Hi All,

 

I forgat to require roaming services before left UK. Now I can not start texts and request any authorization code by text message.

Is there any way to contact with EE team and require the service?

Thanks in advance

Ok guys thanks all help.

I put my SIM from Galaxy S20 to my Realme phone and few moments later the roaming was active. I do not know what was the problem with the Sam settings.

Assuming you are on pay-monthly, login to your myEE online account or app, find "Parental & data controls", and enable the following 2 options:

 

1: International roaming

2: Call abroad & Premium rate

Thanks for your quick answer but did not find that menu in my settings. I have pay as you go and topping up automatically.

I would like to reach a staff member via Wifi application. Or chat surface.

So you're on PAYG. That is auto-enabled for roaming, providing you used your phone on EE's UK network first - before travelling abroad. Did you?

 

If not, your phone will not work abroad until you do so. There is no workaround for thi.

I used many times in the UK. It is strange because the roaming is switched on my phone. Galaxy S20

I will try the SIM in my other phone as well.

@Kerobi : When did you last use it for a chargeable action? EE PAYG SIMs are deactivated after 6 months of non-use. You then have a further 3 months to call EE to reactivate it before it is lost completely.

 

You needed to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from your pack.
