Malicious calls

Anonymous
Not applicable

Last night - at midnight I repeatedly received nuisance calls from an O2 customer. I reported this to O2 and was told that they would take no action - I should phone the police or change my phone number.

I am surprised that a company like O2 is happy for its customers to behave in this way and make no attempt to caution them - still I suppose as long as they are getting some money from a customer, they don't mind what they do.

As far as O2 (or any other network would be concerned) is that it's just your word against theirs. The advice to contact the Police or change your number is sound valid advice, if you have a genuine complaint.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Sound advice. O2 can't just barr a number because someone reports malicious calls. Think about it logically and people could report dozens of numbers and innocent subscribers would find themselves blacklisted. The police should be handling your complaint so please contact them.

There is no guarantee this is an O2 number, it could be any network.
