As DITO Telecommunity expands its services, users may face challenges with international roaming. Roaming connectivity issues often arise due to improper setup or unregistered SIM cards. This guide explores common issues and how to resolve them effectively.
Common Issues with DITO SIM Roaming
Unregistered SIM Card
A DITO SIM must be registered for roaming and other services to work. Without registration, the SIM will not function properly, even in local networks, let alone abroad.
Roaming Not Activated
Users often forget to enable roaming before traveling, which is necessary for connecting to international networks.
Unsupported Countries
DITO’s roaming services are not available in all countries. Ensure your destination is on the supported list.
Network Selection Errors
Automatic network selection may fail. This requires manual intervention to connect to a foreign network.
Insufficient Load or Roaming Plan
Roaming requires a valid plan or sufficient balance. Lack of these disrupts connectivity.
