Unlikely I'm afraid..... 😞
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.

Apparently not enough people were using the service to justify it's existence. Wonder what the costs were to maintain the service...or have they just made the little man in his Slough office redundant?

Since it was (mostly) a free service, and Telefonica has a lot of debt, it made sense to shut it down.

 

Conversely, if it was a very popular service then it would be costing O2 a lot of money to run, so I think either way it would have been axed.

Agreed Oliver.

Here's a new conspiracy theory for you then!

 

"O2 are to close down and sell off the business to AT&T, continuing with GiffGaff on a much lower costs basis (as no customer support is needed), especially as GG now sell phones and have started selling contracts!"

 

You read it here first! Smiley LOL
