I bought 3 GB zone 1 & 2 data roaming bolt while in London. Got a confirmation text that it has been added on. I am now IN Saudi Arabia and data not working. How do I make it work?

Some generic things to try:
Check data roaming is on in phone settings.
Manually search for and try other networks - even if flagged as forbidden.
Turn off 5g
Enable 4g calling (if on contract)
Change your data APN to "mobile.o2.co.uk" if not data is being received.
Check with O2 whether you have a roaming bar on your account. Do this via social media
If you message O2 on Facebook or Instagram https://www.o2.co.uk/abouto2/social-media they should be able to help.
