APN settings for EU
I've got an iPhone device running iOS 17.3, DavidCr_2353705.
When I'm in the Settings > Mobile Service section, there's an area/section with the title "THREE". Within this section there an setting option "Mobile Data Network" - looking here you see the APN value, which should be "mob.asm.net", if you intend to use mobile data while you're abroad.
Your calls and texts will work, whatever the APN value.
The following forum articles should help:

I am unable to change the APN settings on my Android phone - it is all greyed out. Mine seems to be locked to Name 3. APN three.co.uk MMSC: mms.um.three.co.uk10021/mmsc
Will I be able to make calls and texts from abroad please?
Okay sarahhoare40, SMARTY have an online article saying the APN needs to be changed in order to use mobile data overseas.

Sometimes the Wi-Fi must be turned OFF, and Mobile Data turned ON, before you can edit the settings referred to in the above article.
