I am currently living abroad but still retaining my o2 number as im tied into a contract (grrr) is there any way to divert calls and texts from my irish number to an international number so i dont have to constantly carry 2 phones with me?
In theory yes you can do this. In fact I was only asked this last week by a former colleague.
In practice the cost of doing it can become expensive as every call diverted is a call received and made from your phone while roaming. Add on to that the price of a missed call, if you miss a call it will end up costing you even though you have not picked it up.
can you tell me how you do this. I am trying to divert my calls to an internation number but when I do it with the **21* code it says failed. When I do it on my iphone 5 it askes me for the number but it wont let me save it. Is there something that needs to be activated on my account to let me do this. The number I am diverting to is a +971 number.
Hi Kaskade, sorry about this. It isn't actually possible to divert calls to international numbers. You can divert to domestic mobile and landline only I'm afraid. I've confirmed this with our tech team.
