Roaming in Ireland getting data only

[Patricia1066]

I am on Pay Monthly O2 contract, and usually the iPhone automatically transfers to 3 and I get voice text and data. 

Today it transferred to 03Ireland, and I have a good data but no calls or texts. 

The APN perhaps needs to be changed?

@Patricia1066 

apn is for data so no need to change that as data is working.

Suggest you do a manual network search for "3"

[Patricia1066]

The manual change didn't stick. 
I reset network settings, still didn't alter

Wonder if iOS 16.4 is at fault?

Have you tried on of the other Irish Networks to connect to at all? either Eir or Vodafone IE @Patricia1066 

[Patricia1066]

Good suggestion. It didn't work even though IRL METEOR did dislodge the auto network. 

I'll go to a phone shop tomorrow. 

[Patricia1066]

What is odd is that I have data whether the mobile network selection is locked to EIR or 03Ireland. 

Neither give me calls or texts. 

I tried to access help bot but it defaults to the forum this morning. You all are better than bots!

It seems to be sorted. I received a call from UK and afterwards I was registered to EIRCOM MOBILE, an option not available before. 
3G only but it offers texts and calls in Ireland on O2 pay monthly. 

[Patricia1066]

I can receive calls but can’t make them. I’ll contact o2 to confirm if they use Eir in Ireland, unless someone here can confirm 

[madasaf1sh]

I am sure I have roamed on Eir in the past in Ireland... And I know Eir customers can roam in the UK, on o2

Thanks @madasaf1sh and @MI5 

I can't contact O2 by phone, unless they accept WhatsApp texts. 

I am trying to understand what has changed since February 2023. 

I changed my phone but it is still an iPhone on latest iOS.
