    Since posting, I have since been told that since the EU stopped roaming charges being made by mobile cos. that they only allow you 90 days to use PAYG texting and then they put a block on your account. Don't know if that is true but perhaps someone else does?
    Yes, not only for texting but there's a fair usage time limit allowed in general for the 'Roam like at Home' regulations, otherwise everyone would start using a PAYG SIM from an EU country where they don't live, to avoid all international call charges to other EU countries. Had you been roaming for ninety days already when your service was interrupted?

    I think all the networks on both payg and contract only allow roaming for 90 days now. It's meant for visits not for long stay or moving oversea's.
