Hi All
I need to point out the importance of reporting faults to customer services rather than on here, since this isn't monitored by O2 officially (though we shall see in the future) as it's more for customers to talk to other customers.
If you encounter any of the top 3 network problems as indicated, you should report them ASAP.
(1) 1 way speech This is where you can hear the other person or they can here you but neither can talk to each other.
(2) Bad speech quality This is where the speech quality is degraded to a standard where its no longer clear, it can be squelchy or dalek like (metallic sounding).
(3) Loss of signal in a good area As indicated above, where you normally have a good signal but now have none.
These are the main issues we have that customers suffer from, these are also the hardest issues to trace, and the sooner O2 know about them, the quicker they can fix them.
When you report this to O2, you should have as much information as possible to give to the Customer services representative, this includes:-
2 or 3G (or both)
Handset type
Postcode (if you have it, if not a general area your in)
if you know of other O2 customers that suffer a similar problem/issue (including their numbers)
Time/date
Indoors/Outdoors Customer services will run through a few things with you first (reset handset etc), they will raise a case and search for any more cases that have been reported, these cases will then help the engineers track down the issues you suffer and decrease the inconvenience you suffer
Hope this helps you all
