How to Configure Roaming on Xiaomi and Redmi Mobiles

Roaming has changed radically in recent times, allowing us to travel around Europe much more calmly and without too many complications with the telephone companies. Although before traveling with our Xiaomi mobile, we must know that there are some steps that we must follow, avoiding a surprise when we reach our destination and we do not have a connection.

Among the many MIUI options for Xiaomi and Redmi mobiles , this is one of the most important during our trips. We will explain everything you must do step by step to prepare your mobile for the next trips, regardless of the price range or the version of the Xiaomi personalization layer, since the steps are very similar in all of them. Even so, we must not forget that we can use WiFi from public places or places of stay on our trip, where we could also have problems with WiFi on Xiaomi phones.

Prepare your Xiaomi mobile for roaming

First of all, the first thing we will have to do is go to the phone settings and look for the section called “SIM cards and mobile networks”. In this section we will find everything you need but the most important thing is to click on “International roaming” because it is the section that will allow us to use our mobile phone even if it is not in the same region that we have selected.

Within this section we will change the option “Never” to “Always” , avoiding problems with roaming in Xiaomi. Years ago when Xiaomi phones were not officially sold in Spain, it was common to have to do the same process, so if you have a phone with several years, it is likely that it is already activated by default.

Are you still having connectivity problems?

It is likely that despite having followed the previous steps, our Xiaomi mobile phone continues to have problems with roaming networks, in which case we can configure the following section even before the trip. We enter Settings and look again for SIM card and mobile networks to this time touch on our SIM card that appears at the top.

Within this section we have several options, but the one that interests us is the one called “Mobile networks”, where later we will activate the option of automatically selecting the network . This will allow that if our purchase in other countries uses a different one, our mobile can use it from the first moment. It does not affect our use in the country of origin in any way, so we recommend having it activated always even if we are not going to travel.
