Nothing we or O2 can do
The ability to make calls is down to the Greek networks.
Some networks limit roaming on 2G. O2 are supposed to be doing that shortly, stopping none UK customers from using the 2G network.
You would need to find out the Greek carriers policy

And pay Greek international rates back to the UK, from a "strange"number, @omaghlad30 - except where you can use WhatsApp as mentioned earlier.

He can't do that for all numbers if you read his reply.......

Just a thought @omaghlad30
You sat you can't connect to Vodafone, if that's because it says forbidden, you can still try it when roaming. Forbidden networks only apply when in UK.

Since the closure of Skype, there are other methods of VOIP calls to landlines like Teams or some other app such as https://yollacalls.com/blog/landline-international-calls/
Might be worth looking into @omaghlad30 ?
