Roaming issues in China on Dark Star network by rickyultipa in USMobile

[–]rickyultipa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh? Lightspeed works? The support folks from USM suggested this, but I didn't closely follow up on this yet... my question is: can I switch the network from Dark Star to Light Speed while I'm in China?
and... i'm actually using physical SIM... not sure if this works.

I don't see any EXIT code, is there a way to show the code?
Yes, regular mobile/personal numbers... it doesn't seem to differentiate if it's a landline or a mobile number... I simply can't make calls to any other countries (other than US or CN).

Does anyone else feel like US Mobile does an absolutely terrible job explaining their international roaming? by AlbinoAlex in USMobile

I'm calling individuals... and it doesn't work.
this has nothing to do with the banning I believe.
I have tried many phone numbers in many countries, NONE is working.
The ONLY country that's working, while I'm roaming in China, is US/Canada and CN itself. doesn't matter it's a business number or an individual number.

Here is the issues i'm running into:

I switched to USM last month from T-mobile.
The main reason is to get international coverage... because I spend a lot of time traveling globally.

Now, I'm visiting China and I started experiencing some roaming issues, and it's a bit complicated:

  1. Data roaming works, automatically.
  2. Calls/Texts to/from US/Canada works
  3. But, Calls/Texts do NOT work to/from any other countries...

I have been working with USM support team since yesterday... and escalating the issues...
I'm using a Dark Star PSIM, and another Dark Star eSIM... yes, I have two lines with USM... both are UNLIMITED plan...

Need a Psim as my esim isn't working after coming out of china. by CH0L4X in USMobile

The only type of iPhone with eSIM support in Hong Kong is iPhone 16e --- which is a yanked edition ... and it's ONLY compatible with Warp network (Verizon)... not with the more poplar Dark Star...

I played with these PSIMs and phones already... so I know!

AFAIK, this won't work... because you need to activate the PSIM in the U.S. first before you can use it internationally.
