I've been with 02 for many years. I was overdue update grade on my account and came to the O2 shop to discuss on Saturday 2nd Feb. The sales assistant made an error in his quote to me Id asked for an iphone 4S 32GB but he quoted a deal that was only applicable to 4S 16GB making the deal sound more competitive than it was. I already have 32GB with my existing iphone and was not prepared to go lower than this. I was told the only way around this was to cancel the contract as he had already activated it and the phone. This meant that I had to wait till the next day to allow the system to upload the contract before it could be cancelled... I did this and was told that this would take effect within 24 hours and that I should then contact O2 by phone or online to explore the best deals as the phone I wanted wasn't in stock anyway.
I've checked online and the system every day since and it says I'm not now due an upgrade until Jan 2015 even though that contract was supposedly cancelled. I tried to call and the call was aborted by the system for the same reason. I then called back using a different option and was kept on hold for over 20 minutes with no reply. I hung up and tried an "instant" online web chat instead and after two messages thanking me for waiting I gave up on that too.
I just want to talk to someone who can sort this mess out. I was due an upgrade in Aug 2012. I can't believe it's been this painful to organise.
