You need to contact O2 as soon as you can to let them know your SIM has been lost before you can get a new one, @Machaela - numbers here, you may be able to call the 0800 number using Skype on a PC if you have no mobile you can use: Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 

Call around 08:15 UK time to get onto someone before the queue gets too long.

As you are outside the UK, it will be difficult to get a replacement sent - you may be better off popping into a local phone shop and getting a PAYG or prepaid SIM there, at least you will be able to call others, even if it is a different number you will get.

If you have access to WiFi, you could also try WhatsApp, but the person you are calling also needs WhatsApp on their phone.

Good luck!

Be aware that O2 will only deliver the sim to your registered address in the UK
