Can you try a local SIM card if your iPhone 5 is unlocked ?

Have you tried manually choosing the available network there.

Check carefully about roaming charges obviously.

Try a local sim if your phone is unlocked or use wifi are other alternatives.

If your on pay monthly with roaming set up then perhaps ring 02 on the abroad telephone number.

Or use live chat if you can't get any connection still via yours or others mobile phone on o2
