Control your charges

There are different ways to control the cost of your roaming bill. Select the one that best fits your needs:
When you want to contact someone in Cyprus from abroad, it is usually cheaper to have them call you instead of calling them yourself.

Deactivate all Call Forwarding options through your mobile phone menu or by pressing ##21# and then "send". This will allow you to receive calls, but you will only be charged for those calls you answer and not for missed calls forwarded to your Voicebox.

In case you do not want to receive any calls whilst abroad, you can activate the "Always and Unconditionally" Call Forwarding service either towards your Voicemail or any other telephone number in Cyprus. All your calls will then be diverted to your Voicebox or to the telephone number you have chosen without any cost. To listen to your messages, you can call your Voicemail or the other telephone number and do so.

To forward your calls you can enter:
21 * 123 telephone number # OK to transfer your calls to your Voicebox, or
** 21 * telephone number # OK to transfer your calls to a fixed phone, or mobile phone

Check you phone’s settings and adjust them in such a way so that it will not automatically download your mms messages or e-mails so as to avoid any unexpected charges from foreign networks. If you wish you can adjust your settings so as to automatically download the titles of your e-mails and you can then read only the ones you want.

Lost/Stolen Phone
