Displaying Signal Bars but still saying "Emergency Calls Only"
Hi,
I moved to the three network a few months back while I was in college, I was in college in a different area to home so was able to avail of 4G connections etc, and it was great around there. But, when I got home to my home in rural ireland, i noticed than when I'm in my house, I have signal bars on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3), but at the bottom of my lock screen it says "Emergency Calls Only". I could get proper signal in one room in the house but that was it, no calls, no texts or no internet would work, it was useless without wifi. As soon as I leave my home the signal comes back and is relitively good. I called up the three network and their phone support is absolute pants, not to be in any way racist here but the Indian guy I was talking to hadn't a bloody idea what to do. He suggested I leave my wifi off for 20hrs so they could do "tests", a lie. I went into the 3 store today and got a replacement sim card and got my number etc transferred over to it, and now the problem is persistant, it just says "Emergency Calls Only" all over my house but still displays signal bars.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I don't think my phone is at fault, as when I was on another network before this the signal was fine everywhere.
Thanks
