What country are you roaming in?

What network are you connected to?

That doesn't make sense to me. If you are in Ireland then you are not roaming so why do you think you need a roaming calls add-on? In Ireland you just connect to 48 (or O2 if you don't see 48 listed - happens to some people) and make calls etc via your normal membership allowances.

Hope this helps.

I don't think that you can roam on another Irish network when you're using 48. My understanding is that you have to connect via 48/O2 (48 essentially being an Mobile Virtual Network Operator on the O2 network). If you cannot connect to 48/O2 then I don't think that a roaming add-on is going to help. I'm open to correction on this though. For what it's worth the 48/O2 network coverage is outlined here:

Hope this helps.
