Did you try resetting your Network Settings then rebooting?

T mobile on all day 

couldn’t get 2g - only 3 or 4 - still nothing 

re started phone like 5 times

Hey @Fiona66 

I'm in the states often and this is what I do to resolve it.

I go into my network settings, I turn OFF automatic and then pick T-Mobile. Then I make sure my data roaming is also turned on them I reboot. From there, I'm up and running and watching horrible cat videos. Ugh.

if you paid $30 for the 15 Day US Roaming add-on, you get talk / text and 3GB's data. Make sure Roaming Data is enabled in Settings on the phone. You should have no trouble with send / rec texts. Your phone needs to be on PM's whitelist for VOLTE to best talk-ability. Let us know which phone you have and we can look to see if it is on the list. Otherwise, you need a cellphone that can drop to 2G for calls as the US has shut down their 3G. VOLTE works on LTE so hopefully you have a newer phone.

If possible, put your phone to 4G/LTE and connect to T-Mobile or AT&T.   

If calls still don't work, put your phone to 2G and connect to T-Mobile. From the settings menu, turn on data roaming. 

Might have to restart phone.

I hope this will be helpful.
