Hello

Landed in Cyprus as I walked through the airport at larnacre Cyprus my phone fired up with emails and a couple of messages .

I turned on my data and checked for service and I got h+ symbol and 4 bars .

Fired up a couple of websites and worked fine

Will check calls and texts later and service around Cyprus

@bluemoonbaz Have a great time in the sun.

Wondering if you will be close to the N.Cyprus border at any point?

If so, watch out if the phone locks on to the Turkish Network as you could be charged from airtime credit at Rest of the World paygo prices.

Glad that the EU roaming is working as it should.

Enjoy
