Hello all
i live near the border and getting many unwanted cell provider.
Is it possible to disable or block them completely ?
i do want no network than those expensive roaming providers
hope there is a way.
Well disable automatic selection and choose network manually in the settings ...
I've tried this too to save some battery, but then the phone asks me all the time if I want to connect to a different provider. That's a bit annoying...

Hello everyone,
I just got an anoying behavior on my diamond. When i got into a non coverage area (i.e. subway) and then return to a coverage area, the phone didn't select automatically the newtork. After this, i decided to manually select my network provider and forget about it.
since i did it, the phone continuosly displays a windows listing the network providers in my zone and requiring to register. I still don't know what triggers this window to appear.
Does anyone has any idea why is this happening?
Thanks
Hello All,
I have an unlocked Diamond (originally on Orange UK) now using a 'Three' UK SIM.
Unfortunately, I constantly roam onto Orange where data sessions fail to work. Data sessions connect, but HTTP traffic is blocked and other types of data is obviously much slower (too slow to use). This sometimes happens where Three's signal is available but Orange is stronger.
Forcing manual selection of networks does not prevent roaming to Orange. The order of preferred networks is not saved and reverts to (Three, Orange, ...) as soon as I exit the menu.
Is there any way I can do one of the following:
Disable all roaming?
Disable GSM/GPRS/EDGE?
Lock the phone to Three only?
Force manual selection of network?
Any help appreciated
Thanks!
If you wanna stop EDGE for WIFI roaming you can use NoData.cab, look on the forum.

this app automatically do this job: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131 (disable data in roaming, and re enable under home automatically)
I am looking for an app that will change my national roaming operator in some cases (maybe some tasker plugin) if it is possible of course. My home network operator uses roaming with two other providers in my country, the thing is when I am at home I have to switch manually to one operator only to get good signal (when it is set to automatic the signal is very poor, because it chooses other operator). I found only something like that but for cdma phones only (roam control). Do you have any ideas?
Bump.
I have a quite rare problem. I'm in Ireland and use 3 operator. It does not have coverage on many places and it has some kind of contract with o2, so whenever the signal it lost, phone automatically switches to o2. Problem is when I'm back in place with full 3 coverage again, WP does not switch back. I have to select network manually several times a day. It's very annoying. Is there an option somewhere in settings to disable roaming completely? I found it only for data but I need it for calls. Phone is Lumia 920.
Thanks

I imagine specifying your network provider as "3 IRELAND" or whatever it's called will stop it from connecting to O2? The setting is under Mobile Network (under the roaming options, at the bottom) and is set to "automatic" by default.

First thing I tried, but it did not help. Maybe problem is that the other network has same name - probably to ensure seamless switch. (it's actually Vodafone, sorry for my mistake: http://www.vodafone.ie/aboutus/media/press/show/BAU002953.shtml )

I'm not saying I'll be able to help, but could you elaborate a little on why roaming comes into this? Are you changing countries between two places where the operator is called "Vodafone"?

No I don't. It's actually a funny thing. I live in Dublin and yet you can find here many places without signal coverage. I think, but not exactly sure that 3 is the last operator who entered on a market here, so it does not have proper infrastructure and negotiated with Vodafone national roaming for places where native 3 signal is not available. In general it's not a big problem, you can make calls like in your home network, price is same, you can even see on your phone you are connected to 3 network but with a roaming. (because in fact you are connected to Vodafone)
I'm trying to disable roaming completely because mobile data on the roaming are just GPRS while in native 3, you got 3G.
It would not mind me if phone would automatically switch back on 3 when available. (when I had WP 7 it was doing like this) But now with WP8 the behavior seems to be changed and as soon as it enters the roaming it never reverts back to native network unless I manually select the 3network again.
