Help!!!

 I'm in south Korea and forgot to text ROAMING to 150 before leaving... I have an extremely ill parent in the UK and need to be in constant comms with family... Currently I cannot make calls or send texts (iMessages possible where wi-fi e.g. coffee shops)... Is there any way for me to get roaming switched on from outside the UK, prefereably without a £50 call to the UK... I am on 'Pay As You Go'...

Cheers, Adam

If you are on PAYG, roaming is auto-enabled once you use your phone on EE's UK network - there is no other way and if you are now abroad, your SIM will not work abroad until it is used in the UK first.

Pay-monthly users can enable roaming whilst abroad, by using another working phone or web-calling app, to contact EE CS.
