Spurious call charges whilst abroad

I am abroad, not using my phone to make calls or answering them when I am called. I have numerous £2.00 charges added to my latest bill which when I look at the detail are listed as being calls to my own number with duration of only a few seconds. Has anyone else had this problem - I am at a loss as to what to do about it as there is no way I can contact O2 as I am 13 hours adrift timewise.

Most likely either calls to you being picked up by the voicemail service. Person rings, call goes to you but as soon as voicemal kicks in they put the phone down. 

Biggest problem at the moment is these silent calls from spammers that don't trigger your phone to ring but still get recorded as a call. I get them at home. Phone doesn't ring but my messaging service says I have a missed call.

Also any use of the phone will trigger the charge, app handshakes will do it

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

You need to turn off your voicemail Guide: All you need to know about O2 Voicemail 901 

If you can't do it now from your phone, ask customer services to do it for you.

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.
