Hi. I ordered SIM card which I activated in UK before going abroad. Now I bought a supscribtion plan and I can't use any data while abroad, I tried sending an SMS or use maps but with no luck. Any idea why it's not working? I have got roaming switched on in my phone settings but when sending ROAMING to 150 it shows me I can't send it.  Thanks

Good afternoon @alexx3113

Is your SIM a pay as you go SIM or pay monthly/

Where abouts currently are you?

Are you connected to a local network?

It's pay as you go SIM and I'm currently in Poland.

In my settings I have an option to manualy connect to networks.

Thanks for confirming @alexx3113

Roaming is auto enabled on pay as you go. 

Have you tried manually connecting to another network?

Did the SIM work OK before you travelled abroad?

No, as settings are automatic, I haven't tried to conect to different network.

Yes, before travelling all was okay.

Hi @alexx3113

Please try manually selecting another available network.

Have you restarted your phone since arriving?

Katie

I have tried other networks but no luck.

Thanks for trying @alexx3113.

Are you aware of anyone else experiencing this?

Katie

No, to be honest... 

I have searched through the forum but couldn't find any similar topics.
