Arrived in Spain using Virgin mobile, no connection whatsoever so ever, its telling me to t re register for the mobile app, won't let me as you need sim to work not WiFi, never had this issue before and been with virgin for years, anyone else having issues and got a solution?
 
This. Go into network settings, check mobile data and roaming are on, then restart your phone. Worked a treat for me this evening when I landed until o2 text me saying it's £7.20/mb! (Not in Spain)
Pheewww I'm O2 and heading out early morning BUT your saying no roaming charges in Spain, is that correct mate?
 
Turn roaming on in your settings.

If still not working, night need to go into your account to enable international roaming (you have to do this on Giffgaff for example).

If in doubt, go buy a local pay as you go sim from a supermarket or tobacco shop, which will probably be cheaper anyway.

If you're with o2 you have a roaming allowance of 25gb of data before you'll get any charges, if you go over it it is £3.50 per GB of data used

Dude are you old ? A sim in phone is so 1990’s Have a google of esim and if you have an iPhone it’s a case of scanning a QR code and viola…….cheap as fck data on anther sim, uses dual sim and you can choose what you sim you want to use for data your standard one or your esim.

(btw it’s a way for you married chaps having other birds as well :oops:, payg and only one phone but can have 2 numbers)
 
Definitely restart your phone.
then go to settings and make sure roaming is activated.
Me and the missus (no pics) were caught out with this earlier this year.
ALthough last week no problems in Portugal
 
I wouldn’t bother if it out Manchester the phone masts couldn’t cope come 6pm i doubt they’ll be anyone getting a connection in Seville
 
Not letting me on pornhub just now.

Extremely annoying.
Here you go bud
