Upgrade nightmare - totally fed up

Anonymous
Not applicable

Just want to share this......I upgraded to an Iphone 6 plus and paid £9 to have it delivered before 10.30 on Saturday.

 

At 10.05am I chcked the UKMail website which said it was delivered at 10:03 which a bit strange as nobody had knocked at the door and there was no card. I rang UKMail who told me had had been delivered five doors up the road. I went to my neighbours who told me they hadn't got it.

 

I rang O2 who contacted UKMail. Apparently the package had been signed for by 'Stan Lee'. Needless to say I was not impressed and asked for a refund of the delivery charge and for a replacement to be delivered

 

I went out for an hour or so and came back to find the package pushed through the letter box. I rang O2 (again) to tell them it had been delivered and to stop the replacement phone and any request to block the phone

 

After swapping the SIM online I waited for the phone to register on the O2 network which hasn't happened. Three web chats and one phone call later I've been told:

a) it takes 24 hours for a SIM swap to go thorugh

b) take the SIM out put it back in again

c) switch off for 20 minutes and switch it back on

d) a block has been put on the phone by the fraud/insurance department and even though I was given a reference number there is no trace of a block (although going to Setting >> General >> About >> Network says 'Phone Not Allowed' which is a bit of a clue to me...but I'm no expert.....)

e) Either the phone or SIM card is faulty and I need to go to my local O2 shop to get it sorted....

 

What a nightmare.....does anyone know what they're doing????????

Hi @Anonymous

I think you need to go instore to get this sorted. It has been a total disaster from the start with the phone not being delivered on time  despite you paying extra. Obviously then there was a mix up when you called and O2 blocked the missing phone.... which later turned up. As you say you are paying for phone which has been barred.

I honestly think you need to go instore and let them see for themselves that this new phone isnt working. They can get the bar lifted hopefully....

Of course your other option is to cancel the contract if you are within the 14 day cooling off period and take out another one. What a mess...:smileysad:

Do not let them open a new contract for you until they dont close and cancel this one. Ive been advised to cancel the order (phone didnt arrive)  and and open a new contract. Big mistake.. I am paying for two airtime bill and the device plan. I have to tell that the phone i ordered on the 27th of July is still didnt arrive. not to my and not even back to o2..
