@jp2203 : EE doesn't supply WiFi to your phone, only the mobile network. WiFi is what you use to connect to a router or WiFi hotspot.

When out of range of land based mobile networks, you cannot use your usual UK allowances aboard but will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/maritimeshipsferriesandcruises.

When you can use a land based mobile network, you can see the charges by entering the country in the above linked page.

If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure the roaming ability is enabled on your account.

If you are on PAYG, make sure you have used your PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.
