Why is it I can’t use data in the uk at the moment I am having to keep connecting to local WiFi?

Hi @Thepaulster1888

Are you on EE PAYG or pay monthly contract.

Is data active in your phone settings.

Thanks

Hi @Thepaulster1888

Try restarting your device. Have you tried connecting manually.

Are you on a foreign carrier.

Thanks

If you're in the UK (as per the subject of this post) you're using EE's UK network, thus not roaming and thus not data roaming. You're just using mobile data.

Does your phone show coverage indicators? Can you make & receive calls OK? When did you last restart your phone or toggle flight mode? Is mobile data enabled on your phone?

Or are you not in the UK and are actually abroad, thus roaming?

: You ain't roaming when you're in UK as an UK user.
