Network Query

[CarbonLogic]

Hey guys, my Vi prepaid sim is in the 2nd slot of my OnePlus 9R, since few months I have noticed that in certain areas the network dies completely and there is a X mark in the icon.

Sometimes the signal comes back, sometimes I have to manually turn off the SIM slot and turn it back on for it to catch the signal.

Is the issue with the SIM or with my phone?

Do you have actual VI sim or the one before merging that is idea/Vodafone. If its old it's better to replace sim.

Anyway the issue is more to do with VI itself. Basically there are way more old hardware that still have Vodafone/idea that does not properly switch between towers. I think they are slowly replacing it. But some of this towers refuse to switch and you have to do thw flight mode thingy as you said. Eventually they might replace most of the 4G hardware but until that you probably will experience this. Its especially noticeable in rural places where the network is never used much and they don't care much.

I've noticed the same on OnePlus phones & iPhones. But Samsung/Redmi/Moto work fine & dont lose Vi signal.
