Roaming not working

Anonymous
Not applicable

My roaming isn’t working in France. I have mobile data switched on and roaming on. The 3 G sign is on at the top of the screen. Still not working. Any thoughts?

Hi @Monty1 

It sounds as if you may have a roaming bar placed on your account.

Contact customer services, you may have to use live chat if your phone isn't working and ask them to check and remove the bar. https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

Try a manual network search for available networks. 

Also look at this thread

Hi there - i have the same problem on my iphone 7. 

 

I have disabled using 4G - so hopefully it will default to using 3G

 

Please can you clarify what 'data apn' is?

 

Thanks

The data APN can be found in the network settings under mobile data.

You might have a roaming bar on your account in which case you would need to contact o2 to rectify Guide: How to find help & contact O2 

But try a manual network search first to try different local networks. 

You can also try again now with 4g enabled.

Has to be a local network issue then if you are sure you saved the apn correctly?
