@O2Richard 

It does say that calling 901 will work in most countries though?

Is there a list of the countries it does and doesn't work from?

Hey @MI5 @Arshad 

 

To access your voicemail abroad, you need set a direct dial number before you travel abroad as most countries don't accept the short code number


OK, I think I understand now @O2Richard 

So how does a customer setup a direct dial number?

To obtain the Voicemail roaming number call 1780 free from the mobile (whilst in the UK), or +447802090100, and a text with the voicemail roaming number will be sent to your mobile.
 
Before travelling abroad, you will need to change your voicemail pin code from the default. If you don't and you are roaming on a network which doesn't support short codes, then you will not be able to retrieve 901 messages until you can dial the short code 901
