Roaming service in Kenya

Hi - I am in Kenya right now and don't get connection to a local provider. I have a separate contract directly with EE and it picks up a local network immediately. Regards

Re: Roaming service in Kenya

Hi there, 

 

As Kenya isn't included in the list of "roam like at home" countries it may be that we need to have a look at your account to make sure chargeable roaming is possible. Can you send me PM with your mobile number so I can have a look for you?

Re: Roaming service in Kenya

Thanks for getting back in touch @manishmodi, I do apologise you're still experiencing issues with your mobile service.

 

From what I can see my colleague has requested some examples of this issue occurring. As I'm unable to see my colleagues private message, can you please confirm if you sent these examples via PM?

 

Regards,

Alice

Re: Roaming service in Kenya

Hi @manishmodi, thanks for getting back to us.

 

I'm afraid as @abails0105 mentioned, we're unable to see your PM's to Adam to confirm what actions have been taken and what checks you have completed.

 

Do you see the same error message when manually connecting to each of those available networks? Can you please advise if you have already tried the following to troubleshoot the issue:

 

- Rebooting the handset

 

- Manually changing your phone's APN settings, steps on how to do this can be viewed here going through the options of networks that are available.

 

Just to note, the cost of data whilst in Kenya is £8 per mb used so would be advisable to turn off your Mobile data to ensure if you do get connected, that your phone doesn't use internet and cause you charges.

Re: Roaming service in Kenya

Hi - thanks for your reply... Issue is I don't need data whilst I am here, but would need phone access, which I can't use as it seems plusnet sim's aren't register in Kenya! How can I send the PM sent to your colleague? It's your systems an am surprised you aren't able to get this resolved. Not good!

Re: Roaming service in Kenya

Hi @manishmodi

 

Thank you for your continued patience. We have been looking into this for you and in the interest of being honest, have come across conflicting information regarding Kenya. As such, I have sent off an escalation email and will check back on this Monday during our Operations team opening hours. Please be aware, it can take 3-5 working days for a response from our Operations team but I will chase this up Monday and get back to you via this post with more info. 

 

Kind Regards

Re: Roaming service in Kenya

Ok - but it's likely we will be back in the UK by then... Thus it seems plusnet doesn't offer proper roaming! And am not sure who is providing inconsistent information re Kenya. Pretty poor both from service and customer service perspective.

Re: Roaming service in Kenya

 

Hi @manishmodi

 

Thanks for coming back to us - I appreciate that this isn't ideal, but until we understand the full picture in terms of coverage in Kenya by speaking to our network team we're limited to how much information or support we can offer at this stage.

 

Even though you're back in the country on Monday, I'll ensure that my colleagues provide an answer for you as promised so that you understand the cause of your query.

 

Best wishes

 

Dave
