Hi @Anonymous O2 will not send any new sims abroad as far as I am aware. It needs to be send to a UK address and then sent on by a friend or family member to yourself.

You would need to contact CS from abroad if you want to swap the number. No guarantee of success though

From abroad+44 7860 980 202International rates† Payg
From abroad+44 3448090202

Free† Contract.

You may be better to get a local sim whilst abroad and transfer your contacts over yourself

The only chance you have whilst abroad is to get a local phone shop to cut down your current sim to suit.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
