Re: Making calls from Philippines
It's a 'rest of world' location so is very expensive.
£2,160 per Gig of data (yes 2 thousand pounds)
£2.16 per minute to make calls
£1.80 per minute to receive calls
You may have already hit your spend cap.

Re: Making calls from Philippines
It's not clear what your issue is.
If you have hit your spend cap then you cannot continue until you increase/remove it.

Re: Making calls from Philippines
Be aware that removing the spending cap would be extremely unwise as you'd then be liable for a potentially unlimited bill. In particular do not do so while having cellular data switched on.

Re: Making calls from Philippines
Thank you all for your help ....... I am stuck in a hospital in Manila and don't need data but I do need to make some urgent calls to the UK.
I appreciate the callls are not cheap but the few I need to make are quite urgent.
At the moment I can't make or receive any calls which means I can't even sort this issue out with SKY.
