That explains it! I am in Australia at the moment and for some reason, I couldn't stay connected to any of the network at all. It didn't happen two days ago. Thought my brand new LG V30 was going on the fritz. This is very annoying though. A comment on the article posted above seems to imply that the fix may take 5-7 days. Totally blows for my trip! And my phone is locked so no local sim solution either.
