As simple as that.
The phone seems to think its always roaming, regardless that it is in its home network. This causes a few issues, such as:

- Fmms won't retreive mms automatically, all sending and receiving operations must be confirmed ("yes I understand that data roaming is very expensive" etc).

- Roaming data counter counts all traffic, whilst home data counter counts none.

- System wide applications and warnings etc. that should react to accidental data roaming are falsely activated and are thus ineffective in a case of genuine accidental data roaming.

The annoyance isnt really major, Its now that fmms has become roaming sensitive that Im reminded of the issue regularily.

Anyone else have this? Anyone know of a solution? I'm on Saunalahti in Finland. The phone has been like this as long as i can remember, for about a year now.

Hi MoKopila!

I am experiencing the same issue. My problem is as follows: The largest mobile network provider in Austria A1 has a "low-cost" daughter named bob. A1's mobile network code (MNC) is 1, bob's is 11.

Unfortunately bob uses A1's mobile network with MNC=1 and the device thinks that it's roaming because MNC=1 != MNC=11.

Greetings,
Dominik

p.s. Rename the attached file to mnc.py, install qtmobility ("apt-get install python-qtmobility") and run it with "python mnc.py". The script will tell you your home network code and your current network code. I guess that the values will differ.

Saunalahti is a virtual operator, and other products from other manufacturers also complains about always roaming.

Yes, that is common feature. It is because Saunalahti is virtual operator in Elisa network. I don't know work-around.

Thanks for the input guys.
Anyone know of a workaround? I guess reponsible software is closed source so we're out of luck.

Well fmms is open.
