Guide Updates

GUIDE UPDATESRecent discussions HERE about locking guides a week or so after they were posted, resulted in an agreement to have a section where all of us could ask for a guide to be updated if we felt it necessary. So I'll start it off. The first gui...

Data

I am in USA and for some reason my data and calls don’t work

received phone I did not order

Hi. I have never ordered anything from O2. Just received a phone through DPD. I was on a call when they rang doorbell so didn't check name. Address is mine though. DPD website says contact who sent to arrange return. Only info in package is "we hope ...

Mast fault Par3

Since December 2022 I have been reporting and fault with service, sadly updates since have been to say we are working on it!! Have O2 no engineers? 4 months is ridiculous, what is it I am paying for?

No network coverage for over a month now

NO SIGNAL IN BT34 1PH

No 4G/3G and no phone signal in BT34 1PH or BT34 3FN general areas for last week or 2

Bolt-ons

I like O2, but I don't find the one-of payment bolts-on very good value. £5 for 500mb of data isn't much for a fiver, especially for a smartphone with lots of apps - that's not even 1GB. And £12 for 3GB is £2 more expensive than a Big Bundle. £5 for ...
