Hi

 

New to O2 & first time posting.

 

I'll be traveling abroad & would like to know whether my iPhone will need to be set for use in Italy.

 

Thanks for any helpful advice

@EFC 

All should work OK.

https://www.o2.co.uk/eu-roaming

If you do have any problems, Some things to try:
Manually search for another network
Reboot the phone
Turn off 5g 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.

Thanks MI5

 

This is what I was hoping for, that the phone will continue to work as usual with no settings needing to be changed.

 

Regards

Make sure you have 4G Calling Active to ensure you can make calls as there is no 3G in Italy

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
