Data roaming in Portugal

[Bev61]

Have just returned from Portugal and data roaming did not work, my data roaming was switched on. Am going again soon, any ideas?

You need to call O2 and ask them to remove any roaming bar on your account.

All numbers are in this guide Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support

If you have an iPhone, you need to ask O2 to add iData to your account.

With iData, you can use the apn of "idata.o2.co.uk" 

If you don't have iData bolt on you can just change your apn to "mobile.02.co.uk" when abroad.

Same problem with me. O2 assured me before we left London that we can use data as if we are in the UK! No such luck. Ridiculous.
