Hello 

I would be grateful for some help.

0. Im using th samsung galaxy s10e phone.

( Currently Im on holidays in Poland - EU - when trying to use roaming (calls, text, data) - my sim cancels all connections).

 1. I have a problem when my sim is connected automatically - default - to local network provider  for O2 in Poland - network provider name is "play".

 2. Same problem occurs when i change manually for different network provider "orange"- for couple of minutes all works - calls, texts, data, - then the other provider kicks me out from network. 

3. i tried all - other 2 - network providers - there i can not even for a moment register my sim.

4. i tried to reset all network settings. - no effect - even phone-

4.5 access point names is default 

5. i have rebooted the phone and update the android system. - no effect

6. i tried to swap the phone to my new iphone 13mini - same problem - sim does not register to network.

7. Im getting some the voicemail form the O2 but can not answer it or call back.

please help

thank you and regards

michal

@michalm 

Sounds like a roaming bar on your account. 

If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this

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.

That's a load of rubbish @michalm 

You need to call back to speak to someone else.

The chat option generally appears on the shop pages (o2.co.uk/shop) but rarely anywhere else.

Please note, this is not customer services and we cannot access your account. Do not publish personal details (email, phone number, bank account).


Link to our guide on how to contact them can be found here
