How do I ring EE from Greece? Switches off even when Wi-Fi calling is on.

Hi @Anitaej

Thanks for coming here. 

WiFi calling will only work in the UK, do you have a query we can help you with on the community?

@Anitaej : What happens when you call w/out trying to use Wi-Fi Calling, which isn't supported from abroad?

If you are on contract, did you activate roaming on your EE a/c before you left UK by texting ROAMING to 150? Having a roaming add-on doesn't of itself activate roaming on your a/c.

Often just rebooting the phone is the simple remedy. Also try selecting a network manually rather than auto. Otherwise login to your MyEE account online & go to Menu > Account Settings > Parental and Data Controls > Roaming Abroad and also Call Abroad and Premium Rate. They will show as ticked if roaming and calling abroad is activated. If not ticked, can you activate these settings?

If you can't enable the Roaming Abroad and the Call Abroad & Premium Rate settings of your online MyEE, you will need to call CS. Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. via Skype over WiFi. It should be free.

PAYG is auto enabled for roaming as long as you've used the SIM in the UK previously. You won't see any of those settings & don't need to change anything.

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 SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

Ok. Thanks. 

Very helpful. Thank you.

If you're in Greece then you should connect to either COSMOTE or WIND. 

Assuming you can connect to the network, then you should be able to call 150 from your handset. 

If you're not able to connect to the network then it's an account level issue you need support with (specifically ensuring roaming is provisioned)

Thanks, everyone, for your advice. I’m back home in the UK now, but will bear in mind all your comments next time I’m planning to go abroad.
