Just ported over this afternoon

[#1]

I am in the UK but mobile is showing roaming and Orange on the sim management screen!

Roaming is switched off, I have had a couple of incoming calls on the correct number. 

Should I be concerened re the roaming?

What's your rough location?

Hi cappismum!

Thanks for getting in touch with us! 

The SIM will try to connect to the closest local mast that is available, if the mast is a little further afield, it may pick up other networks that are classed as roaming.

Can you manual search for networks? This may help in connecting to the EE network that we currently use. 

Also, as you've recently ported, I would advise to re-boot your handset, you can do this by the following:

• Turn the handset off
• Take the SIM card out
• Leave it for a couple of minutes
• Replace the SIM card
• Turn the handset back on again

This will refresh the signal to the SIM card and any changes made will be applied.

I understand you have turned roaming off on your handset however, If you could send me a private message, I can also turn international and roaming access off on your account, if it isn't already and this will ensure that you don't incur any charges. If you do plan to go on holiday and wish to roam in the future, you can always contact us and we'll switch that back on for you!

Hi Rebeka

Apparently Plusnet have 'hit a snag' with my number porting and weren't able to complete this yesterday as promised. As my old number is now out of action since yesterday, this is causing me significant problems.  

Can you escalate this to your Operations team please as I need this resolved today.

Thanks for your help

Hi cappismum,

If you send me a private message with your account details, I can turn international and roaming access off on your account so that you won't incur any extra charges.
