O2 rudest customer service

Anonymous
Not applicable
There is nothing ruder than being ignored.

I emailed customer service from this site 3 times since 7th December and although I received an acknowledgement number for each not a single reply even when i moaned about being ignored.

Do O2 ever reply or are they just picking on me?

By the way it was just a simple tariff query but now they have a very unhappy customer who is now going to throw in my simplicity tariff for pay-as-you-go with someone else. At least that way I can save the frustration of dealing with complacent and arrogant organisations.

I did not say it was a law, please read posts properly before making comments. I said o2 have an escalation process, and you have the right to speak to a manager.....see below this extract from the o2 help pages and believe!

I really think you are nit-picking here elom. A manager will speak to you if you insist and the next stage of escalation is to contact the complaints department either by email, letter or fax. What is your problem with this? Its in black & white on their website and put there so people know what route to follow should an adviser be unable to assist with their query.

I agree for a large company they are terrible and ridiculously disjointed. I was with both Vodafone and Orange before my contract with O2 and they had much better customer service.
The thing I really hate about O2 is that I cant just go to an O2 store to sort out broken phones and insurance claims like I could with Vodafone. Because I have an 'online' account I have to call them and deal over the phone.

You have an online account because it's cheaper for you an 02 to deal with you as a customer via the telephone and online.
If you want the advantage of going into a shop to sort out your problems / questions then go pay shop prices for the advantage.
Why should the people who pay shop prices subsidise you - taking up shop staff time - when you picked to pay (reduced rate) online?

More examples of something for nothing culture ...

He's not really is he ....

It says you can ask for the matter to be looked into which is fine - it does not say in black and white or any other colour you will speak to a manager right then.

It also says if after speaking to a manager after he's looked into the matter, which to me reads like once the matter has been looked into and they have contacted you at their convenience - if you're not happy then it goes further.
