Eamonn, you need to go into settings and turn on the data and roming thingy in there. I mightn't even be calling it its proper title at the moment but this option is more than lightly turned off. I just have come back from the states myself and I didn't use my phone for that purpose as there was a mix up with the plan I am currently on with vodafone but I did make calls and also my clock automatically changed over to the timezone I was in also for me. Just make sure that the plan that you are on with your provider allows for roming at no extra costs when you are out of the country. Cheers, Nicky.
