I received the below even though I'm physically in the uk. This never happened when I was on 3 and in the same physical location.

You should always turn off roaming until you travel abroad. You don’t have to leave the UK to roam on foreign networks.

Hey there @Zagreus360, we hope the kind advice from @WelshPaul was able to help.

If you were near the sea, it’s likely you connected to the maritime (ships) network as that would’ve been the closest and strongest network available. To avoid this, we’d recommend turning off roaming when in the UK and/or setting your bill cap to £0.00. Also, if your phone is set to automatic selection, it’ll pick up the strongest network, so selecting iD Manually only will also stop this from happening.

Thanks,

Tyler
