Paying by bank transfer?

[Anonymous]

I've got a bit of a vicious circle going on here...

My bank has done one of those routine fraud protection things on my debit card, meaning that until I contact them to confirm a list of recent transactions, I can't use my card. The problem is that my O2 phone has been cut off from making outgoing calls because I am unable to pay the bill using the card, so I can't phone the bank!

I've tried paying my bill using the card (there's enough money in the account) but it keeps coming back declined.

Is there a way that I can pay my phone bill by bank transfer in order to get my phone back up and running so that I can call the bank? I can't seem to find the bank details to pay into anywhere online.

No I'm afraid you can't pay by bank transfer

Can you not borrow another phone to call the bank...? Landline, payphone....?

That would seem the most obvious solution

Or actually go to the bank?

I would call O2 to discuss your payment options - I know that bank transfers were possible for certain customers but possibly not anymore.

How about using someone elses card and transfering the money into their bank account

not actually sure you can do that because the dd will be allocated to the account associated with the contract
