Unfortunately many people still seem to have problems when trying to use roaming services for some reason and nobody from 48 has ever explained why or provided a guaranteed fix.

As such, the usual generic advice for roaming issues applies...

If your SIM predates January 2023 then maybe get a replacement in case it helps with roaming issues:

It may be worthwhile reviewing these two threads in case any of the suggestions help to avoid roaming problems:

• https://community.48.ie/t5/Internet/How-to-fix-no-network-service-when-roaming/m-p/56352

If you still have problems then you'll probably need to contact 48 support for further assistance.
