Hi edinren, 

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums. 

 

Sorry to hear you're not getting any connection whilst abroad we can't always guarantee 100% we can offer a service whilst away but I can certainly check your account to see if your profile is set up to do so 🙂

 

I will send you over a private message to confirm some details. 

 

Cheers, 

Ryan.
