Did you do this?<BR /><BR />If you are on pay-monthly and now find yourself abroad without having enabled roaming, your only recourse will be to contact CS to request it activated. You can either contact +44 7953 966150 from another working phone, or +44 800 0798586 using a web-calling app such as Skype over WiFi.</P> Mon, 03 Jun 2024 17:48:03 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Mobile-Services/Purchase-of-data-roaming/m-p/1392971#M42172 bristolian 2024-06-03T17:48:03Z
