Phone not working overseas

Morrile
Up to speed

Hello,

When I transferred my number from Three using the phone abroad was switched on. I am now in Spain and cannot connect to any mobile network, most inconvenient! Does it auto switch off when not used?

I have gone into my account and switched Going Abroad Off and back On, yet could someone confirm when it should be working as I need the phone to receive my test certificate for boarding the plane and customs. 

Kind regards,

Morrile

Don't know if this helps  Look in particular at the SIM roaming settings
