Hi everyone!
I just got on the Nexus 5 and this plan last week, everything works great in my usual location of San Francisco. This week though, I have an unusual situation of being in rural Delaware for the holidays. There's no T-Mobile service where I'm staying (which is fine, no big deal), but my phone doesn't seem to want to do any roaming. My girlfriend's phone is on AT&T and she has a signal, but my Nexus 5 sits here with an empty bar.
I've tried going to the Mobile Networks settings screen, and when I tell it to search for networks, it does show AT&T (the only one that shows up). But selecting that doesn't seem to do anything, I still have zero bars. My understanding is that the $30 plan doesn't have any weird restrictions or charges for roaming, so I'd think the phone would automatically latch on to that AT&T signal.
Being new to both the phone and T-Mobile, maybe I'm doing something wrong or not understanding how roaming works?
Thanks!
