Indeed, there was another recent one when they said it was coming soon when customers had already got it - Not all that joined up sometimes 😞

Dial *#1234# and check. The baseband might be showing as NB8 but the PDA should be NB9.

You're not O2 branded - That is correct for BTU CSC.

Interesting. How are you validating "O2 branded" then? I would have said mine was but you're suggesting it isn't.

O2 branded phones carry an "O2U" CSC, yours is "BTU".

So what does that actually mean to have "BTU" and not o2? Will i not get updates from O2?

BTU is Samsung's Country Variant code, ie not network specific.
Updates for this code will come from Samsung directly.
