Hi. Had a nightmare this week replacing my lost phone. Finally got new phone and replacement sim. Activated via Customer services yesterday morning. Still not activated 🙃 

I rang as its been over 24 hrs. They said 02 has a major technical issue and that why its still not connected 

Anyone else stuck in limbo or am I being fobed off???

@DawnR 

O2 will place bars on your account when you report a loss, so call back and make sure the bars have been lifted.

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.

Thanks, tried a few timed. It said there are no issues??? I just don't know why it's not on yet. They said wait another 24hrs!!! 2 days to activate a sim, should take 2 hrs. Frustrating

@DawnR I'm sure the Bank Holiday weekend isn't helping your situation. You can try reaching O2 via social media:
Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB), Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW), or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG)
Or you can call them on 0800 081 0255

If you have no phone to use you can download Skype to call free: Guide: A Guide to Skype

I'm not convinced.

Call back and check both bars have been lifted.
