Hi,
I travel to Portugal almost every month and for the last year and a half when i land in Portugal my phone does not work, i can not make or recieve calls, and not use any data. i hav eto rely on wifi in hotels and other places.
I have contacted 02 many times about this and they keep saying there is nothing wrong with my account or settings,
I have tried everyting, switching the phone off or on, manyally selcting networks etc..it still says "forbidden on network" . its now becoming quite annoying and im about to change providers if this cant be resloved.
any suggestions other than repeating what i have already tried above?

You must have a bar on your account.
There are 2 levels of travel restrictions so maybe customer service are only looking at one level?
Either way, you need to call them to check.
All numbers are in this guide Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support
Or 202 from your O2 mobile.
Advice from an O2 Guru to get through:
When you call 202, you will be asked for 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.
You can also try saying "Upgrade" or "Fraud" to be connected to an advisor.
