Activate Roaming from Spain

Manolecho76 · ‎05-04-2021

Hi there,

I just bought a sim card, topped up with credit, but cannot receive or make phone calls, to Spanish phone numbers or UK numbers. Is there any solution to activate my roaming_

Many Thanks in advance

Where you buy it? Did you use that PAYG SIM for making calls or texts in UK before you left to go abroad? EE PAYG SIMs need 1st activating on EE's home UK network. If it wasn't you can't now use it until you return to UK.

If you think I helped please feel free to hit the "Thumbs Up" button below.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone

ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up => 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB => 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB => 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU => 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU => 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC => 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC => 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC => 2022: EE 80 Meg FTTC (no landline number)

@Manolecho76 you can’t activate a EE Sim card on a roaming network it has to be done within the UK first once it works in the UK you can then use it abroad. Nothing can be done to rectify this while not in the UK.
