Blocking calls to foreign numbers

markj_87

Hi guys,

today I finally made the leap from PAYG to a contract phone. I've read a few horror stories of people having phones stolen and being faced with £500 bills after the thief has made calls abroad and many members here advised blocking foreign calls.

How would I go about doing this? And are there any other tips people might recommened to avoid any unfortunate massive bills? The good thing about PAYG was that you could only lose your credit...bit nervous now that security's gone!

You have an international number block put on your acc. Just remember to have it taken off if you ever go overseas as it stops that working as well.

Put a password/number on the sim and the phone. So if the phone gets stolen and they take the sim out your phone it is locked and will give you that bit of extra time to report it.
