Stuck in Canada and unable to contact Ee Business Team about issue with Roaming

StefanBristol — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 12:00:05 GMT

I arrived in Canada and my phone won’t stay connected to Bell or Telus. It tells me to activate Roaming. It is active in my phone settings but when I use Wi-Fi and my EE app - Devoce settings, Roaming is not toggled on and won’t turn on - error. I have no way to contact business team as unable to call, text and Ee-Bot says team is busy and ends chat! What can I do please?

@StefanBristol : As you are on contract, did you activate roaming on your EE a/c before you left UK by texting ROAMING to 150? Having a roaming add-on doesn't of itself activate roaming on your a/c.

Often just rebooting the phone is the simple remedy. Also try selecting a network manually rather than auto. Otherwise login to your MyEE account online & go to Menu > Account Settings > Parental and Data Controls > Roaming Abroad and also Call Abroad and Premium Rate. They will show as ticked if roaming and calling abroad is activated. If not ticked, can you activate these settings?

If you can't enable the Roaming Abroad and the Call Abroad & Premium Rate settings of your online MyEE, you will need to call CS. Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. via Skype over WiFi. It should be free.

Hi… no I didn’t as when I went to check how to do this (I suspected I should) the advice stated that I didn’t need to do anything.

So no, I did not text Roaming to 150 before leaving the UK!

As per my chat, I am unable to call CS.
I need an email or other solution.

The ChatBot will not connect me to a human in CS.

Poor and incorrect information via website and poor ability to speak to someone in CS as a result.

Hi @StefanBristol

Have you logged into your My EE account and activated the Roaming and Call abroad settings, to see if this works for you?
