I am currently abroad in other country and did not Text ‘ ROAMING’ to 150 when I was in the UK. Would like to ask what can I do now to active the service so that I can text and call from abroad? Cannot find the live chat/online chat button in the APP under the help page, can only find ‘call us’, but however I am not able to do this

@Wwwza : As you are on contract you need to call CS to get your roaming activated. Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. on Skype over WiFi. It should be free.

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

Hi @Wwwza

Thanks for coming here. 

Our customer care team will need to activate this on your account. 

Do you have access to a web-calling app such as Skype?

Hi @TheBigTea 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

Have you had service since you have been in the USA? Or, have you just arrived and have no signal? 

Have you tried connecting to a different network in your phone settings? 

Leanne 🙂

Hello Katie, thanks for your reply, yes I am able to access the web-calling like Skype, how can I do this?

Hi Leanne,

When I search 0800 956 6000 on Skype, There are two name options that come up, Orange and Matthew Bell, is this correct? Who should I contact? Thanks!

Hey there @Wwwza, when you call via Skype make sure to use the country code +44 instead of 0 at the start of the number. 
Therefore that would look like +44800 956 6000 😊
