EU Roaming stopped

So, I was in Italy for a week last week and I got around 6 days of usage of my Smarty SIM without issue. Without notice, no texts or emails, being sent to me, the data went off and wouldn't reconnect. I tried all the recommended solutions on here but nothing would work.

I reached out to support on Saturday morning and was told that I has exceeded my EU data allowance. I was surprised, I was only away for 6 days, received no text or email advising at the 80% roaming limit or that it was exceeded, and my phone has only used 6GB in Roaming data since last year so how could I have exceeded the 12GB EU roaming limit? I have the 50GB plan normally here in the UK. I had to buy an eSim to get me through the last few days of my trip.

Any advice or observations would be appreciated.

    Hi, I've tried that and no joy. I've also restarted my phone but nothing works 😭

      AndrewR_3015632 Can you find out if there is a local mast problem?

      Also, have you checked in the phone settings that you definitely have not used up 12Gb? No chance that you accidentally turned off mobile data roaming?

    Same problem here in Spain. Was working fine for 4 days then suddenly stopped working. 

    Absolutely no chance I've used 12gbs in 4 days

      AndrewR_3015632 It might be worth trying to manually select one of the available networks there in your phone settings, rather than it just selecting a network automatically.

      When I was in Majorca last year I got a text from Smarty to let me know when I'd nearly used my 12GB roaming allowance, then I think another text when I'd fully used it, so if you haven't had those texts, you're probably right that you haven't used up your allowance.

    Unfortunately falkirk81, forum members can't look at your SMARTY account, making it hard to comment about roaming data usage.

    Sometimes a NETWORK RESET can help when you're having trouble with your mobile data connection. 

    Did you double-check the APN value was "mob.asm.net" (in lowercase)?
