Hi ​@Technolight
 

I’m really sorry to hear you’ve had trouble with your service after crossing into Brussels. I understand how important it is to stay connected while travelling.

 

From what you’ve described, the issue is likely related to roaming network selection and/or account settings.

 

To help get this working again, please check the following:

  • Roaming is switched ON in your iD Mobile app/account settings
  • Your Bill Cap is set to £0, which helps prevent any out-of-plan restrictions affecting roaming
  • Manually select a network in Belgium we partner with BASE and Orange Belgium, so please try connecting to one of these networks if it doesn’t connect automatically

Once connected to a partner network, service should resume as normal for calls, texts, and data.

 

If it still doesn’t work after trying this, let me know and I can look into it further for you.
