data roaming will not switch on or off on 16proma

It’s a iphone16promax and I’m in India on holiday. I need to switch on data roaming to access a package of calls and data whilst here. I can’t toggle the data off or on. Any ideas?

Here is what a search using intelligence has yielded:


If you're asking about a network in India that is compatible with an EE SIM card, there is no direct equivalent network in India that seamlessly works with EE; to use your EE SIM in India, you'll need to purchase a roaming add-on and expect additional charges as you'll be outside of the standard EE coverage area. 


Key points about using EE in India:


  • Roaming charges:
  • You will incur roaming charges when using your EE SIM in India as it's not considered part of the "Roam Like Home" zone. 
  • Roaming add-ons:
  • To manage costs, consider purchasing a specific roaming data add-on for India through EE. 
  • Local Indian networks:
  • If you need more reliable connectivity in India, consider buying a local SIM card from providers like Airtel, Reliance Jio, or Vodafone. 


My advice would be to see if you can contact EE Support online and ask them about the add-on that you will need. If that is not possible, then consider buying a local SIM card. Jio is a major provider in India.
