Hi, 

raising this as I have lost all hope here. If unfixed, I will just moved providers.

 

Iphone 14 pro, my roaming has never worked. Roaming is on in the app and phone, and network provider also tick off from automatic.

this is extremely frustrating to say the least, I travel all over Europe, Spain, Italy, Greece… never worked.

 

any suggestions that can change my world?!

 

thanks

Hi there @Erxema, welcome to Community!

 

We’re sorry to hear that. Have you tried resetting your network settings at all?

 

Is the issue only with data, or texts and calls also?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi ​@wgrussell  please can you follow the steps in this article and let us know how you get on - I'm abroad and Roaming is not working. What should I do? | iD Mobile Community

Are you able to manually search to connect to the same network your girlfriend has connected to?

I have had a similar problem being unable to receive data in France on 3 separate visits.  Telephoning is fine, but unable to connect to the internet despite going through all of your recommended procedures.  However, on entering Switzerland on this latest trip, with my iPhone 13 on standby, I failed to switch off roaming - why should I, it wasn’t working - only to find that in 2 hours, my iPhone had received £25 worth of data.  On returning to France, no internet connection was available.  How can I ensure I get data roaming when I next visit France in September without changing to another network?

Hi ​@SGJ  I am sorry to hear of the trouble you have had with your roaming. I would say that rather than being an iD issue, it sounds like it may have been an issue with the French networks your phone had tried to connect to. Had you tried manually searching for the networks in France?

If you had a connection in Switzerland, then it shows your roaming was on correctly.

I agree, roaming appears to be working. However, I tried all 4, maybe 5, French networks manually, all with the same result - no internet connection.
