Giving up with O2

Hi,  

 

Here is my sad story....

 

I was with 3 and decided to move to O2  and keep my number.

 

Got the sim did all I had to do and waited for everything to settle down..

Eventually I could use my phone except for text so went on the app and was told to wait 48 hours.

 

48 hours later - no texts - so rang 202 and  was told to reset my network and wait 48 hours.

48 hours later I can send texts but still cant receive them - Ive now been several days without texts which means problems with authorising banking, ebay, paypal even googlemail wants to text me a code.

 

So back to 202 - problem is unresolvable they will send me a new sim.  This is on a Friday.  Two hours later my phone is cut off from the network, I spend a weekend waiting for my new sim with no phone at all.

 

Monday - Sim arrives - hooray - nope.  Same problem as before can send but not receive texts.

 

Ring 202 - wait 20 minutes on hold - phone is picked up and then disconnected.

Ring 202 - wait 10 minutes on hold - phone is picked up then disconnected.

Ring from a land line number - wait 10 minutes on hold - phone is picked up then disconnected.

 

Come up with the idea of completely resetting my phone.  Doesnt make any difference but now I cant reload any apps because I cant receive texts.  Dumb move on my part but I was desperate.

 

Tuesday - today - ring to cancel my contract as I have given up hope and it is now 10 days since I first placed my order with O2 and a week without a working phone.

 I am still waiting for someone to pickup - its 20 minutes +

 

Can you imagine the frustration, the expense, the problems and the inconvenience this has caused me.

Still waiting for that phone to be picked up.

 

Gary.

I'll ask a forum advisor to pick this up

@O2Sarah- Can you help @Gary16 

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

Hurrah - made it thru  and spoke to a very helpful person, Noor,  who has cancelled my contract.

Goodbye O2 and good luck to anybody else with this problem.
