No eSIM possible on PAYG
I went into the store to ask that if I bought a new phone could I have an eSIM on PAYG. I was assured it was possible. The next day I went back and purchased the phone and they couldn't set up an eSIM in store, I was told to wait 3 days to receive a Qcode by post. I waited 8 days and no code arrived so back to the shop. Again in the shop they told me that it was not possible to have an eSIM on PAYG, I phoned customer service to be told that they not longer put an eSIMs in PAYG phones. I purchased a dual SIM phone on their recommendation which has only one physical SIM slot and now cannot fit my other overseas SIM card in the new phone. All the O2 websites say that it is possible to have an eSIM on PAYG. Customer service just apologises and says that's an error so BEWARE if you need an eSIM on PAYG go to another provider.

Hi there,
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 make your purchase based on information you were given in store, only to later receive conflicting advice regarding eSIM availability on Pay As You Go.
We're particularly disappointed to hear that, after being advised an eSIM could be provided, you experienced delays waiting for a QR code and were subsequently told that an eSIM was not available for your circumstances. We appreciate how frustrating this must have been, especially as it influenced your decision to purchase a device that you intended to use with both a UK and overseas SIM.
For more information about eSIMs, including compatible devices, setup guidance, and frequently asked questions, please visit:

I have had a very disappointing experience with O2 Pay As You Go.
My rolling plan failed to activate, even though I followed every instruction I was given. I contacted Technical Support several times, but they told me they do not have full access to Pay As You Go accounts. I was then advised to top up my account and try to purchase a rolling plan, but the system would not allow me to buy one. Instead, I was charged £2 per day without receiving an active plan or inclusive allowances.
Technical Support then advised me to visit an O2 store. I did, but the store staff explained they could not help because they also do not have access to Pay As You Go accounts.
I raised a formal complaint, but more than 10 days later my issue still had not been resolved. I was contacted again and asked to repeat basic troubleshooting questions before being told my case would be escalated to another team with a callback promised within 7 days.
The most frustrating part has been being passed between different departments, with no one appearing to have the access needed to fix the problem. I hope O2 improves its support for Pay As You Go customers so issues like this can be resolved more efficiently.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We can understand how frustrating it must have been to follow the advice provided, top up your account, and still be unable to activate your Rolling Plan.
We're particularly disappointed to hear that you were passed between multiple teams and channels without a resolution, despite contacting Technical Support, visiting a store, and raising a formal complaint. We appreciate how frustrating it must be to repeatedly explain the issue and still feel no closer to getting it resolved.
We understand your concerns regarding the delays and the lack of ownership you've experienced, and we're sorry to hear that this has left you feeling let down by the support available for Pay As You Go customers.

We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with your connection while travelling in both Croatia and Corfu. We understand how frustrating it can be when you're expecting to stay connected abroad and find yourself only receiving an E connection, especially when others travelling with you on different networks aren't experiencing the same problem.
Roaming performance can be affected by a range of factors, including local network availability, device settings, and the partner networks available in the area. If you're continuing to experience issues while abroad, you can find help and troubleshooting advice here:
