Samsung phone overheated and burned my hand

Anonymous
Not applicable

The phone was not being charged when I picked it up.

I'm on a 24 month contract with o2 so I called into the local o2 shop and explained what happened and that I'm presently on a course of chemotherapy and need my phone to pick up emails.

Was told (repeatedly) that the fault was Samsung's not o2 and I may be charged for repairs

I was embarrassed for the girl when she handed me the 1990s courtesy phone without Internet and the screen is so tiny I cannot read it.

I've been told it will take 10 working days until I get my phone returned and I don't see why I'm paying for an Internet service that I'm not receiving.

I've been with o2 nearly 20 years and I am disgusted at how this was handled. I don't think I will renew the contract.

And yes the blister on my thumb is still very painful!

Same thing happened to my wife's s6 edge at Xmas. O2 had it sorted and returned within a week. Albeit it was a replacement and not a repair.

Was the replacement an remanufactured handset @Curr946?

Sounds like it then. I've never had a problem with re-manufactured tech. Had a few mobiles and game consoles and they have all been good as new!
