Make sure you're connected to a Greek network as all should work like at home.

Some things to try:

Check data roaming is on in phone settings.

Manually search for another network

Turn off 5g

Change your data APN to "mobile.o2.co.uk"

Check with O2 whether you have a roaming bar on your account. Do this via social media

If you message O2 on Facebook ( https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (X)( https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram ( https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help.

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.

In order to make/receive calls, send/receive text messages, or use mobile data abroad - you need mobile network coverage. Does your phone show a connection to any Greek networks?
