As change of country means a change of IMSI, in the case of having a local number, you have to enter the APN settings again as the phone will not use those from the other IMSI. However once APN is set for a particular country/IMSI, you should not have to enter it again for that country/IMSI.

By the way, it would be pretty simple to build an Android app that could automatically set APN settings for toggle subscribers but obviously usability is not in their focus.

Until they are ready to sell their SIM cards to americans to use in the USA, I think I will wait to get one. It seems they are still testing.

Finally, tech support resolved my issue. I am on Nexus 4 Android 4.3 and had been unable to access the internet in the US with a local US number. It took a week or so, but today I got a reply that it has been resoled. (something at their end, they didn't mention what).

At this point in their plans--not really available in the US [easily], I want to say thank you for being persistent. It might have been an issue that only a small amount of US subscribers would have had. But now, if it is solved, nobody else in the same situation will have the problem.

Have you tested that the problem has really been solved or is this only based on information from toggle?

From time to time I have problems with data usage in different countries. Often I am already in the next country when toggle reports problem as solved. Sometimes after returning months later to the same country, the problem is still there.

Of course, I tested it. It took more than a week and contacting tech support several times. At one point, I almost gave up, but people in this forum told me to pester them till they resolve it.

I've just been to Switzerland and Germany the last days. Haven't used my toggle simcard for some time for active calling. During my way through Switzerland I've called friends in Germany on the fixed line and discovered that there is something like a auto disconnect after 20 minutes of active calling out. When arrived in Germany, I switched to my german IMSI and called back home to Austria to fixed net and definately haven't been disconnected after those 20 minutes.

Have anybody else discovered such a disconnect? I would not be normal to have such a lot of disruptions in the Swisscom Network...

Toggle now automatically sends APN settings through the following text each time subscribers enter another country:

Welcome to Germany, please configure your web setting, APN: data.lycamobile.co.uk. Thank you for using toggle mobile

I wonder if it´s possible to de-activate these messages. I commute between Germany/Switzerland a lot. As such these constant messages have no value, but are extremely annoying.

On the "local numbers" front: Belgium now appears in the drop-down menu for "local numbers", but when trying to activate a number it throws an error "Country alias is invalid".

Yesterday Lycamobile finally launched in Austria using A1 network. Hopefully after already announced Italian numbers, also the Austrian ones will follow.
