All users beware of going to northern Cyprus although the whole world knows it as CYPRUS 02 have decided it is turkey even though turkey is 468 km away . I have incurred extra charges of £39 for visiting northern Cyprus NOT turkey

@Bobsiddons See the link above. Northern Cyprus is still under Turkish control, and is not part of the EU, hence your extra charges. Nothing O2 can do about that.
