Having a nightmare trying to upgrade

Anonymous
Not applicable
to explain, i am at the end of my contract and would like to upgrade, i quite like the new iphone model (not very original i admit but its good why shouldn't i) and would like to get one.

you would think my complaint would now be that they are hard to find.

well they are not most apple stores have loads which is where i went today they are great and very helpful and you can upgrade there, also o2 have them when you phone.

except for me that is as o2 have kindly put me on what they describe as the old billing system which means the only option open to me is the o2 stores and frankly they never have them and when they do there mates get them first so they never hit the stores anyway. i cant even use the website system as my number isn't recognised.

phoning o2 results in a hour long call being passed on from person to person trying to find someone who can access my account because guess o2 have decided that not all of there CS can access it what and after today's ridicules situation in the apple store i am really upset about the way i have been treated as a customer since 93 it really makes me consider leaving the person in customer services i spoke to in the apple store even made it sound as though it was my own fault and the apple store man couldn't believe the stupidity of the situation its really out of order that i have to suffer for frankly the laziness of a company

only been trying this for one day now, but will be speaking to (or at least trying) a supervisor in the morning once they open. and complaint letter sent, also considering reporting this to otelo as its no way to treat customers


How is a customer supposed to get to terms with all this?
Try and speak to someone in an elevated position who really should be able to sort this mess out for you.
Failing that I think you should write in to the Complaints Department, as you seem to be considered as an O2 customer who does not exist. 😐
What nonsense!
Please post your problem here:

It might get looked at. :robotsad:

i agree CS has always been very helpful, and i have no issue or complaint with the very efficient job they do. the issue i have is with the system which is a joke to be honest

Exactly, I was just making a précis of all that.
I wish you luck with getting a positive response and a solution to this rather silly problem, which is not of your making.
Personally I have had good experiences with O2, and have found CS to be polite and helpful, but I do not feel a customer should be dropped into a "Catch 22" situation they cannot escape from by following normal procedures.
You are showing a lot more patience than many would in this situation.
Good luck.

I don't get it, such a highly rated company, but they can't seem to get the details right.

right I dont see wht they dont just move you over! I was on the 'old'(buisness) billing system, I found this out when I applied for a o2 money card and it wouldnt let me do this, so I phoned cust services and, the lady I spoke to recognised stright away the problem and she filled a form to request the migration, she said they is no timescale for the move, all in all I was on the phone for 10 mins, and I got moved over to the new billing system in about 7 days.

and for the store selling to there frien/family, you sure, the stores have been told to operate a first come first served on the new IPhone, And if you want the 16gb these are in very short suply, and only come through in dribs and drabs about 3/4 a week, and I believe none were sent out this week

i'm sure the stores do operate on a first come first served, i am just indicating what it feels like as a customer. i have been told by a few stores the standard next Thursday (but from what friends tell me that is the standard response) and this never seems to materialize

the simple fact that the apple stores have healthy stock and o2 wont let me use them is out of order even here in Brighton the apple store is above an o2 store and o2 will get them next 'Thursday' you must understand that as a customer i feel hard done by here as this is not of my doing.

as for the migration at no point has it been suggested to me that i will be migrated, and to be told that it will take a week is out of order.

on this subject o2 are seriously guilty of letting down there customers its a joke

I'm just looking into a solution for you, I will post back later when I've checked it out for you.

Just to let you know though, a migration takes a max of 48 hours, not a week and you only lose service for a small amount of this time.
