Calling UK from abroad

Dear team 

 

I am an O2 monthly pay user. I am in Pakistan travelling currently. I have bought the £ 7 travel bolt on to call from Pakistan. Despite that my phone is not calling out to the UK, it keeps saying call failed. I can use Whatsapp etc but I need to make a call to a landline in the UK. I have good signals, my phone is switched on, good Wifi as well, and have data roaming turned on as well. I recall that O2 had to do something to help with this last time. But I can't even call O2, as their numbers are all UK based, hence turning to online for some answers and help. 

 

My no: *********** 

Thanks

Make sure you are putting +44 before the number you are calling, @OsmanMalik 

All contact info here: https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

If your data roaming is working, unlikely you gave a problem with your roaming setup.

Manually searching for a different network may make a difference, even if the network shows as "Forbidden".

Good luck!

Turn off your wifi and see if that is confusing things.

Wifi calling doesn't work when abroad.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
