It sounds like internation travel is not enabled on your phone so you need to contact CS to get it enabled http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

Other options are to download Skype over a WiFi conection and use that (people you are calling or messaging will also need Skype too).

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

TuGo is an option but only if downloaded before leaving the UK as a text message has to be received.

If P&G and you haven't used it you should still get signal but need to top up.
