How to Call EE from Abroad (Without Roaming Charges)

Why Traditional Methods Don’t Work
Calling EE from abroad using your local SIM or hotel phone can cause problems:
- High roaming charges: Calls can cost $2–5 per minute or more (outside the EU)
- Blocked calls: Some carriers block international calls to UK customer service numbers
- Unreliable connections: Roaming calls may drop or have poor quality
- Keypad issues: Automated menus may not work properly from overseas
Tips for Calling EE
- Have your account info ready: EE may ask for your address, postcode, or account number
- Know your question: Write down what you need help with before calling
- Check UK time zones: EE is based in the UK, so check the time before you call
- Keep a record: Note down any reference numbers or names for follow-up
