My PAYG card can only receive text messages overseas, but cannot send text messages or make calls. I have recharged 5 pounds, how to solve it?

The £5 pack is an old pack. When did you get this SIM? When did you last use it for a chargeable action?

Is the £15 package cancelled, does it need to be activated in the UK to roam?

@Sakura007   In order to use an EE sim abroad you have to of used that sim in the UK first as the sim has to activate and used in the UK and that can only happen when connected to the EE network. You can not do this when connected to a roaming network and there is nothing that can be done to resolve this while you’re not in the UK.  

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