for 3 years o2 have been great!, but I am getting passed around via online chat services and calling the helpline. Please let me go from my contract, you are not suppling me with the reception I am paying for. O2 do not understand the fact that I have to leave my house and walk up the road for signal, before it is was fine but the last 6 weeks have been poor, I relie on my phone for buissness and nobody can contact me from my home office anymore.
below is a conversation showing there ignorance to what I am saying
Please o2 for the love of god let me go!,
Welcome to O2. Someone will be with you soon.
You're through to Vicki.
Vicki: Hi I'm Vicki. How can I help?
daniel gower: I have not had signal for 6 weeks, I have just started a business, its highly unprofessional , for 2 years I have had great service
daniel gower: all of a sudden no more signal, I have to walk 3 mins down the road to get service
Vicki: I'm sorry to know that.
Vicki: Let me check this for you.
daniel gower: I lost out on a £1,000 pound job, its become a serious issue
Vicki: Please can you tell me the 3rd and 4th character of the answer to your security question?
daniel gower: i understand these things happen
daniel gower: U AND N
Vicki: Thanks.
Vicki: Please help me with your post code?
daniel gower: e9 ***
Vicki: Thanks.
Vicki: Please let me check if there is any network issue.
daniel gower: I am having to use my friends phone,o2 have been great but i really need a reliable service
daniel gower: yes there has been a mast down in stratford for 6 weeks
daniel gower: I can not wait any longer
Vicki: let me check please.
Vicki: As I see there is no network issue now in your area.
Vicki: Please switch off your phone, remove the sim, wipe it with a dry cloth and restart again.
daniel gower: i need you to release me from my contract, I feel its very unfair to tie me down to a service that is not working, on the weekend i travelled to zurich, before hand my colleague was trying to inform me that plans had changed it completely mesed up my weekend
daniel gower: I have many times
daniel gower: I have spoke to 3 different o2 staff now, they have been helpful to a degree
daniel gower: but at the end of the day the mast will not be fixed until the 5th of september
daniel gower: I can not wait any longer
Vicki: I'll help you with them link.
Vicki: Please click here
daniel gower: that does not help me
daniel gower: sorry to sound bad tempered
Vicki: Please remove the sim and insert it again and check if it works.
Vicki: I understand your frustration. Its okay.
daniel gower: I have today when i spoke to your colleague
daniel gower: The mast is down therefore there is no signal
Vicki: Do you have any other O2 phone?
daniel gower: my hiusemate does but he is in zurich, he was having trouble before he left
daniel gower: housemate*
daniel gower: no mast = no reception, no reception= no phone.
daniel gower: no phone= loss of buisness unfortunately
Vicki: Please insert the sim in any other O2 phone and check if the network shows.
daniel gower: I am having to use my friends vodafone
daniel gower: I do not another phone
daniel gower: i am not lying when i say the mast is down
Vicki: The O2 sim will not work in that phone.
Vicki: I understand that but now I've checked the network coverage and it says network is good.
daniel gower: imagine if you had to leave your office and walk down the road to talk to me? its not practical
daniel gower: and in 2 second it will disapear
Vicki: Its really awefull.
daniel gower: I have been told by 3 of your colleagues a mast is down!
daniel gower: on the phone
Vicki: It may be on that time but now the network is full.
Vicki: are other people in your area facing the problem?
daniel gower: I have had perfect signal for 2 years, now im lucky to get 1bar of signal
daniel gower: yes like i said my housemate, but he has been in zurich for a month
daniel gower: it happened during th Olympic games, i live right next to the site
Vicki: Oh that why you were facing the problem.
daniel gower: your colleagues on the phone has told me people are experiencing problems
Vicki: Please remove the sim and check if there is any scratch on the sim?
daniel gower: can you get me in contact with someone
daniel gower: before i get very frustrtated
Vicki: I'll transfer your chat to my Supervisor.
Vicki: Please be online.

daniel gower: ####
daniel gower: well please get somebody to call me I am sick to death of calling o2
Quentin: I'm sorry but we do not do a call back
daniel gower: are you serious a communication company that cannot call there customers?
daniel gower: I can assure you this conversation is going to shared amongst thousands just to show how pathetic this service is
Quentin: I'm sorry but there is nothing that we can do.
Quentin: You have to call the toll free number 202.
daniel gower: can you explain why is there is nothing you can do?

As you have found, for these type of issues, chat is hopeless. You do need to speak to customer service to get this resolved or you could go down the complaints route.

Yes, thank you guys, I have phoned on three occasions over the last month, they do not really care. And of course there are going to be mast issues, but its been down 6 weeks, its going to be repaired on the 5th. Its a shame o2 have been brilliant until the last month but I need people to be able to contact me, **bleep** office/home job!

ring o2 and ask if you get a payg on another network as this has been going on for 6 weeks will they forward your number at no cost to you to the other network(it may come out of you mins allowans so no real cost).
If they do not you could still do the same and at least keep the business going.
As Jonsie go down the complaints route

I really hope you get the Mast sorted and your signal back.
But is this not a merry go round yet again. What is the point with o2 online chat?
Ive had same issues my self, with the online chat.
Are they also really based in the Uk?
Toll free 202. Ive never ever heard any one say that in UK. USA and India, but never UK

I think it's generally accepted that the chat line is routed overseas. Some of the replies you get seem to be a product of google translate in badly phrased English.
