I have actually turned off the roaming feature when I got here last year in June. The costs were way too high as this is outside the EU. All I needed was the ability to get SMS Text messages so I could log into my Halifax account and pay bills. I didn't even use it to make calls, just receive SMS messages.
Adding to the previous comments, to make/receive calls or send/receive text messages abroad requires a network connection which means roaming. You may have disable data roaming on your device (there is no option to do so for voice roaming or text roaming), but the roaming facility will remain active on your account.
If you remain on pay-monthly, have roamed previously but now cannot connect to any local network, there is usually a network-specific reason why you can't connect. This may need a faults investigation to be raised via CS.
