Roming pass in South Korea

Hi,

I am currently in South Korea and trying to use EE SIM card because I urgently need to receive a message of verifying my uk phone number and need to get a code from it. But it seems like my EE SIM card does not working properly as I cannot get a data signal at all. As I remember, it was possible previously to receive a message when you are outside the uk when you put EE SIM card. I wonder how to deal with this issue. I need my SIM card to be worked successfully so that I can verify the one I mentioned. 

Best regards, 

Sofia

@sofia121   Are you a contact customer? Have you enable roaming from within your online EE account?   Have you tried restarting the device.?  

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Hi, 

i paid for adds-on Roam abroad pass and text adds on as well to solve this out but no any further changes and also tried restarting device; no change again. 
on the right top of the screen where the right next to wifi signal, there is no single data signal shown.

Hi @sofia121

Thanks for posting. 

Have you activated roaming in your My EE? if you go  to Menu > Account Settings > Control Content > Roaming abroad and Call abroad, do they show as ticked?

Hi, 

thank you for giving suggestions.

i have tried to make it ticked for roaming option but it failed by saying ‘sorry, we’re having problems’ as shown in the pics

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.

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
