Probably a roaming bar unless you can get any joy from manually searching for a different network.

Manual selection is probably the only way to see what networks offer 4G in your area - Meteor and Vodafone IE will both appear, but usually only offering 2G or 3G in my experience - but I am a long way from Dublin, where more options will be available.

On the UK side, my phone shows 2G, 3G and 4G for all the common UK networks - O2, 3, EE and Vodafone.  Only Virgin shows 4G only. Unfortunately, all those UK networks are (Forbidden) as I am an O2 UK customer. 🤷‍♂️

i have tried to contact customer service in the uk but no answer I assume due to covid - how else might I get it "unbarred"? Is there any other help lines or live chat still available?

thanks

some numbers here

Everything is taking longer due to the lockdown. Call centres and social distancing means limited staff to handle all the queries. Patience needed I'm afraid.
