FIX: OnePlus dropping calls and data roaming

Only 3G and 4G and I only see 0/0kbs going through the network card

I’ve had the same SIM card for years and used the same phone for years, until I dropped it…
I was then focused on a new OnePlus, a high-end phone for a cheaper price, but then OnePlus dropping calls…

I was happy with the phone until I suddenly had no more data outside of the Wi-Fi areas. Phone calls and such did not arrive (very annoying for when you need it badly).

Tried everything and even bought a new SIM card!
At one point I turned on the Real-time Network Speed ​​setting and what struck me was that I seemed to have an internet connection, but at those moments I was consuming 0/0kb of data. What also struck me there was that the phone never used 5G again. The screenshot below is from after I resolved the issue.

I have an unlimited subscription and I don’t have a daily data usage limit on.
Weird all, but I’m not going to bombard you with my personal story.

Option 1 – resetting the Access Points Names solved the problem for me.

The other options are ideas you can try, but I don’t know if this will help.

Is your scenario exactly the same as mine? Do you also see 0/0kbs and only 3G and 4G in your notification bar? Then this might help.

Go to Settings, go to your Mobile Network settings & select the concerning SIM card.
