What an absolut $*"t show!!
Been with these clowns for around 25 years and remember them when they used to be a decent company. Out of contract and was keen to move but saw a deal which seemed too good to be true so agreed to sign up for another 2 years. Requested I keep my old number as it is for work, has been for 30 years. Have done this before a number of times without a hitch as it's surely the simplest situation, same company new contract. Today the phone arrives with a new sim and I am notified I am now the proud owner of 2 accounts and 2 telephone numbers. O2 have admitted they have messed up but not a problem you might think. Just assign my old number to my new account.... Simples. Oh No. I have to use the new number for 24 hours and then they can swap it over which may take 24 hours so basically 2 days where nobody can contact me. Can't happen I say. Just close the new account then and open another one the correct way if you have to. Yes we can do that but you need to return the new opened phone, opened watch and opened buds and start again (by which I miss the deal and they get a load of second hand devices???). I'd imagine given the quality of the staff they employ now this is not the first time this has happened so you might think someone with an IQ in double figures may have come up with a simple solution. The fact trying to resolve anything involves speaking to overseas call centres with bad English and children screaming in the back doesn't help so back to the drawing board to look for a company that's competent. Anyone know of any reputable networks?
