Hi @Temi

You may have a roaming bar applied to your account.

Contact customer services via live chat, and ask them to remove it. They open at 8am this morning

Meanwhile keep rebooting your phone, and see if that helps.

You could also manually search for another network and see if that helps. (although if you have a roaming bar, it won't)

Hi @Temi, are you able to use your phone as normal now, or are you still experiencing some issues?

I can now receive and make calls. I had to call customer service and they unblocked the account so I can make, receive and go on the internet as normal in Spain. Thanks

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.
