SOS only - BSNL International Roaming Not Working in USA Since Nov 2025
Hi everyone,
I’m currently in Boston, USA and have been using my BSNL SIM on international roaming for the past 2 years without any issues. Since November 2025, it suddenly stopped working and only shows “No Service”.
I have active balance and validity. I recharge regularly just to keep it active because I only use this number for OTP.
Here’s what’s happening:
• Initially it was showing SOS / No Network
• After switching to LTE, I can manually see T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon etc.
• When I select T-Mobile, it shows a tick mark (like it’s selected)
• But still no signal bars and no SMS
• Network selection option works now
• SIM works in other phones the same way (so not phone issue)
I’ve tried:
• Resetting network settings
• Cleaning SIM
• Trying in multiple phones
• Manual network selection
• Turning roaming on/off
• Airplane mode reset
Still no proper network connection.
Has anyone faced this recently with BSNL international roaming in the US?
Did BSNL change roaming agreements?
Do I need backend reactivation?
Any help would really mean a lot because I urgently need this number for OTP access.
Thanks in advance
