Solved: Why are O2's systems so slow?

fonealan · ‎30-10-2015

A few days ago I registered for the extra 1GB promotion on International PAYG. It took 6 hours to receive a confirmation text.

Yesterday I topped up and got my usual allowances straight way. I'm still waiting for a confirmation text that I have the extra 1GB allownace. Sending 'Balance' to 20202 or calling 4444 does not mention the 1GB.

How long do I have to wait?

Why do O2's systems take so long to do this?

Best to call 4445 for confirmation, we can't access your account to check here.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

O2's systems update at midnight or possibly on your anniversary date. Speak to customer service and they can update it straight away. Speak, not live chat.
