Hi, I have a phone contract with Three but I'm now in Crete so I've bought a 20gig 02 sim card. I've registered & on the app it shows what I've got left but when I'm not on WiFi I have no Internet connection. Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance

Is it a phone sim?

Only phone sims will work abroad. Data only sims won't.

If it is a phone sim, 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.
