Just arrive in Sri Lanka I have an iPhone 6, data roaming off. I can receive texts (Inc from uk) but when I send I get a message a few minutes later saying it failed

I'm current registered to dialog but have tried various local carriers - all the same. Any ideas?

Pay monthly then please turn off mobile data which will cost £6.00/MB in Sri Lanka. Use wifi only, clean the sim card and reboot.

Try rebooting the phone a couple of times - Are you on contract or PAYG?
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.

Texts on pay monthly will cost 40p so better to use TU over wifi.
