Many, many times I have used 'roam like home' or whatever it's called to get voice and data roaming in EU for 1, 3, 7 days. This trip, as usual, touch down in Slovenia and I receive the text message instructing me to text ROAMEU7D to 150 for a week of roaming for 10 GBP. Great. I try but it doesn't work. Message fails to send. I turn off RCS (iPhone 13mini / latest OS) to see if that's the problem, still won't send. I try about 15 times, my partner's phone too.
I can receive calls and they work.
At the hotel later I call EE using another service and the person says she can manually add it. I get the text confirmation that it is added and mobile data starts to work.
Still, though, I cannot make a phone call or send a text message. If I try a phone call it says there are 'service restrictions.' I turned off wifi-calling and this did not fix it.
I'm on Pay as you go. If anyone knows the answer, please do tell. EE, please give me a call to fix it. Thanks.
