This may not work if Rogers is the strongest signal as the handset may latch to it despite its non-functional state.
And that’s for any handset without a SIM, an originally Rogers handset or not.
- navanchauhan 4y agoiirc you can always go to the phone’s settings app and change the carrier it connects to For example, on iOS: Settings > Cellular > Network Selection > Switch off Automatic
- ilatossitos 4y agoIt didn't work, I tried to manually connect to other service providers (Roaming) and the connection was rejected. I liked to believe the others service providers automatically blocked Rogers customers to keep their service alive. Update:Grammar.
- dwild 4y agoHis point was that you could do that for 911, not for actual roaming service. I'm no expert but I feel like roaming still require some sort of "authentication" over the original network and obviously Rogers would have failed on that part.
- Scoundreller 4y agoI think that would work. Just tried it and while I got “zero bars”, going into field test mode showed I was sitting connected to another roaming network with limited service.
