If you have an iPhone change your apn to “mobile.o2.co.uk”

Also, for any phone, try manually searching for a different network.

You may have a roaming bar on the account. In which case you need to contact customer services and ask them to lift the bar Guide: How to find help & contact O2 

It's free to call from abroad.

Best of luck and welcome to the forum Welcome

Also check that data roaming is selected in network settings.

It is, but often needs changing to work abroad. Annoyingly....

It needs changing when they are on the incorrect data bolt on. Usually happens with a tariff change or upgrade.

Check your internet settings because you could have the Wong settings to use the internet. If your internet settings are OK then you will need to call o2 as there need to be done on your account to let you use your phone out of the UK.
