Hi, last year I went to Portugal on holiday and was unable to use any data from the moment i arrived. I had plenty of data saved up so it wasn't a case of not having enough. I kept receiving texts while in the country saying I could use my phone in the same way as I do in the UK under the same tariffs but my data would not work the whole time. I am travelling to Poland in a few weeks and am trying to ensure I don't experience the same problem while there by trying to get to the cause of the issue. Thanks

Some things to try:
Manually search for another network
Reboot the phone
Turn off 4g in network settings
If you have an iPhone change your data APN to "mobile.o2.co.uk"
If still not working then contact O2 to remove the Roaming bar on your account.
If you message O2 on Facebook ( https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter ( https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram ( https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this.
