Hi @Lera1502

Thanks for coming to the community 🙂

Did you text ROAMING to 150 before travelling to make sure the account was set up to use in Ireland?

Thanks 🙂

Was told I only had to switch roaming on by the customer service team , and if didn't connect to switch off auto select Internet connection and to select myself , which I did but didn't seem to work my brother who was with me tried calling me he is on EE aswell but he could use his phone but I couldn't even make a call or send message , I never had this with bt and at the moment I'm sorry almost for switching wish I had left things alone .

Kind regards

Hi @Lera1502

You're account would need to be activated for roaming if you had no service and unable to locate a network this may have been the reason.

Please text ROAMING to 150 or call us on 150 if you're back in the UK and the team will make sure everything is set up correctly for you.

Hi @Lera1502

Once this is set up you won't need to do this every time 🙂

Hi @Lera1502

You can find full details on estimated transfer times and advice in our Transferring Your Mobile Phone Number to EE page.

If you're using the EE SIM card with the temporary number, you will receive a text when the transfer has started 🙂

The number transfer can take up till midnight to fully complete @Lera1502

Once this has completed, the app should update for you.

If this is showing the temporary number tomorrow, please try deleting and reinstalling the app 🙂
