No roaming in Rwanda

Anonymous — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 15:46:08 GMT

I have just been working in Rwanda for a few days. Roaming is not working there. I was in Tanzania before and Kenya afterwards, where it worked fine. My phone also registered on networks in Burindi and DRC whilst I was travelling around Rwanda. Should roaming be working there? The O2 web site implies it should. If it should, is there any way to contact a human at O2 to check it out? I am bound to go back there and it would be useful to be contactable.

On contract yes but no agreements in place for PAYG users.
