Prepaid Roaming Service Activation
Prepaid customers do not need to activate roaming on their numbers. The service is activated by default. Therefore there is no need for any configuration on prepaid numbers for activation of the service.
The service is only available on specific networks and in specific countries.
It is advisable that customers have enough credit on their numbers to enjoy the service on these networks
Activation
There is no need for any configuration on Prepaid numbers for activation of the roaming service. Once a TNM Customer visits a particular network (customer on roaming), network of the roaming partner will automatically pick-up.
In case the network is not available, then the customer needs to scan/search the networks manually and choose a TNM roaming partner; for example Vodacom in Tanzania.
