Don't assume when roaming you'll automatically have access to anything

You can have roaming activated whilst abroad by calling your
UK networks CS

No, I do not, I just simply forgot to activate it as until recently I was
happily roaming with Virgin OVP. However, as one of the main reasons for
having a mobile with me abroad is for emergencies I am curious whether it
would have worked had I needed it and my credit on PAYG run out. It was Gran
Canaria.
