EU roaming

[omaghlad30]

I’m in Greece and can’t make called to uk.   Failed.   Works maybe once every 3 days.      Suspect it’s a 2g 4g issue.    I’ve data working fine.    Has anyone actually got calls working.   Texts also an issue

2g not working either 

I’ve it set to manual and 2g all day

Nothing we or O2 can do

The ability to make calls is down to the Greek networks.

Some networks limit roaming on 2G. O2 are supposed to be doing that shortly, stopping none UK customers from using the 2G network.

You would need to find out the Greek carriers policy

Your only option is to get a local PAYG sim then @omaghlad30

And pay Greek international rates back to the UK, from a "strange"number, @omaghlad30 - except where you can use WhatsApp as mentioned earlier.

He can't do that for all numbers if you read his reply.......

Just a thought @omaghlad30 

You sat you can't connect to Vodafone, if that's because it says forbidden, you can still try it when roaming. Forbidden networks only apply when in UK.

I did, hence my qualification.

Since the closure of Skype, there are other methods of VOIP calls to landlines like Teams or some other app such as https://yollacalls.com/blog/landline-international-calls/

Might be worth looking into @omaghlad30 ?
