Hi,

I'm very sorry if the answer to my question is probably on this webpage somewhere but i have looked & had no luck.

I am currently in Goa/India and have my o2 pay and go sim card in a Samsung SGH-F480i Tocco. I am only a light user as i spend alot of time abroad and so use local sim cards but always keep my UK number on so that i can see who i have missed ect...it was only when the bank commented that i didn't have answerphone on my mobile that i thought i should set it up. I tried 901 & another number but they just say to call customer services.

Can anyone possibly help?..Thanks in advance to anyone who can.

King regards. Andy.

You would need to set it up when in the UK. Not possible to do whilst you are out the country I'm afraid. The short codes to turn on/off are 1750/1760 but it is advisable to turn off when abroad anyway to save on excessive charges for using the service.
