The challenge is real.
Worst case scenario: your phone won't pick up any network signal for more than a few seconds.
To fix it on iPhones, go to Settings > Mobile Data > SIM Applications > When Abroad > Network Selection > Manual
Remember to follow the same steps to switch from "Manual" to "Automatic" once you get back on Irish soil.
While in Italy, you can only get 3G or EDGE (2G). No 4G available.
Not sure why, but I am pretty confident there is no actionable solution from end users.
I wonder what 48's stance is.

In France. Cut off for 3 days. Engaged with assistance and back in contact. APN 48 Internet then add APN 48months.liffeytelecom.com worked. Strange trying to sign in to orange network without any linkage details but it worked. What an ordeal.

Tap Wi-Fi & network > SIM & network > Access Point Names.
Add the below 2 lines in APN and save it-
Name- 48 internet
APN - 48months.liffeytelecom.com
Then enable the data roaming.
Manual network selection (For calls and texts)
For Android. From the Home screen, swipe up, then tap Settings.
Tap Wi-Fi & internet > SIM & network > Network operators.
Tap Choose automatically to turn off, then tap Ok.
Select from the list of available networks.
Try connecting to every single network and see which one gives the strongest connection.

I think that the problem is that for some people, even when they ensured that the APN field was changed back to 48months.liffeytelecom.com after it unilaterally changed to internet.proximus.be or whatever, they still couldn't get it working. And some people on both iOS and Android failed to even get a connection to a network for just calls/texts while roaming in Europe. It's very odd and it looks like several people failed to get anything working while roaming even though it should just work...

Same here
I am in Italy - both me and my wife unable to have a decent connection.
If we are lucky, we get 3G to browse with one carrier only (WindTre) - speed test says 0.8 Mb/s this morning.
Everyone else (Vodafone, TIM, Iliad) only allow us to use EDGE connection.
Asked support 3 times and every single time they mentioned settings to be changed (and they were up-to-date).
I am seriously thinking to change because as frequent traveller I cannot rely on Edge while Gomo will allow me to use 4G everywhere

It's been a few years since I was roaming abroad (NI, France, Spain) but at that time I could connect to any/all local networks. Maybe something has changed since then but I don't recall anything being posted by 48 about this if it did.
