The next day, I got only one 3G delivered and went to M&S to buy something. The cashier said my card is unable to access and locked.
Luckily I was with hubby and he pays but we both felt embarrassed especially me

I am thinking not to use card in Pinas and will just withdraw cash as I don't want to happen it again.
you should have told the guy you don't want to give personal details as you dont know where he is calling from,, so you will phone Barclays customer service, and explained to them, and they would have stopped or lifted any block off your card, refusing to answer the guy meant he had no choice but to block it. i'm not saying you should answer him, but you should have called customer service afterwards, and also tell them b4 you go to the phils, so they will not block it then,

asl have a extra card with you, and even better cash is still king !
