Hi,
I have renewed my contract and got a new Samsung A5 2017 phone. Noticed issues from the beginning but as I wasn't well I didn't contact o2 until 3 weeks after getting the phone. They have performed a soft reset and the phone started working but 2 weeks later it stopped working again. The online guru tried all options but we couldn't turn the phone on.
I need a reliable phone as I use it for work.
Has anyone had any luck with getting a new phone if they had issues?
Many thanks for any advice

After that it has to go for repair.
Samsung would be a bettoption for repairs though rather than o2.

Consumer Credit Act 2015
If product is faulty within 30 days you can request either
1. A brand new replacement.
2. A full refund
If after the 30 days and before 6 months then the seller has only one oppertunity to repair the product. If the product develops either the same or a futher fault then you can request a full refund.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for all your advice!
I spent over 2 hours last night with the online O2 gurus who tried to get my phone working. I must say they were all very polite but useless. At the end, I had to take my phone to the Samsung repair shop. The phone was fixed today but I lost all the data ;(
