International calls and texts

All calls and texts sent from the UK to another country are treated as an international call or text. This includes calls or texts to countries within our Europe Zone.

Normally, you’ll be charged at our standard international call rates. Pay As You Go customers could, however, pay less for calling or sending a text from the UK with our bundled international minutes and/or discounted international rates.

If you’re on one of the following Pay As You Go tariffs, you will already be benefitting from discounted international calls and texts. Sign into My O2 to check your tariff.

• O2 Unlimited

• Simply Pay As You Go

• International SIM

• £10, £15 or £20 UK & International Bundle

• £15, £20, £25 or £30 Big Bundle

• International Big Bundle

• Premium International Big Bundle

• £15, £20 or £30 Rolling plan

If you have a bundle tariff, you’ll only get access to discounted rates while you have an active bundle.

Get more information about our Pay As You Go Bolt Ons, Big Bundles and Rolling plans.

If you’re not on one of the above tariffs, you can add the International Monthly Bolt On. For £2 a month, get discounted UK calls and texts to international mobiles and landlines, from 1p a minute and 30p a text. Check out the discounted rates.

To get the International Monthly Bolt On for Pay As You Go, go to My O2 and browse the available Bolt Ons. Or text MONTHLYINT to 21300, or call 2202, both free from your O2 phone.
