I'm on vacation in Amsterdam and bought a local sim from Vodafone.

It looked like it worked and I got 4g fine, but after a moment I got a notification that I need to activate the phone and lost mobile data. Activation fails each time and tells me I need to contact support.
Exact same thing happened to my wife on her Google Pixel (not XL).
The vodafone guy was clueless.

I've switched several sim cards and operators in my home country (not Europe) without any trouble and never encountered the phont activation stuff.

Help!
