Hi @anita75 

Was the PAYG sim activated in the UK.

When was the last time you made a chargeable call or text. 

Thanks 




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

Does your phone show a connection to any US networks? 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.

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 0798586 using a web-calling app such as Skype over WiFi.
