In order to make international phone calls from the UK, you will need to add credit to the sim card. You can only add credit whilst you are in the UK, at O2 stores, supermarkets, petrol stations and convenience stores. Unfortunately, you are unable to top-up online via the O2 website, as it requires a UK debit/credit card that is linked to a UK residential address.

Alternatively, we recommend that you use data based apps such as Whatsapp, Viber, Skype, etc to make international phone calls rather than adding credit for international calls.

Your phone number can be found on the sim packaging. The phone number starts with 07. The sim card is a local UK sim card, hence it will have a UK phone number. 

Should anyone want to call you on your phone number, they would need to drop the leading 0 and add the UK country code +44 in front of the phone number,

For example, if the phone number noted on the pack is 07307452691, they would need to dial +447307452691. (To get the + on a mobile phone, press and hold 0 until it turns into a +)

You simply need to have both MOBILE DATA and DATA ROAMING functions ENABLED/TURNED ON in your device to use the service. The sim card activates as soon as you insert the sim card in your device. It is on this date that your 10 days of service will commence.

The features on the sim card are valid for 30 days of service from activation date. 

The UK Prepaid SIM Card plan will last 30 Days from activation. If you are staying longer than 30 days, you will need to recharge the sim. As mentioned above, if you wish to add credit or recharge the sim you can only do this whilst you are in the UK, at O2 stores, supermarkets, petrol stations and convenience stores. Unfortunately, you are unable to top-up online via the O2 website, as it requires a UK debit/credit card that is linked to a UK residential address.

However, we advise that you visit an O2 store when recharging, as this will ensure that the recharge has been done correctly and you have received the most appropriate plan.

Alternatively, as another option if you are travelling for longer than 30 days, you can purchase additional sim cards based on the duration of your travels. If you are travelling for 56 days you can purchase 2 separate sim cards, and then swap them over at the end of each 30 day period.
