Hi @Gb1970it

Thanks for posting.

Do you have a pay as you go or pay monthly account?

Do you have signal showing on your device?

@Gb1970it You say you’ve sent a message to 150. What’s your issue again as that message to 150 is a text message so obviously you can send texts.

Roaming isn't something you enable using your phone's menus, it's a network level setting that is activated by texting ROAMING to 150 before leaving the UK. Did you do this?

If you did so, and your phone shows a local network connection, then roaming is activated. What do you mean by "reply to their security queries"?
