Hi @Jazzy79 

Thanks for coming here. 

Can you send and receive texts? 

Do you have signal showing?

Leanne.

Hi Leanne,

Unable to send/receive calls or text. But I have signal. Just don't know how to contact EE and I didn't know to send that text before I travelled.

Hi @Jazzy79 

Do you have a pay monthly or pay as you go account? 

Are you roaming abroad or in the UK? 

Leanne 🙂

@Leanne_T 

I pay monthly and I have roaming as my ad_on.

Roaming abroad, arrived in USA yesterday.

Thanks

@Jazzy79 : As 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 billing add-on doesn't of itself activate roaming on your a/c. Having roaming activated on your EE a/c, not just on your device, is crucial to using your contract SIM abroad.

Often just rebooting the phone is the simple remedy. Also try selecting a network manually rather than auto. Otherwise you need to call CS to get your roaming activated. Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. on Skype over WiFi. It should be free. 

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
