Well, I just opened a trouble ticket with eKit on this.

It appears that the MVNO they use in US/Canada (Immix?) is swallowing
touch tones at least in my area. I can call myself on another phone and
listen in; if I speak the voice comes through; if I press a number of
the keypad it does not come out on the other side.

I've tried roaming on both AT&T and T-Mobile. If I make same call on the
same phone, camped on the same cellular tower using a different SIM card,
everything works.

Why would they do this?
