- When will my international call charges be added to my bill?
O2 will try to include your overseas call charges on your next available bill to allow you to keep track of your cost. However, sometimes O2 receive the details of calls made from another network late and this may cause issues with timely billing. This very rarely happens but is more common from those countries which have smaller networks.
