@Paul12763838333 

Some things to try:

         *  Make sure data roaming and mobile data is turned on in your phone's settings.

          * Manually search for another network

          * If you have an iPhone change your data APN to "mobile.o2.co.uk"

           * Try toggling Airplane mode on/off (it often helps kickstart things)

           * Drop down to 3G and see if that helps.

           * Contact O2 to see if there are any roaming bars on the account

Phone number to phone o2 from abroad for free, is +44 7860 980 202

If Abroad means Europe, @Paul12763838333 - then note the 'drop down to 3G' advice above won't work in the dark shaded countries in the map below:

And if it means the USA, then there is also no 3G, and you will need to have 4G calling enabled on your phone for voice calls - or go for a local prepaid SIM while in the country. Good luck!

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

Judging by the emojis, I think that was a subtle "Thank you", @Enlli 😉

Good one, @Cleoriff - if a long time coming 😂

I did see this @Enlli and @pgn but if you notice @DailTanner's post shows "in response to @Cleoriff".

I just presumed it had helped him? If so, good job 😉
