EE Roaming APN

EE uses the same APN for both UK and international roaming: everywhere. You do not need to change your APN settings when travelling abroad on EE. If data isn't working after enabling roaming, verify the APN is still set correctly:

APN: everywhere — works for UK mobile data and international roaming.

EU Roaming Policy — EE

EE's Smart Benefits plans include EU roaming — you use your UK allowance in 47 European destinations at no extra cost. Other plans (e.g. older tariffs) may charge a daily roaming fee. Check your plan in the My EE app before travelling.

⚠ Post-Brexit: UK mobile networks are not required to offer EU roaming as part of a standard plan. Always verify your plan's roaming terms in the carrier app before travelling to avoid unexpected charges.

Troubleshooting EE Roaming

  1. Enable data roaming in Settings › Mobile Networks — it is often off by default.
  2. Restart your phone after arriving in the destination country to register on a local partner network.
  3. Toggle Aeroplane Mode on for 30 seconds then off to force a network re-scan.
  4. Check APN settings — verify APN is everywhere and hasn't been changed.
  5. Check your plan includes roaming for your destination — not all destinations are covered on all plans.
  6. Try manual network selection: Settings › Mobile Networks › Network Operators › select a partner carrier manually.
  7. Contact EE support: 150 (free from EE) or 0800 956 6000.
