No mobile data abroad

Anonymous
Not applicable
i have been abroad quite a bit in the last year and since having my iPhone 6 (June last year) my mobile data does not work abroad. I have it in my plan and have even been charged the £1.99 a day for trying to use data roaming abroad, but I still can't get anything. It says safari cannot open etc etc, the apps don't work either. I'm due to travel tomorrow and ideally would like it to work!

Call CS http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus and ask them to check that you are on idata for iphone.
If you are, turn off 4g in settings when abroad and just select 3g.

Also make sure your data APN says idata.
