Solved: Re: Connecting to network in France difficulties

DomWak1 · ‎11-12-2018

I am in France and my phone is refusing to connect to any network. My colleagues can connect. Orange F comes up as the provider - I know there is coverage. My phone just says 'no service' and has done for 24 hours.

Sounds like you have a roaming bar on your account.
Give customer services a shout to help http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

Also try rebooting, cleaning sim card and manually selecting a different network.

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.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

Thanks for that. The old tried and trusted method or rebooting!!!!!! I should shoot myself for not trying that first.

Just brilliant!!!
