My phone is a samsung. Texts and calls did work when I was last abroad, just not the internet.
I'm flying tomorrow morning at 9am so when I land I will be able to see if it works! If not I'll try what you suggested and hope for the best. I didn't do that last time so there's a chance it might work.
