Help when abroad

This happens to me regularly, and is extremely annoying.
I visit Japan regularly and whenever I do I get locked out of EE - the reasons aren't always the same, but the result is.
This time my login was rejected because "your account has been compromised". I have managed to sort that out after several attempts.

Getting help in these circumstances is near impossible.

I couldn't use this forum, because it uses the same login.

Text help (to 150) doesn't seem to work from here.

I can't call because the phone charges from here are eye-watering.

What are my alternatives to contact EE for help ? Is there an online chat service I could use ?

Thank you - do you think it will work with WhatsApp ?

@MartinGM , You can try, otherwise download Skype for free and use the free number @XRaySpeX has given you.

I also had to change my password before I could log-in the other day, you then get an email with a code you will need to enter to verify it is you.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using Skype or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.

Thanks.I did eventually manage to change my password - the first few attempts were rejected with no reason, just a very long error code.

@MartinGM , thank you for coming back and letting us know, glad you got it sorted, not sure why you got an error code. Enjoy Japan, never been there.
