- APN settings are the O2 default.
- Data setting is on as is data roaming.
- I have turned off 4G (phone doesn't have 5G).
- Phone has been rebooted many times.
- I have tried manually connecting to other networks but there are none in range.

APN Settings for PAYG are what you have set, right?

Leave 4G on.
Ensure Data Roaming is set, as well as roaming, @otronics

Hello again.
A year on and I'm in Portugal again and my phone isn't fully working.
Details:
* I have a Nokia 800 Tough, purchased in the UK. Nano SIM, couple of years old but I've had the same number for 20 years.
* I'm on Pay-As-You-Go and it has about £10 credit.
* On entry to the country, it connected to the MEO network.
* Data is switched on. Data roaming is switched on.
* I DO have 4G data and can go online.
* I can't send or receive texts (however: see next point below).
* I can't make or receive calls but if someone calls me, it goes to voicemail but my phone then texts me to say I have a missed call.
* I have tried all other networks in the area, every APN setting you can imagine (including the ones here: https://apn.how/gb/o2/nokia-800-tough)
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Set phone to 2g and see if calls work then.

Try manually selecting an alternative local network.

I've forced it to 2g - no change.
Tried various alternative networks - no change there either.
Any further ideas?
Thanks.
