The previous reply covers most of the standard stuff, but I'm going to pick up a couple of specific bits, to highlight parts of the general advice to focus on..

I have just arrived in Buenos Aires, and my data roaming doesn’t work. I believe this is due to the network either being down or not working. I haven’t received a welcome to Argentina text today either. My contract states i have no data costs abroad, therefore, why does my network not work or my data.
Data roaming means using mobile data whilst roaming. So can you roam in the first place? Forget what your contract or plan allowance gives you, for a service to function needs the ability in-place.. for which your contract is immaterial.
You mention not having received a welcome text message, so I'll use part of my standard response to similar queries to push the relevant point...
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. Now refer to the previous post....
