Hi

I’ve arrived in Paris this afternoon on business and have no network coverage.

ive noticed that I am not alone and Virgin should have sent out another SIM card early October or at least contacted customers.

is this correct? Or am I missing something obvious.

ive tried switching on and off and checking roaming etc……

many thanks anyone who can help

Hi @456m654,
 

Thank you for your post and welcome to our community forums. We're here to help.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a bit of trouble roaming in Paris today. Did you activate Roaming before you left the UK? Have you been able to use Roaming services in the past?

Thanks,

Great. Just change it back to National or Automatic on your return

Excellent news @456m654, and thank you @enlli for that little hack - very handy for someone like myself, who isn't an IPhone user!

Kindest regards,
