days that I can't retrieve emails. I do have voice service though.

    You might need to contact VZW for some trouble shooting help. Unless you are using a 3rd party simcard...then you might have to check with them to make sure their isn't an issue.

  • Iphone data roaming - option not working ( urgent please help)

    I am going on a long holiday (3months) to various countries from Canada and I will be using my phone only for the first leg of the journey for 15 days just to keep in touch with my family to say I'm safe and all. I dont want to unlock or jailbreak my phone.
    Is there a way to disable the 3G to avoid roaming charges ( Since I am on a contract I cant ask my provider to block it) I turn on the data roaming option but the 3G sign is still shown and its still connecting to the network
    Is there any other way

    "I turn on the data roaming option but the 3G sign is still shown and its still connecting to the network"
    Are you out of the country when you do this? It won't disable data when you are in your home network.
    From the manual:
    "Data Roaming turns on Internet and visual voicemail access over a cellular data
    network when you’re in an area not covered by your carrier’s network. For example,
    when you’re traveling, you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid potential roaming
    charges. By default, Data Roaming is turned off. "
    BTW, I'm not sure how helping you avoid a roaming bill is urgent. Some have much more "urgent" problems, like crashes, unresponsive iphones, etc.

  • Report using two different data sources won't work.

    I'm trying to build a report that shows information from a production table and an archive table.
    Tables are in different databases, which are defined as their own Data Sources in Publisher.
    Two data sets containing the same query but using different Data Sources are defined in the Data Model.
    When selecting option 'Concatenated SQL Data Source' the report never completes.
    If any of the two Data Sets is selected as the Main Data Set, the report shows information related to that source only.
    Any hints on how to make this work would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    ccastillo

    More details on this issue:
    The production database has a synonym pointing to the archive database. I build a query using a UNION ALL statement linking both tables.
    For the same set of parameters, this query completes in a couple of minutes outside BI Publisher, but never ends (I cancel after an hour) inside Publisher.
    Is there any special considerations for the use of synonyms inside Publisher?

  • DbExecute tag for data access won't work

  • Recovery disk Creator & data partition won't work - Satellite L300

    My niece asked me to re-install her Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop, because the windows installation is rather buggy. She didn't have a recovery disk. Using Toshiba's Recovery Disk Creator I tried creating a recovery disk.
    However, the program wouldn't start. Checking the directory of the program, it would seem that the program simply isn't there. Afterwards, I checked the data partition of the laptop.
    There was a map with HDD recovery. However when using Windows' advanced boot (F8 before Windows startup) there was no choice of repairing the notebook. They only choices were the standard windows options (Save mode, normal start, etc.).
    In short, it seems impossible to re-install the notebook with the current information at hand.
    What would be the next course of action? Is it possible to order a recovery CD from Toshiba?
    Another niece has the same notebook, would it be possible to use that notebook to create a recovery disk?
    I'll appreciate and look forward to your reactions.

    Hi
    It looks like something has been changed on the HDD
    However, fact is youve no Recovery disk and you cannot use HDD recovery option.
    This means you need to order a new Recovery disk from Toshiba.
    You can do this here:

  • I have a pile of images that I need to add dimensions to. (show height, width, depth with arrows). I think data merge won't work for this because the images are all different. Is there any way to automate this?

    I've been doing this manually for hundreds of images, and it seems like i could create an action that would reference the folder of images and also reference a text file and merge the two. Is this possible?

    basically, i have 300 images that are silhouetted and on a white background. i need to draw in arrows and then place the dimensions on the image, much like this:
    But you're right - i will check on the scripting forum. thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

  • Iphone consume roaming data despite Data Roaming option off, why?

    Few weeks ago Im traveling and turn off the data roaming option. Today surprised I see a little consume of data travel days in my mobile operator bill. I call to them and say me that the Data Roaming option doesnt work and suggest me in my next travel turn off all celular options as Cellular Data, Enable 3G and Data Roaming. It is sound very strange for me and is the first time in a mobile terminal some option is not usable.
    Can it be possible?
    Thanks,
    Andres

    is it free or do you have to sign up and pay and is there a password
    Havee you asked the hotel ???

  • GPS does not appear to work with data-roaming off and no wi-fi network

    I have been using an application called imarkmyspot to produce way-points for synchronising with my camera. When I am in my home country this works fine and a GPS location is found quickly.
    I've recently been abroad and had data-roaming turned off to avoid high expense. The point is that in this situation the GPS does not work (with imarkmyspot or Goggle Maps) unless I can access an open wi-fi network.
    So my question is, is this correct? Does GPS only work with either data access on or when within range of an open wi-fi network.
    If this is feature (bug) of the iPhone then this makes applications such as imarkmyspot rather useless when travelling. Alternatively it could be imarkmyspot that has this problem of course. But I'm quite sure Google Maps did not work either in this situation either.

    The iPhone's GPS does work without a data connection.
    Two weeks ago on a work-related trip I knew I'd be traveling a rural highway that would leave me without data/voice from any source for at least 45 minutes (no GSM service). Before leaving a city with data, I zoomed out using Google Maps far enough to show most of my route, then "nudged" the map so the application wouldn't try to get a data update for the map. I simply used the top power button to turn on and off the screen. The iPhone and GMaps tracked me through for the entire blacked-out section of my trip - I made sure the device had a decent view of the sky and it got a fix and nailed the location within a few seconds.
    Ironically, I'm returning that device in the next few hours for an exchange. The GPS hardware, it seems, has failed about a week ago - the device gets A-GPS fixes now (it shows the nearby 3G and EDGE towers), but won't lock in for more than a second or two. My iPhone's GPS worked, and now it doesn't - AppleCare told me my GPS hardware has failed - and you're may be exhibiting the same failure.
    Some A-GPS devices use their sources to get close by - like my TomTom GO and the ephemeris files it grabs from their servers to get updates on where satellite locations are - and then use the on-board chip to nail the device's position. From what I understand of the iPhone's assistance mechanism, the data tower's and Wi-Fi physical location needs to be correct and available in an accessible database somewhere - my iPhone was showing me near Houston TX (2200 mi/3500 km distant from my actual location) when using 3G data until the data source was updated.

  • Flash is up-to-date, but Plugin won't work

    Hi!
    I'm using Firefox 29.0.1 on Windows 8, (also up-to-date), and Flash plug-in won't work. I re-downloaded & installed Adobe Flash 13.0.0.214...I verified it on their website, but I can't get the plugin to work. I had no problem with it earlier today, but for some reason it won't work anymore.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thank you,
    Nuts4Mutts :(

    Hi!
    Yes, I checked on Adobe's site THREE TIMES & I have the latest version, & the animations they have on their site worked fine...I saw them perfectly, (both the red cube bouncing around & the cartoon tree with the animated yellow & orange colored leaves). I'm at a loss why on most sites I have no problem watching streaming video, but on 2 of the other sites that I watch EVERY day, I suddenly get the "Error loading plugin" message on a black screen. It's driving me nuts, as I was watching these sites earlier this morning & everything was fine. The confusing part, to me at least, is why is this plug-in problem is ONLY affecting 2 of the sites I watch AND why did it happen out of the blue...I was watching them without any problem early this morning, just like I do ALL DAY...EVERY DAY!!! (I watch several wildlife live-cams, so it's important that I keep up with changes in the birds I normally watch). None of the other sites I watch are affected...what would cause this to happen?
    I even did a complete shut-down of my laptop, waited, then re-started. Usually, this would fix just about anything...for some reason, I can't get the video stream on 2 cams...I can still view the other cams I watch, though.
    I DID install MS's weekly updates, but it didn't affect my ability to see streaming video on most of the sites I watch; so far only on 2 of them.
    I only have the pop-up blocker that comes with Firefox, but other than that there's nothing else in my add-ons that could interfere. I checked my plugins several times, just to make sure Flash was up-to-date & they're fine, too. The mystery is why I can see my wildlife cams on 4 of the sites I watch but not on the other 2, especially when I was watching them early this morning!!! I feel like I've been dropped-off in some sort of cyber-space time warp, or in the twilight zone & I'm ready to scream!
    If there are any other suggestions, please post them...I'm very behind in my cam-watching!
    On another Firefox-related problem...where do I post a question about some add-ons not working or being visible AND not being able to customize since the last update? I know...I'm just having a very confusing, frustrating day!
    Thanks again for your ideas...I need all the help I can get!

  • Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
    The trick is finding what data.
    By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
    Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
    Back up the system first of course,
    Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

  • 3gs unlocked and jailbroke. everything works except data roaming, how can i fix this? in us

    I have a 3gs unlocked and jailbroke on tmobiles network. everything works except data roaming, pdp athentication failure, how can I fix this?

    Jailbreak voids your warranty.  It tends to brick your device, and you surrender any help from Apple or this forum.
    You need to find your own path through this.

  • I have wifi in my home and it has always worked fine. Then I went to Ireland and used the iPad there.  Since I have been home, it won't work in the house. I took it to another location where I have logged in before and it worked perfectly.  Any ideas?

    I have wi-fi in my home and it has always worked fine with my iPad.  Then I went to Ireland and used the iPad there.  Since I have been home, it won't work in my house.  I can't get my wi-fi connecton.  I took it to anothe location where I have logged in in the past, and it worked perfectly.  Any ideas as to why I can't get a connection at home?
    Thank you.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
