constantly dropping international roaming phone service

[Orange14]

My wife and I are currently in Italy with or two incredible 2 phones. We had no problem in Rome as the phones shifted between 3G and wireless easily. however, once e got to Florence the phone and 3G service constantly drops out and one has to do a shutdown and fresh start to bring service back (restart does not work). Vodaphone is the carrier over here. Have any other users experienced this? is it just an annoyance or some network or software glitch? thanks in advance and sorry if this has already been addressed as its hard to search the forum on the phone (wireless is great over here, all restaurants and hotels have it).

FWIW, I found out that this only appears to be a problem in Florence. We went to Siena today and the phone held the phone and data roaming signal the entire time only dropping it when we got back to Florence. perhaps Vodaphone just has put signal transmission within the city.

XXSIM (or XX SIM) is a global roaming SIM card-based service provided by Shaston AG that provides coverage in over 137 countries with the recent addition of Ukraine, Thailand, Mexico, and Kuwait. Like a few other global roaming SIM cards, XXSIM provides free incoming calls worldwide with roaming capabilities extending even to countries that do not necessarily appear within its coverage area.

XXSIM's data services are compatible on both 2G and 3G networks in the standard frequency bands with no minimal charge in most countries. The company also offers outgoing calls at a rate it claims are 85% cheaper than major European Union network operators. The XXSIM is currently the only international SIM with an "in-network mobile to mobile" solution; calls to someone else on the XXSIM network are billed at a €0.19 rate regardless of the position of the other XXSIM. XXSIM also offers a free additional national landline number in Germany, USA, UK, and Switzerland to help lower costs for calls to landlines. Free calls and messages to any XXSIM user are also available via the XXSIM website.
