Had you used that SIM for making calls or texts in UK before you left to go abroad?<BR /><BR /><STRONG>If you are on contract, did you activate roaming on your EE a/c <U>before you left UK</U> by texting ROAMING to 150?</STRONG> 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.<BR /><BR />Often just rebooting the phone is the simple remedy. Also try selecting a network manually rather than auto. <BR /><BR />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. on Skype over WiFi. It should be free.</P> Fri, 14 Mar 2025 17:20:16 GMT XRaySpeX 2025-03-14T17:20:16Z Why can i txt roaming while in spain, i carnt activate my roaming so incure char https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Roaming/Why-can-i-txt-roaming-while-in-spain-i-carnt-activate-my-roaming/m-p/1516400#M4722 Fri, 14 Mar 2025 17:14:57 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Roaming/Why-can-i-txt-roaming-while-in-spain-i-carnt-activate-my-roaming/m-p/1516400#M4722 Spb71 2025-03-14T17:14:57Z Re: Why can i txt roaming while in spain, i carnt activate my roaming so incure char https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Roaming/Why-can-i-txt-roaming-while-in-spain-i-carnt-activate-my-roaming/m-p/1516404#M4723 <P>Are you on contract or PAYG?
