Try rebooting the phone a few times and also manually search for a network.

If that doesn't help, you'll need to call customer service.
Numbers here Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support and here http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

You may be able to borrow a phone to call or use Skype over wifi.
When it comes to the reason you are calling stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.
Press 2 for Everything Else
Press 5 for More Options
Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to someone.
Say "Upgrade", "Lost/Stolen" or "Fraud" if you have to, to get put through to someone.
8.00am is the best time to call if you can.

 

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)

You can try a couple of things. Take  the sim out, clean it gently and resinsert

Manually choose another network.

If none of this works then you need to contact O2 (Borrow a phone or use Skype) and ask them to see if there is a roaming bar on your account. All numbers are in this guide Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support
