Forgot to set up roaming

adriandilly

Hi. I'm currently in the US but I forgot to set up my tmobile phone for roaming before i left UK
Is there anyway I can do it from here?
Ive searched for networks and have found Tmobile (US) and AT&T but neither will allow me to connect
Is it possible to put manual settings in somewhere?
Will I have to fork out for calling the tmobile from abroad number +447....150 (?) from a payphone or could my mobile already be set up and im doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance

Unfortunatly yes you need to call them to get it enabled on the account, theres nhothing you can do on the handset.

You could buy a local sim, but that depends on if your handset it locked.

On the brightside your not going to be paying a fortune in data charges....

In a similar situation Orange did insist in a phone call after I asked to enable roaming by a e-mail.

Are you on contract or something? I know for sure that payg roam by default - no need to do anything. It just connects.

I agree - buy a local sim - i got one in France (Orange) for 15 euros for one month, all you can eat, calls msgs & data

but my phone was unlocked so that wasn't an issue
