@DanielleHarvey 

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 ( 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.

Is your phone an older model, or perhaps has no 5G capability? Or it may have been stepped down to 3G only in SIM settings, @DanielleHarvey - or may be PAYG, only Pay Monthly on O2 get 5G. You have rebooted your phone since landing in Iceland, so it could be APN is incorrect, as highlighted above.
