Hi,
I have seen that there are recent charges on my account for calls to me while I am in Bolivia, but that are spam calls and that I did not answer. Can you advise?
Both calls were charged at £2.00.
Thank you.

If your voicemail answered the call, £2 is the minimum charge.

If you didn't answer or rejected the call then there would be a charge for the return leg back to the UK voicemail.
This is standard practice and I often advise people to turn of voicemail before leaving the UK

Same has just happened to me whilst abroad. Spam call came in, not answer, call lasted 5 seconds, charged £2.00 by O2. License to print money.

I've roamed since the late 90s and always turned off my voicemail before going.
Only time that changed was when we got 'roam like home' when in the EU

Helpful info. Would it also work to set all calls to divert to voicemail before leaving the UK as then there wouldn't be a return leg from overseas? Thanks.

No.
Once your phone registers on a foreign network, that's where the system will see it until back home.
