Calls and texts not working in Bulgaria

Recentjy joined Plusnet mobile. Taken phone to Bulgaria. Gets connected to Vivacom no problem, but when I try to make calis, a message says outgoing calls are barred. Friends can’t call me, and I can’t send or receive texts. Online chat no use - suggested it was a handset problem. Never had a problem with EE. Any ideas? I have also e mailed customer service, but got no reply. Can’t call, as calling is barred! Very frustrating.

Re: Calls and texts not working in Bulgaria

It could be that PN don't have a roaming agreement with Vivacom. Try manually connecting to one of the other networks, I think there are 4 networks in Bulgaria.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Thanks MisterW. I have tried other networks but could get no service at all. In my online chat with Plusnet they did not suggest that have no partnership, and Bulgaria is listed in the list of “Roam like at home” countries.

In that case, if you can't call support, then you need to persevere with online chat or wait for one of the forum PN help team to respond to this thread. You certainly should be able to roam in Bulgaria!

Re: Calls and texts not working in Bulgaria

There should be a send private message button on my profile but if you click on this link: https://community.plus.net/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/45633 that should take you directly to the page where you can PM me.
