@Faraz8 : Often just rebooting the phone is the simple remedy. Also try selecting a network manually rather than auto.

Did you receive a Welcome text upon arrival?

Had you used that PAYG SIM for making calls or texts in UK before leaving to go abroad?

Hi @Faraz8

Are you on EE PAYG or pay monthly contract.

If pay monthly did you activate roaming on your account. Did you receive a welcome text.

Thanks

If you are on contract, did you activate roaming on your EE a/c before leaving UK by texting ROAMING to 150? Having a roaming billing add-on doesn't of itself activate roaming on your a/c. Having roaming activated on your EE a/c, not just on your device, is crucial to using your contract SIM abroad.

Otherwise if you are on contract you need to call CS to get your roaming activated. Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. using a web-calling app over WiFi.
