    Have you ensured DATA ROAMING is turned on, on your phone?

    Hi ​@Benhall88,

     

    I'm sorry to hear you're having these issues.

     

    Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

    1. Turn Airplane Mode on for 30 seconds, then turn it off again.
    2. Restart your phone.
    3. Check that Mobile Data is switched on.
    4. Make sure Network Selection is set to Automatic.
    5. Reset your network settings.
    6. Remove and reinsert your SIM if you're using a physical SIM.
    7. If possible, try your SIM in another handset to see if the issue follows the SIM or stays with the phone.
    8. Check that there are no outages or coverage issues in your area using our coverage checker: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-support/coverage-checker 

     

    If you've tried all of the above and are still unable to make calls or use data away from Wi-Fi, please let us know:

    • Your postcode
    • The make and model of your phone
    • Whether texts are working

     

    For your security, please don't post any personal or account information such as your mobile number, account number, email address, or payment details, as this is a public forum.


    Regards,
