mobile not working abroad

[JH18]

Hello,

My phone is not connecting to a network in Greece. I have followed all the set up sets, yes the data roaming is on, yes there is no spending limits and yes the APN is not working. I have followed all the FAQ steps

This happened last year too but for a few days it was not an issue. I am in Greece for 4 weeks and need to sort this out

Any suggestions beyond the FAQ?

Thanks!

Checking that the roaming settings in the SIM Toolkit are set to International. Sometimes the automatic setting does not work.

Thanks for your reply. I've double checked any the SIM data roaming is set up and appears to be working fine.

Thanks for trying

Many thanks,

Hi Hayley,

All the sim setting seem fine. I'm trying to manually scan and select the network as suggested.

I have these options

Vodaphone GR

GR cosmote

WIND GR

I have tried to connect manually to these net works and I get this message 'your SIM doesn't allow a connection to this network'

Hi Hayley

No the sim is fine, it's still not connecting

Any other suggestions, I note this is the 3rd time this has happened to me while abroad using this phone number but with different handsets. Please can the SIM account be checked to ensure it's enabled at your end. I am aware I've been on this plan for 12 years so perhaps an account update it needed

thanks

@Hayley_S

Hello @JH18,

Please can you tell me if the SIM works fully in a different handset? What make and model phone do you have?

Many thanks,

[JH18]

The SIM has in the past worked in a different handset in France but then failed in Montenegro. The SIM has never worked abroad in my current Samsung S6 mini.

Please let me know if you need any more information.
