Appalling customer service

it took almost an hour to get them to agree to send me a replacement SIM card. The automated answering Service asks if I want to replace my SIM - then they send a code to my lost SIM! One week has elapsed and I’m still waiting for the SIM card to arrive. Another hour wasted talking to customer service - they claim that it was lost by Royal Mail! So now they have (agreed to) send me another one. With no apology and no compensation.

Hi Shravan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We can understand how frustrating it must have been to try and replace a lost SIM card, only to encounter difficulties with the automated process and then spend a significant amount of time contacting customer services.

We're also disappointed to hear that, after being advised a replacement SIM had been sent, you then had to contact us again when it failed to arrive. We appreciate how inconvenient this must have been, particularly when you're waiting to restore service to your account.

We understand your frustration at the time spent trying to resolve the issue and are sorry that your experience has left you feeling disappointed.

Willing but Incompetent

Willing but incompetent. As a Volt customer my "double data" should have been arranged automatically, at the time I changed both my broadband to Virgin and my mobile provider to O2. It didn't and as a consequence I ran out of data whilst navigating my way to an unfamiliar Cheshire address. Long story short, it's taken 7 calls so far to their call centre and the issue is still not addressed. In fact, over the course of those calls and 3 weeks my account has been moved to a more expensive data package and my Volt benefits that should double my data have still not been added. Insult to injury is that I have to call them back after a month has expired since their system can't change my package more than once in a month. The Indian call centre go through motions of being polite, using buzz words like "going forward" etc are polite but clearly incompetent at addressing issues. There is no way to escalate a complaint or speak to someone in this country. I wish I'd never moved from EE and can't wait for my contract to end.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We can understand how frustrating it must have been to switch both your broadband and mobile services with the expectation that your Volt benefits would be applied automatically, only to find that this didn't happen and led to issues with your data allowance.

We're particularly disappointed to hear that, despite multiple contacts over several weeks, the issue remains unresolved and that changes made to your account have not delivered the outcome you were expecting. We appreciate how frustrating it can be to repeatedly contact customer services and still feel no closer to a resolution.

We value your feedback and are sorry to hear that this experience has affected your confidence in O2.

As we're unable to access account-specific details through Trustpilot, we'd encourage you to contact us directly if you'd like your concerns reviewed further:
