International customer Service number

[Anonymous]

I am currently in New Zealand and have been since August. Everything was fine I was using my mobile as per usual in the UK. Everything was fine I was topping up via the web etc and my phone was working fine. As of mid December my phone suddenly and inexplicably stopped working. Whatever i try to do I just receive a message saying that there is no network.
I would like to get this problem sorted out asap but I have been unable to call an O2 advice line from abroad. Can you please give me a number that I can call from NZ that works, all of the number on the site when called say that they are no in use. and yes I have been using the 0044/+44 prefix.

Thank you

I found this which may help:

All 0844 numbers can be reached from abroad via +44 844 xxx xxxx.

Please note that some smaller international telecom providers do not support the calls to UK's non geographic numbers.

Just saying that 'some countries don't support non-geographic numbers' doesn't really cut it.

I have been trying to call customer services from Korea, and like blindpilot, there is no regular number to call. First thing I tried was getting rid of the '0' and putting +44 at the beginning.

Why can't O2 simply provide a customer services number that works overseas - which let's face it is when a) they make the most money from you and b) you are most likely to need their services.

Grrr...

I don't see how it's O2's fault that a foreign landline operator doesn't recognise a valid UK number.
I've been to places that didn't recognise the 02 area code for London!

try their switchboard 01617055000, when the automated msg ends it'll transfer you to a switchboard operator

You need to ring that number within office hours, otherwise you just get the recorded opening hours message.Just check the time difference before you call from overseas.
