Cannot connect to any network in the US, despite O2 travel inclusive zone

I have a Pixel 3a, with a 150GB tariff which includes O2 Travel Inclusive Zone. I was able to use 4G in the US back in February with this phone and tariff. I'm back in the US today and I don't have any network whatsoever (I'm at the same place as last time).

 

I triple-checked that roaming is enabled on my phone, I tried selecting the carrier manually (it doesn't find any), this is the exact same phone, tariff, and place as last time so I really don't know why this happens. I checked in my profile that I have O2 Travel Inclusive Zone, and I even enabled the O2 Travel bolt to see if it would change anything, but it doesn't.

 

This is quiet frustrating because I signed up to a 24-month contract with the 150GB tariff at the beginning of the year precisely to allow me to use roaming when I travel to the US (I really don't need the 150GB otherwise). Before that I was on a much cheaper tariff, and out of contract. Also not having internet meant I drove "blind" (no GPS) until I resorted to stopping at a nearby Starbucks with a wifi to be able to download offline maps of the area. Not something you want to have to do with jet-lag after a 9h flight.

@sunmat 

All I can think of is to manually search for a different network to try.

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
