Fix an EE phone not working abroad, restart your device, turn off automatic network selection to choose a local network manually, and verify that data roaming is enabled in your phone settings and your EE account

Im assuming you have tried this?

Welcome to the Community, @rlprice1me.

Fingers crossed some of the above @Chris682 has recommended will do the trick - sometimes phones just need a bit of extra coaxing to recognise a roaming network, and even I've had instances where I've needed to do a restart to get things working when I land. 

It's worth double checking to make sure she hasn't accidentally toggled roaming off in the phone's settings - just be aware this is independent of any roaming settings at our end, so does not guarantee the ability to roam.

If none of this makes a difference, please give our team a call, and they'll be able to check over all the roaming settings at an account level too.

@rlprice1me , if on contract, have you your daughter made sure that roaming is enabled on the account?

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using web based app or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.

Data roaming is a phone setting allowing use of mobile data whilst already roaming.

Roaming is an account/SIM-setting allowing access to foreign networks.

That network access allows use of calls, texts & mobile data.
