Hi

They will still be busy with the iPhone launch and possibly the Note 4 launch.

Possibly Live Chat online may be able to assist http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

Or if it's a complaint http://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain/complain

Is their anything we can help with here ?

After my first fortnight of stress after coming back to O2 and wasting over 10 hours on phone calls, online chats and incompetence in store, I wrote a long letter detailing all the issues I'd had. I emailed it through to them via the site and was all set to send it to every O2 postal office address I could find but it actually got resolved (to an extent) via the email. They took out an extra £160 in error even after all this was supposedly sorted out and then had to refund me. Good luck!

Same every year with the iPhone launch, but they never learn and put extra staff on.
Your only chance is to keep trying or wait a few weeks until all the iPhones are delivered.

And absolutely outrageous that every other customer who doesn't want an iPhone has to get to the back of a very long queue....

In fairness I will amend that, lots of iPhone customers are left in limbo as well...Smiley Mad

You'd think they'd add a few extra staff to cover known busy periods - It would make sense......?

Hiring extra agency staff would cut the massive profits of the iphone launch....

It's not always easy to predict the volumes of the calls into CS, but it's something that's constantly under review. You can contact O2 in many ways - the quickest being through Webchat or Social Media who can often point you in the right direction and assist you if you don't want to wait in the queue! I hope this helps.
