Hi @tim061959
Thanks for coming to the community.
I hope you're having a lovely time away so far!
Did you set up roaming before travelling?
Have you been able to connect abroad in the EU before?
Is it just calls and texts you're struggling with, can you connect to data?

Regardless of any billing add-on, your ability to get coverage abroad (which calls, texts & mobile data rely on) is dependent on roaming being activated - which allows your phone to connect to foreign networks. When you say you "have roaming", can you clarify what you mean?
On PAYG, this is auto-enabled once your phone is used in the UK first.
On pay-monthly, this needs to be enabled manually - usually by texting ROAMING to 150 before leaving the UK. Did you do this?
If you are on pay-monthly and now find yourself abroad without having enabled roaming, your only recourse will be to contact CS to request it activated. You can either contact +44 7953 966150 from another working phone, or +44 800 9566000 using a web-calling app such as Skype over WiFi.
