adamtemp64 · ‎02-08-2016

I ordered a payg mobile broadband sim for the ttt dongle as my simonly sim ended last week On sunday online

Since monday had 5 numbers all calling saying they are o2 just come off the phone from c/s and they confirm the numbers calling me are not o2.I rang back the landline numbers and all claimed to be from o2 payg team. (now added to block list)

I will not publish the numbers on here but they are all from geographical numbers and not shortcode or regular 0300 0844 etc.

I will post further If I here back from o2.

Just be carefull guys a new wave of callers and o2 just confirmed my marketing is set to no calls etc.

iPhone 11 Pro 256gb on unlimited data
iPad Pro 12.9” 2020 256gb refresh o2 family discount

Why is that relevant?

I presume they already had Adams but he noticed an increase in calls when he placed a new order.....I purely made an observation.

Oh never mind ....let's forget it hey? ..

As you see I am back.....

It really was a genuine query. I haven't bought a phone from O2 for 4 years......yes I had a new simo contract in January and if honest I didn't get any spam calls....but if you remember since then they reset My O2 when we discovered our marketing preferences were changed. I just thought if I bought one of those phones for my lad...whether I would open the floodgates as it were...?

If your marketing preferences are off, that should mean off, but as you say, O2 appear to have a complete disregard for that anyway......

Mmmmm...See I was interested in an iPhone 6 (Yes I know... please don't think me mad ) It is for my iFanboy son. It looks a good deal....but not wanting to risk spam calls. Not a big deal to some but I have to answer every call.....don't want more than I get now thanks...
