receiving calls from my UK sim when overseas

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi

I have two mobile phones. An iPhone 5 and an older Nokia C7. When in the UK I have a uk sim in my iphone. I go to Northern Cyprus (The Turkish side) regular. As my iphone 5 was first set up there using my KCell Turkish number, then, whenever I'm back  here I put my KCell Turkish sim back into my IPhone and swop my English sim and put it into the Nokia C7. I use the C7 only for any incoming calls on my UK number, it's essential I can be contacted from my UK number

This time when I put my English sim into my Nokia C7 it woudn't activate. it showed a message "Offline"

I can't get it to connect, I fear I may have damaged the UK sim in the swop over?. Is there such a service to divert calls, where anyone that calls my UK number will be directed/diverted to my Turkish KCell number.

 

Thanks

 

KD

No you can't divert to an international number.
Only another UK number and only then if it is a contract. Not possible at all on PAYG.

You can divert calls on monthly contract though I'm not sure if you can divert to an international number. Does the sim work when you put it back in the iphone?

If contract you can download TuGo to receive calls over wifi but you need the UK sim to receive a sms code. But you can use TuGo alongside your Turkish sim. My contract phone over here is with DTAC so my O2 sim just sits in the drawer and friends and family contact me via TuGo.
