I was in France for two weeks and was supposed to be able to use my data and minutes there but even with roaming switched on and connected to Orange Fr I could not make or receive phone calls or send or receive text messages. Whatsapp worked when on Wifi but I was completely unable to use my phone functions and could not access any codes from banks, gmail etc sent for two factor authentication. Does anyone have an explanation or solution?
Amazed to discover there is no phone number or chat function on ID - basically no customer support at all. I am going to Istanbul tomorrow and am worried about being unable both to access any codes, which will impact my ability to manage money, and communicate with the people I’m meeting there if I get into difficulties.
I intend to change my mobile provider as soon as I return home.
