useless customer service

I rely on the 02 site for sending out text messages online. For a day now my account has been stuck showing a thick red line with this in it:

'You have purchased messages that have not been activated yet. Please enter your validation code.'

where's the code? I've been waiting for a code which never comes, I've tried twice and every time I ring 02 I get some useless girlie that can't do anything about anything, except tell me I have to go online to the live chat, which neither of us can find anyhere....

what a useless and stupid support setup and I resent being fobbed off with a shrug of the shoulders. Does anyone know how I can get this resolved? I need the online text service badly.

after tearing my hair out for hours I finally got this sorted. This live chat link did the trick:

http://www.o2.co.uk/mobile/contactus#

it's outrageous that the staff on the customer services line at 02 are unaware of this link. One girl I spoke to even said she'd never heard on sending text messages from the 02 website. How can someone of such limited knowledge ever be able to help? What is a person like that doing in 02 customer services?

there is no live chat option that I could see in the 'new look contact us page' and I tried that online while talking to the 02 girl. There was no live chat option there.

if you're sure its there can you provide a link?

for goodness sake there is no live chat link anywhere under any of the three options or with any of the drop down subjects. There is no live chat link.

I've been through this multiple times and it doesn't matter what option I select there is no live chat link anywhere to be seen. And I never get any live chat invite no matter what I do.

I use google chrome, I normally never go near IE.

 

edit: I just tried IE9, still the same, no live chat and my online account is still jammed and useless.
