Hi I am shortly travelling to Abu Dhabi and need to receive a call on my Uk id number. I will be getting an eSIM to use out there for general use but I need this call to come through. How can I ensure the call comes through as when I have been out there before no calls come through?

+24Hey there
You will need to ensure you have roaming enabled and international features via both your phone’s own settings, and the iD Mobile app/website.
You will also need to ensure you have a high enough bill cap to allow for phone calls to go through and to run for however long you need.
Roaming charges can be found here:
