Have tried everything that’s been suggested and been on EE messenger and they haven’t been able to help.

I have exactly the same issue in Armenia. Tried everything and nothing works.

What was suggested? Are you on pay-monthly or PAYG?

If on PAYG, did you use your phone in the UK before travelling abroad?

If on pay-monthly, did you enable international roaming before leaving the UK, by texting ROAMING to 150?

This is how roaming is enabled, which allows your phone to connect to foreign networks

Like activating roaming on your EE a/c before you left UK by texting ROAMING to 150?

Pay monthly. All enabled. Taken the SIM out and put it back in. Toggled data on/off.

Tried manual network selection.

The same SIM works in my wife’s Samsung but in neither of my iphones.

Roamed fine in Turkey prior to this.

Exactly the same issue as the chap currently in Saudi on a different thread.

If this same SIM has been used in another country prior, that is good proof of roaming being enabled.

If the same SIM works in another phone but not in your iPhone, that suggests a device-specific issue. Did another working SIM work in your iPhone?

I bought a local SIM and that works in my phone

So, local SIM works

My EE SIM works in my wife’s phone.

My EE SIM does not work in either of my 2 iPhones.

Hi @Karltop,

Does your wife's EE SIM work in your phone?

@Karltop On your iPhone with your SIM card in it open Settings>Mobile Data>Mobile Data Options and toggle on DATA ROAMING. Then restart the device.

Done this several times, but to no avail.
