sprite, let me first apologise, this obviously shouldn't have happened. It's great to see you've posted the example on the forum, as it's currently extremely relevant. Let me share why:

Two of my colleagues are with our webchat teams for the next couple of weeks to introduce a new way of working.  They're training them on a system where we'd like agents to "own" the problem and solve the issue right there and then. Working through such a system means that these kinds of things shouldn't be happening any more, so this a prime example of what we're trying to resolve.

I've forwarded this thread to our trainers so they have a timely and relevant example which they can use in their training sessions. So, thanks again for sharing, it will definitely help improve our webchat service.

Cheers,
Leonard

Hi thanks for that wish I knew before I tried calling but have to be honest it didn't go any better. they guy on the phone said that O2 would reward my loyalty but not yet and they still couldn't offer the same deal. To top it off he even said that the staff go elsewhere for their phones. Looks like O2 don't have loyalty worth while with their staff let alone the customers. Looks like I will be cancelling and going with carphone warehouse. Shame since I've only been with O2 in my life I had a brief patch with Orange but ended it ASAP.

You can get the deal/contract from CPW and still be with O2. CPW are just agents....

It's not good is it.

Ive asked the moderators if they could feed this back to whatever department that deals with this service.

I'm getting tired and kind of embarrassed at telling members a service such as Live Chat is useless and circumvent it.

Bad times !!

It is a shame because in my experience o2 customer service on the phone has been the best of the networks then they get let down by this stupid service (term used loosely)
