Going abroad?
You can use your new mobile in any country in the world, but please remember to call Customer Services on 0800 783 2326 three days in advance of travelling, to confirm that your roaming service has been activated.
International call charges – please note
While there is no charge to set up international roaming, call charges differ greatly from country to country, and international calls are charged at the prevailing rates. Please be aware that while you’re abroad, you have to pay for any calls you receive as well as those that you make. Eligibility for roaming is subject to status, and you may be required to show a satisfactory payment history before this service is activated.
Dialling from abroad
It’s easy to make calls when you’re overseas. All you need to remember is to dial [+] and the country code before the number you wish to dial. e.g. [+44] for the UK. Remember to leave out the first ‘0’ from the number. E.g. to call from Spain to London, dial ‘+442071234567’ not ‘+4402071234567’.
To call the UK from abroad
•Insert +
•Then 44
•Delete the ‘0’ prefix
•Then, dial your number 2071234567
A time-saving tip
Why not put the [+44] prefix in front of your friends’ numbers in your mobile’s address book before you go overseas? They’ll work just the same in the UK, but remember to
drop the ‘0’, as above.
