Mobile 3 sim absolutely usleless

Here now and using 3 roam like home, and it is shockingly slow basically unusable, waste of money. I have tried connecting to t mobile and AT&T both as bad as each other, so frustrating.
Rant over lol

That's concerning, I'm on 3 and going in a few months.

Where abouts have you tried in Orlando?

It's always worked perfectly for me, both in Orlando and throughout the US. Often faster than my connection at home
Are all phone settings definitely correct OP?

I had one bad experience with 3 and have since stuck to ordering US sim cards. I much prefer having a US number while over there anyway.

Could it be a Sim or handset issue? I’ve used my 3 Sim on 3 different USA trips now and it’s always been fine; DH has had his even longer and no problems there either.

Make sure you’re linked in to AT&T, we found T-Mobile really bad. Pick your own carrier rather than automatic selection.

Thats odd. Have you tried restarting the phone? Remove and put back in the Sim card? Is the phone trying to connect to a wifi nearby (this can disrupt so in those cases turn wifi off). Also, when you connect to the different providers is that through auto-connect or do you manually select them ? (I find the latter more reliable). How old/new is the phone ? (I remember some older models of iPhones for example struggled with something but cannot remember exactly with what).

The three of us use 3 and have done in both East and West coast USA for a number of years with no issue. Strange that you are encountering such problems. Turn off automatic selection of network provider and try others if you can.
