Hi, 

I have a o2 account that has a dead o2 pay as you go sim associated with it, I’m trying to order a new pay monthly sim but I’m unable to as it wants to send a text to a number no longer active, is there a way to get passed this? Spoken to o2 and they don’t seem to want to help as I don’t even know the old pay as you go number, only what the last 4 digits are! 
I’ve tried creating a new account with a different email address but it recognises me as having an existing account! 

any ideas? 

thanks

If you are resigned to having a different number, @a_ukboy - forget about the old PAYG (if it had no credit and you had no recurring top-up set on it) and order a new Pay Monthly SIMO from uSwitch, £8 monthly for 12-month contract (provided you pass the credit check), and use it in your existing handset: https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/sim-only-deal/a16e0a13cfa50ed960dd3be428b7f0fbea4a044c/?position=1&l...

 

Failing that, try O2 via Social Media if you need to resurrect your old MyO2 account - and be persistent. Either if these ways will do, pick one and stick with it, @a_ukboy: - and be persistent!

As you don't know the number best to sign up as a new customer.

If you want SIM only try going through the likes of USwitch. Much cheaper

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Hi, I am a Virgin media volt customer and to get this deal I had to have an o2 SIM card which I have never activated but I pay monthly for it.  I have been trying to log in to my o2 to check my bill but I can’t get past the security question because they want to send me a text to the sim that I never activated .  How can I log in please , is there another way ?  Thank you

@Nikpo 

This is a customer to customer community, not O2, so we cannot access your account, sorry.

You need to contact O2.

Message them on Social Media. Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (X)  (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) or give them a call on 202 or 0344 809 0202 (contract) 4445 or 0344 8090222 (PAYG)

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
