@KamilR : Did you receive a msg upon arrival telling you about the charges for roaming in EU on PAYG? Did you buy 1 of the "Roam Like Home" add-ons to be able to use your UK pack allowances there?

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

I cannot buy anything at the moment, when I send for example Balance to 150 nothing happens, I can give a call from my UK number but I cannot buy a pack (and I need to do it) I don't want to pay 30p/70p per min, it's no point.

Yes, I always received that type of messages: hello you're in Poland etc. 

And I don't buy anything because I can't use 150 messages - I don't receive from that number, nothing happens if I send for example Balance AL etc.

Hello,

Yes, I have. 

Can I give you my number and you can check on the system why my number and the 150 system not working properly for me, please?

Hi @KamilR

We have no account access here on the community so I would not be able to check your account.

Are you able to make and receive calls OK?

Did you use your SIM OK in the UK before leaving abroad?

Katie

Yes I can but I want to buy a pack (minutes) so I will not pay a lot of money for a 30 min conversation. 

Can someone help me with this?
