These are good evidence of roaming being enabled if so. In these cases, manually cycling through all available local networks often resolves issues - toggling flight mode can have the same effect.<BR /><BR />If not...On PAYG, roaming is auto-enabled once your phone is used in the UK first. On pay-monthly, this needs to be enabled manually - usually by texting ROAMING to 150 before leaving the UK. Did you do this?<BR /><BR />If you are on pay-monthly and now find yourself abroad without having enabled roaming, your only recourse will be to contact CS to request it activated. You can either contact +44 7953 966150 from another working phone, or +44 800 9566000 using a web-calling app over WiFi.</P> Sun, 07 Sep 2025 21:40:00 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Roaming/overseas-use/m-p/1562124#M8483 bristolian 2025-09-07T21:40:00Z
