Solved: Foreign address

Anonymous · ‎01-12-2015

I want to use a debit card with a foreign billing address but the site doesn't provide for a foreign address.

What can be done?

@Anonymous you cannot use a credit or debit card with a foreign billing address. It must be registered to a UK address.

Edit: That's going through O2, but as you can see from the posts below there are alternatives.

I already know this and I think this is ridiculous. I travel twice a year to the UK to visit my family and sometimes run out of credit at the airport.

You can top up any UK mobile with any card here:

Good link @MI5. Should help the OP and anyone else in that situation.

If you don't have a UK debit card there are a few options for you.

Get family to top up
Use an ATM to top up
Buy a voucher with your native card at any major retailer
Use eBay to buy a top up voucher

Those are the o2 terms and conditions presently but maybe they will change them in the future. There has been many problems with fraudulent topups over the years. O2 set the ground rules to try and minimise the risk.

Comes with a cost I would think. Maybe 10%?
