Pay and go topup from Canada - no UK credit card or address

[Anonymous]

I cannot seem to be able to use my Canadian credit card as the billing address is obviously not in the UK.  Any ideas?

Strange one, what options have you tried? 

There are a few.

If you get no joy with those then I can only suggest you contact o2 directly. 

Are you in Canada at the moment? 

Another option maybe to get a local PAYG sim card which I would have though would be a cheaper option for you anyway.

Thanx. Each time I try to register my credit card it insists on a UK address. I live in Canada & bought the phone in Sept in the UK for international travel, mainly emergencies.

Let us know how you get on with those options as it might help somebody in the same situation as yours. 

Hope you get it sorted

You can buy top ups via eBay and paypal so it should negate the need for a uk address.

Hope this helps.

Just read about it whilst trying to search for a way to use paypal to pay O2 accounts.

Now what I'm thinking is O2 wallet is international why is O2 not allowing you to pay a bill or top up through your O2 wallet:/

Reading the O2 site apparently you can too up via Facebook

Apparently calling 4444 from your phone will also allow you to top up abroad.

Call *111*# if Canada doesn't allow short code dialling (do they?)

Not sure if this negates the the canadian card though
