I've resorted to joining this forum in the hope that someone from o2 is able to help OR one of the members is able to advise me.
Apologies in advance for the long post but there's no shorter way to sum things up:
In mid-September my Sony Ericsson C905 broke; the speaker you hold to your ear failed so I could only hear calls on speaker phone, I therefore called customer services. They advised me that a new phone would be sent to me within 5 days, nothing arrived. Over a week later I called back to question where the new phone was and I was told that they were out of stock. However nobody had told me this until I asked, so I had been waiting.
They advised me to return the phone for a repair; so I went to the trouble of packing up the phone, going to the post office and paying for recorded delivery postage.
Two weeks passed before I received my ‘repaired’ phone, when I unpacked it I noticed there was a piece missing from the back (a trim piece that covers two screws)
I then called up customer services again to discuss the problem and lodge a formal complaint. No matter who I spoke to, I was told that not even a manager would be able to deal with me, the best I was offered was a choice of two second hand phones but could not guarantee if they would be in stock once I had decided (I wanted to look up some information about the phones before I picked one)
I was told to use the ‘contact us’ section of O2 to lodge a formal complaint and also told that a manager would call me back to discuss things. Again I received no such call and my written complaint was ignored.
During all this time I’ve had to resort to using my old and frankly dilapidated mobile. This does not have half the features of my C905 which I use frequently for work. Every time I’ve tried to call O2 to discuss the problem I am passed from pillar to post and eventually get nowhere.
Any help MUCH appreciated.
