Home operator not recognized anymore w/ 3G data?
 

Hi,

I just spent a week abroad with my N900. After returning home, it seems the phone doesn't recognize my home operator anymore when using 3G data. I'm able to use the data connection normally, but with an annoying feature. I've had the "always ask" option set for data roaming and now the N900 started asking for whether to allow data roaming or not although I'm in the network of my home operator. I disabled the questions and today I also got a warning message about 10MB data transfered while "roaming".

This happened both with PR1.1.1 and PR1.2. I did search the forums but could not find anything related. Has anyone had similar experiences? This is mostly a minor annoyance but still I'd like to keep the warnings since I travel quite often.

Have you tried restarting? If that does not work, shut it down, take out the SIM card, start it up, shut it down, insert the SIM again. Then it should see that you are home.

Yep, I've tried restarting. I now also tried taking out the SIM but it didn't help either :(

Well if you're sure your operator doesn't think you are roaming(AKA horrible data prices), open settings, open the phone settings, then a bit down select Data roaming and press always allow. You should probably enable this while going abroad though.
(My guess is that your operator somehow failed to register that you are in fact in your home country)

Yep, I already had the "always allow" option enabled.

That's what I would think too. The weird thing is that my operator allows to disable data roaming from their web service and I've done that. I shouldn't even be able to use 3G data when not in the home network.

I contacted my operator, hopefully they are able to find out the reason for this.

Thanks for the tips!
