I do not understand why I am charged for making calls in Guernsey - I have a bolt on - I can use my phone in Europe and England.  I have had my account for over 20 years!

Guernsey and Jersey and Isle of Man numbers are exceptions:

https://www.o2.co.uk/help/account-and-billing/other-numbers-and-charges/jersey-guernsey-and-isle-of-...

Calls made whilst on Guernsey should be free for monthly contracts but chargeable if on PAYG https://www.o2.co.uk/international/using-your-phone-abroad 

Looks like you should contact customer service as they can help with that – message them on Social Media if that works best for you -on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) or call on 202 or 0344 809 0202

First Gurnsey is not part of the UK or the EU so is not covered by Roam like Home agreements 

Normally Contract customers can use their phone there but there is a fair usage limit of 63 days before they may charge as it is intended for tourist and business trips

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

The mobile networks of Manx Telecom and Sure on the Isle of Man suffer similarly.
