Providing roaming is turned in in your account and International Call Baring turned off.....then
Find SIM Toolkit somewhere in your menu I think Connections on iOS (Some Andriod call it Virgin)
Select Roaming and change it from Automatic to International

Hi @latham92,
Welcome to our Community Forums! Thank you for your first post and I'm very sorry to hear that you're having some issues accessing your network while abroad. We understand that this can be very frustrating.
Have you been able to take a look at our Using Virgin Mobile Abroad page to see if this can help with your settings at all?
You can also take a look at our Roaming Costs in Italy page for more information about the Roaming charges. If you have a spending cap in place, your Mobile may not connect to a network automatically as the roaming charges may take you above your spending cap.
Please take a look at what our VIP @enlli suggested and see if this can help. Let us know how you get on and if you need any further help or support.
Thank you.
