Re: Poor Customer Services.

I have been trying to have a Pay as you go iphone unlocked so I can use a different carrier. I have made five telephone calls and poorly trained staff have continued to advise me incorrectly. I have added additional credit to my balance and each time I call the o2 advisors have advised me to Top up more in order that my request can be taken seriously. I have asked how much I should top up before my request will be initiated and each time the operator has stated simply top up more until you iphone is unlocked. I am wondering how many other customers are on this merry go round?

I agree o2 have a total disregard for customers. I hope in time the Ombudsman will fine them. They are so unhelpful and rude it just awful.

@Carol_Stott no need to keep topping up at all. How to unlock here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1...

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

That sort of advice is just not acceptable. Unlocking is free so no top up necessary as long as the phone has been used on the O2 network. I simply don't understand why 5 advisers have told you this?

Probably don’t know what they are talking about & want the customer to spend more money without them doing anything

I'm just guessing that the phone hadn't been used on the network and it needed topping up to activate it.
