One of the many questions that is asked in the Forum is regarding Roaming in Turkey and Cyprus...

The UK and the World have become a very confusing place regarding LTE Frequencies / Bands and who owns what. People ask many times, if I buy a phone in China or the US, will it work ok in the UK.

I've put a list together at the best of what I can find and my knowledge to help where possible.

Many Quesions are asked on the forum regarding what’s the difference between International Calling from the UK and Roaming Abroad.

One of the many questions on here is about PAC or PUK codes, but there is a lot of confusion over which code is actually needed.

We get a number of questions about how discounts and data promotions are applied to O2 tariffs and why it appears not to be added to the account.

In order to help, I've created a small guide.

What is SignVideo? If you communicate using British Sign Language (BSL) then contacting companies over the phone can be quite a challenge! There are of course Text Relay services (formerly known as TextDirect and Typetalk) such as NGTS, however they can be quite cumbersome - wouldn't it be great if you could just have a normal, free-flowing conversation using BSL in the same way that others pick up the phone and talk to an advisor? Well, the great news is that with SignVideo you can do exactly that!

Do O2 offer the SignVideo service? Yes, absolutely! O2 are proud to offer this innovative solution for BSL users to contact the Customer Service team. Lots of other companies use SignVideo too, which is great as it means that it's getting easier for BSL users to communicate in the way that spoken language users do.

I posted quite extensively on a recent thread about credit files and realised that there were quite a few misconceptions, so thought a bit of a mini guide about O2 and your credit files may help fill in some blanks, and also provide a resource to help other customers in the future.

Some of this is about credit files in general, and some specific to O2, although it all ties in together.

One thing that does get asked is regarding coverage and issues. So I thought a few websites would help.

• O2 own Website for coverage https://www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker
• O2 Coverage Faults http://status.o2.co.uk

I see many posts on here regarding the cost of Cruise Liners or Aircraft charges when using phones.

Other posts are, well it was a European Network shown on the bill which should be included etc.

Let me try to explain and put myths to sleep.

Roaming Changes from 15th June 2017 PAY AS YOU GO ONLY

From the 15th June 2017 all EU networks have to offer “free” roaming from one EU country to another (Only when roaming in another EU Country other than your own, for us this would be UK.)

However there a number of things that people need to be made aware of and what it all means to them.
