  Same thing happened to me but this helped -

- Returned Home Have you just returned from abroad and are having difficulty accessing your data?

Lets' get you sorted! You may need to make some changes to your settings to get back up and running. Follow the below steps:

For Android Users:

1. Select the network manually on your phone. Go to settings> Mobile network> Network Operators> From there you select the network manually.
2. If it doesn't help, remove the SIM card from your phone and then insert it back and check. After that reset the network settings on your phone
3. If it still doesn't work,  check the SIM card in another unlocked handset.
4. If the above settings don't work then you may have a faulty SIM and need to order a replacement SIM card online.

For iPhone Users:

1. Go to the Settings/Mobile Data/SIM Applications and select When Abroad --> Network Selection --> Manual --> Home profile. Then search manually for a network and try to connect.
2. To select the network manually Please go to settings> Carrier> Disable the automatic network option> It'll give you the option to select the network manually.
3. If it still doesn't work,  check the SIM card in another unlocked handset.
4. If the above settings don't work then you may have a faulty SIM and need to order a replacement SIM card online.

Try and set via the "SIM Toolkit" menu When Abroad -> Network Selection -> Automatic. On Android you can find that menu in the settings of your 48 sim card.

When I was in Italy, to set the APN, I had to set it to Manual. This was the only way for me to edit the APN settings and get data roaming.

When back to Ireland, I couldn't connect to the network at all, and I tried every single suggestion listed on this forum.

After setting it to "Automatic" everything magically worked (even if the setting seems unrelated)

This thread might also be of interest in this context.

By the way @MarcoF0284, you're relplying to a two year old thread.

Yes, this is where I landed when searching on this forum about the problem I was having. I thought someone with the same problem might find this thread like I did, and would find this information useful, especially the link between roaming settings and coverage when NOT roaming.

Hi all, what am I to do if I'm unable to select ANY of the options in "Sim applications" menu? Two days abroad without service, very frustrating! Thank you
