Hello and welcome to the O2 Community

Accessibility & Vulnerable Customers – How we can help

We believe that everyone should have access to the products and services they need to thrive in a digital world and that technology should be accessible to all. We want to help people in their homes, workplaces and communities have access to and enjoy the social, environmental and economic opportunities of connectivity.

We appreciate that our customers are different with diverse needs and some may need a little extra help from time to time due to their own personal situation, this may be a permanent requirement or just temporary if you’re going through a difficult time.

Our aim is to identify customers who may be vulnerable each time they interact with us and to ensure that they receive a consistent approach which takes into account their circumstances, meets their particular needs and delivers a great experience.

We offer a range of services to support you through these times, which include ↘️

Accessible mobile phones

At O2, we want to make sure that everyone can enjoy phones and technology. We understand that for older or disabled customers, finding the right mobile phone or understanding how to use it can be difficult.

We support the Global Accessibility Reporting Initiative (GARI). Take a look at GARI to find a device with the accessibility features that work best for you. Found one you like? See if we stock it in our online shop. If you want to find out more or need help choosing, get in touch.
