Ditch Guru's & Live Chat

Anonymous
Not applicable

Seriously,

 

You could save yourself a lot of money!

 

I have never had anything regarded as help from either, I end up informing either the "Guru" or "Live Chat" of the situation that it is within O2.

 

How many people have had to explain the situation to a "help"?

 

I'm not under the illusion that they should know everything, but surely when I get through to TuGo helpdesk I should not have to inform them time after time in the same conversation that it is currently disabled for the Xperia S and despite how many times they check and try and tell me it is, IT ISN'T!

 

There are many many cases of this in just my expierience but I have to share the best one yet when asking about a bug in the MyO2 app was informed that i wasn't on the latest software for my Xperia S and should update it to ios6!!!

 

I rest my case.

 

Any other expieriences shared below much appreciated!

 

O2? Your call! (Yes, I'm aware this is a customer forum!)

Lol! clicked on the wrong button!!!!

NOT SOLVED!! and probably never will be! 😉

It's not as though a quick google search cannot come up with a better answer though is it!

I know and accept not all people are Android/ios savvy and will and quite rightly do ask questions that are quite simple to answer, But they even get this wrong!

Google is their friend! If only they'd use it!!

In the three times I've used live chat, once to change my tariff this time last year and twice to deal with the sim to micro-sim swapover at Christmas, they've been excellent and dealt with it quickly.

 

No, I don't work for o2 although I'm one of the regulars here , it is my experiences so not everybody has a bad time with Live Chat slight_smile

As you say, you are a regular in the forum, and you know what you're doing when it comes to navigating your way around any difficulties you might have with O2 much of the time. Many people that come here aren't as knowing, so when they are searching the O2 site and chat pops up, they would most likely think that the person chatting to them would know about any queries they might have. After all, they work for O2 and are asking if they need help to questions they may have. Judging by many of the posts in the forum relating to chat, this isn't the case, and people are being given incorrect information. Case in point, this thread started just today:

http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Apple-iOS-Devices-iPhone-iPad/Iphone-5-and-4G-LTE-really-confused/td-p/...

99% of the time, people don't post in forums to give positive feedback, and some Gurus and chat people may very well be doing a good job, but O2 needs to address the issue of some people working in chat giving out blatantly wrong information. It can wind up costing people money, and doesn't do O2's credibility any good.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

Unfortunately we can't tar the entire service with the same brush. Some of them are great and actually really helpful.

It however does appear to be the majority that either don't care enough to do it right or they have not received adaquet training or the language barrier is too high. None of the three possibilities would surprise me.

I can see why O2 outsource its much cheaper however just because you outsource does not mean that you can drop the standards expected. It's not a good enough excuse.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told wink

Vicky:I've checked your phone is compatible with an TuGo app.
Vicky:Let me check the account.
Vicky:Can you tell me your full name? I’ll also need the 3rd and 5th characters of the answer to your security question.
Kev:*,*. the app has been disabled for Xperia S users until the bug is fixed
Kev:Kev ********
Vicky:Is that the error you're getting?
Kev:Yes, It is being looked into for weeks now and was wondering if you knew when this update might be pushed out
Vicky:Well as per our update is that you should be able to download the TUGO app on your phone now.
Vicky:Have your tried it now?
Kev:5 Minutes ago and it still said the same?
Vicky:Oh I see.
Kev:still not available
Kev:App Version 1.0.3
Vicky:Well I would request you to do this after 2-3 days & check if that works.
Kev:Ok, Thanks
Vicky:If still doesn't work then please visit the nearest shop & get the phone manually checked.

Amrin:Hi Kev.
Amrin:I see that you have been transferred to pay monthly.
Amrin:Let me read your query.
Kev:I've already been transferred from here!
Amrin:Yes that's correct. I'm reading the query and just want to see why you have been transferred. If possible, I can help you with your query.
Amrin:Hold on for few minutes.
Kev:Cheers
Amrin:Cheers.
Amrin:Thanks for waiting.
Amrin:Do you want to know about the TU Go app?
Kev:Yes, As it is currently disabled for Xperia S users due to bugs that are being ironed out I was wondering if you had any idea as to when this update might be available so I can use the app
Amrin:I need to speak to our Guru team and confirm the details.
Kev:Ok
Amrin:Thanks for waiting.
Kev:No worries
Amrin:We have this app available for your phone.
Amrin:Use this link and can get the app on the phone:
Kev:Ok thanks
Amrin:You can check that now and let me know if it is useful.
Amrin:You're welcome.
Kev:Still say not compatible with my device (LT26i)
Amrin:Go to play store and check if you find this app on your phone?
Kev:It shows but it's not available as O2 have stopped Xperia S users from installing it until they fix the bugs in the current version. All I have been trying to find out is when this might be fixed
Amrin:Okay fine, let me recheck with them.
Kev:thanks, I was chatting to Guru, they then put me through to Repairs who then sent me to you!
Amrin:You're welcome.
Amrin:I've checked with our team and our technical team is working on this and it'll be fixed asap. We don't have a timescale but once it is fixed Kev, you'll get a text confirmation and you can use that link to download our TU GO app.
Amrin::)
Kev:Lovely, Thanks for helping!
Amrin:I can see the previous chat, I know you have been transferred incorrectly.
Amrin:Sorry about that 😞
Kev:;-/ lol
