Roaming in Southern Ireland

[Anonymous]

I have a Lumia 640 dual SIM phone, fitted with a UK O2 pay monthly SIM and a Movistar (Spanish Telefonica) contract SIM. Both SIMs connect normally and roam in the UK, Spain and France, but now I am in Southern Ireland, while the Movistar SIM roams normally and connects to Vodafone IE or O2-IRL, the O2 SIM reports no network found. So I can't roam on O2 in Ireland! My wife has a phone on GiffGaff which also uses the O2 network, and she has the same message - no network found. Her other phone, on Digisim, roams normally here on Meteor. Should it be possible to roam in Southern Ireland on O2? Seems a poor show if I can't, and will need to change network provider.

Yes, you should be able too, but sounds like there may be a problem with the local network that has the roaming agreement with O2.
Have you tried a manual network search to see if any others show as available?
