Hi 999Rossman, 

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums. 

 

 Apologies for the issue you're being faced with - just as a start point, and I would only be honest as much as I can try and help we can't always 100% guarantee a connection whilst you're abroad. When you're connected the network which you mention, are you able to do anything at all? Or does it not work altogether? 

 

Cheers, 

Ryan.  

Switching off WiFi I appear to be able to use call and can certainly connect to U.K. numbers.

Data there is nothing - no emails, internet or sat nav.

The signal is strong in Morocco with 4G coverage by far the norm so it’s not the quality of the signal. 

The cop out of not being able to guarantee connection is not acceptable and the service offered by your offshore customer service team was nothing short of awful

I'm not sure where it is a cop out and I apologise you feel that way, I was just mentioning the fact of it not that it's definitely the case here. 

 

Can you confirm which handset you have please? 

 

Cheers, 

Ryan.

That's great - thank you.

 

We have some really useful information/tips to try from our community member @enlli - can you try the following please:

 

For iOS:
Select Settings from the Home Screen
Select Phone Icon
Select SIM Applications
Select Roaming
Select Select mode
Select Manual
Select International and you are done, go back Home screen to retry

 

To change back when returning to the UK:
It is critical that you set the SIM roaming applet back to Automatic mode once in the Uf Settings > Mobile Data > Sim applications
Select SIM Applications
Select Roaming
Select Select mode
Select National - you are done, go back to Home screen

 

Cheers,

Ryan.
