NO 4G IN HONG KONG

vw · ‎12-11-2018

HI Im currently in Hong Kong, have turned on data roaming and 4G is showing on my Iphone, Callas can be made but the signal from CSL the carrier is non existent. Whatsapp messages can be send and recieved but photos do not load or cannot send.

Any ideas on what to do?

Hi @vw it sounds very much like you are suffering from the usual heavily throttled travel data, but there are a couple of things you can check.
1st, try manually searching for a different network to see if it improves and second, if you are using an iPhone, try changing the data apn to "mobile.o2.co.uk"

Hey I read up on this and it didnt make any difference, but thanks

If you're all set up correctly it will just be the usual throttled data speeds then unfortunately.
Many complaints on here about it but o2 say it's only designed to allow basic browsing, emails and WhatsApp etc and nothing that is data intensive.

ive been here many times and not had this issue

Have you tried a different network?
Has anything changed on your account since your last visit - new phone, new contract, tariff change etc?

Hi @vw, and welcome to the forum

Did you get a chance to try switching network, as @MI5 and @madasaf1sh suggested? Has it helped at all?

Have a great time in Hong Kong!
