Am having real issues in Alderney, Braye Harbour. Occasionally I can lock onto F SFR and then that drops and I have loads of problems. Have not found a way to force it back onto F SFR. Even setting the operator through force operator by setting operator connection to manual and selecting one. I do see us occasionally see it connect for a few seconds to Airtel-Vodafone.
Something very strange is going on with regards to selecting and locking onto an operator.
