Network Connection whilst in Dubai

JamesDean15 · ‎30-05-2022

I’m currently on holiday in Dubai and can’t connect to a local network. This has never happened previously when I’m abroad and I haven’t changed any of my settings.

when logging into my online account and checking my data controls. It states that both Roaming and making calls are blocked and when I try and change the settings to allow them. It get a message saying sorry we haven’t been able to make your changes.

I need someone at EE to update my account, but I can’t call the contact centre to do this as I can’t make any calls!!! I can’t find any web chat service either.

Hi there @JamesDean15

Thanks for coming here.

I don’t have another phone. Can this not been done via email or web chat?

I’ve not asked for it to be blocked.

Thanks

You could also try using a web-calling app such as Skype to call C/S using +448000798586 over a WiFi Internet connection.
