In Tanzania but no phone or texts

I have a 7 day zone 2 roaming pack and can connect to the internet but I cannot phone or text. Have checked all settings and all seems good. Any ideas?

@Jaybee011 Try a manual network search to connect to a different network . And try restarting the device if you haven’t already

The only relevant setting is an account-level one, to enable roaming on your SIM. This gives permission to connect to foreign networks.

Many people mistakenly think "data roaming" is a relevant one - this only enables mobile data whilst already roaming.
