    Hi ​@CDSowd63,

     

    We're sorry to hear you're having trouble using your phone in France.

     

    Could you please try manually connecting to one of our roaming partners below?

    • Orange
    • SFR
    • Bouygues Telecom
    • Free Mobile

     

    We'd also recommend performing a network settings reset.

    For iPhone:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Tap General.
    3. Select Transfer or Reset iPhone.
    4. Tap Reset.
    5. Choose Reset Network Settings.
    6. Your phone will restart afterwards.

     

    If you're still unable to connect after trying the above, please contact our Customer Service team via Live Chat so they can investigate further.
