Hi, I am currently working in Italy and my phone is not connecting to most networks or getting data. I just upgraded to an iPhone 12 and got a new 5G sim before the trip. My phone connects to Vodafone Italy but only on edge, all other networks show no service. I have tried talking to customer services who went through basic troubleshooting, changing some settings, resetting etc, and they also tried reading the travel bolt on but I still have no data. Can someone assist? Thanks

Thanks again for the really quick reply, so appreciated. I have had the issue all over really for quite a few days as I have been travelling between cities so dont think the mast, tried to do the 3G thing as well but didnt work unfortunately. It can only be the account I think, I guess i will have to live without the phone for now. Thanks so much again for helping

Well @James1uk if you haven't got iData on your phone, it won't work abroad.

It's a pity you can't get someone who knows what they are doing. I'm going to call in @O2Lisa who is one of our account advisors on here. She knows what she's doing so look out for a message from her.

It's not an iData issue if it still doesn't work using "mobile.o2.co.uk" as confirmed above.
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.

Well it's something. @James1uk said CS couldn't confirm he had the idata bolt on. Instead tried to add some international bolt on!

Anyway, hopefully @O2Lisa can get it sorted and I'll go back to the WHD rofl
