I rung their emergency "only call if your phone is lost or stolen" line and the bloke on there helped me Says it should work without any problems, as it's automatically set up for roaming

From O2`s website:



Q. Are all O2 mobiles set up to roam?


A. Yes. The only exception is if you have requested that roaming calls are blocked on your mobile.

There are a number of checks you will need to make before travelling abroad. Firstly, you should ensure that your phone works on the networks in the country that you are travelling to. You can do this by checking if your phone is dual, tri or quad band in our "Phone Support" area. Secondly, you should check within "Travelling Abroad" that O2 has a roaming agreement with the country that you are travelling to.

Mods, please dont move this for tonight.

Basically, a mate of mine is already in Athens and i've picked up some tickets for him in London. He did all the arrangements via a contact of his, i just collected them because he's already flown out.

So i'm gonna ring him when i arrive, to arrange to meet up.

Problem is, he's fretting that my phone isnt 'set up for roaming'.

I've got the Sony Ericsson CyberShot phone, quite a modern thing and i assumed it'd automatically work out there, but he's got me worrying now.

Anyone know FOR SURE whether my phone will work automatically in Greece, without me having to actually DO anything?

Please help if you know your stuff 100%.

Many thanks

i have the same phone and it worked for me roaming no problem.
I havnt read al of the thread yet, but you may have been advised by some tohers of the same, also, as the second poster mentioned, it could be down to your service provider wether it is enabled or not.

You know it mate.

[Revo]

got two blags blags here, your mate will never know, honest

I have a very,very **** phone on O2 and it roamed OK in France, without any setting up.

If your phone don't work try sending messages via scousernet - they just relay it to everyone next to them and eventually it'll get through.
