Roaming in USA

Help please,

Arrived in Florida, got text confirming roaming all good to go can receive texts.

However maps doesn't receive any signal or connect when out of the house and away from WiFi.

On t mobile as carrier. Tried customer service and can receive texts but unable to respond as reply will not send.

Please help as I'm not particularly techy and can't understand why my nephew who is on holiday with us gets a fantastic connection on T-Mobile he's an O2 customer.

Thanks in advance

Jon

@Jono900 You need to purchase a roaming add on in order to use your tariff allowance. Have a look at THIS

Calls & texts will work abroad without a billing add-on. Mobile data requires an add-on, and within the USA this will allow the use of all your UK allowances including making & receiving calls.

Hi there @Jono900

Thanks for coming to the community.

Can you access any other app and websites using mobile data?

Have you tried manually connecting to another network, to see if you can use maps?

Thanks 🙂

Leanne.

@Jono900

Have you checked that your maps app is set that it can use mobile data ?
