Note 3. Finding networks abroad

[Cleoriff]

I go to Spain a lot. I have never had a problem finding Movistar (preferred network) when I land in Malaga.

Even back in the day before smartphones.... when I used Nokia and  Motorola Razr's, connection was quick.

My Samsung S3 connected immediately as well. It found the network automatically

However, I have a major problem since I have changed to a Note 3.

When I turn it on it displays No network. If I attempt to find Movistar it takes an age to 'register' and connect.

I find this quite disappointing (particularly when I can hear other phones have connected)

Any ideas why this should be a problem?

Nice when everything works as it should. I presume the majority of your favourite haunts sell alcohol
