Re: Data in Europe

When I am traveling - Europe, China, Japan, etc... I always set my phone to GSM only (not Global).

I noticed on one of my trips I was in a GSM area, my phone showed reception bars, but I was unable to make/receive calls etc...
When I checked my settings, the phone was in CDMA mode...forced it to GSM and all was OK.

I also have had issues in China (never in Europe so far) where I am connected and voice works but no data. I found out some of the services do not support data so what I had to do was manually try each GSM network to figure out which one worked best.
