    Hi All I am having an issue with data access when outside the UK. Spent the last week in France and also a day trip about 3 months ago both times no online data for Nav or connect but all fine once home.
    I have a Gifgaff (O2) sim in the slot and on my iPhone ( phone data is fine when in France) roaming is selected MMI but as soon as we arrive in France no data but sim connects to service provider and is the same provider as shown on the phone.
    Am I missing something on the MMI ? have checked setup with the manual all appers fine ( have tech pack high not sd card based) using latest map updates. Sim connects at 3g and 4g. Any ideas Thanks in advance

    I think this is your answer. Check your contract with GiffGaff for the car SIM. Some still do not have roaming enabled despite the rule changes.

    Is there anything at Gifgaff account level that has roaming blocked on the car's SIM?

    Did you stick the car SIM into your phone to see if roaming data really is available on that sim?

    If it is a PAYG SIM then there could be issues too.

    Thanks to all so far. Have not put in phone as that would make it micro & do not want it coming apart in the car slot causing problems. Will look into contract but its on the same deal as the iPhone sim. With regard to PAYG its a monthly repeating contract that I can change at any time so not a lack of credit as auto top-up enabled. Thanks so far to all...

    I also have problems, but only in France! I use a German O2 Pay as You Go with LTE/4G that works perfect in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Holland, Belgium and UK but since a few months not in France. It used to work in France and then suddenly one day, no more......no idea why. Dealer is scratching his head.

    Thanks for that re German sim. Thinking about it we were in Belgium back in May and I think it was ok then but it was only an overnight trip and I knew where I was going.
