I'm very dissatisfied, I never ordered a sim nor did I want to have to go to the 02 shop new years eve get a replacement sim which still isn't working I left my daughter for a trip to London had no internet as the sim mess up messed my new year up.
3 hours spent finding where I had to go as I had no Sat nav and rely on my phone. Couldn't speak to my family contact my poorly daughter and spent hours in the cold lost.
Absolutely disgusted with the service as soon as my contract is up if not before I will be cancelling.
Protocol should be in place so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
Regards Daniel

At the risk of getting involved in a thread that has gone full circle, it would be helpful if you stepped back and thought about what people are saying on here trying to help you at this difficult time.
I have read all 10 pages of it and one thing is clear. You didn't order a sim. But all other questions from those on here trying to help were largely not answered so we were unable to assist.
Have I got the thread right in this SPECIFIC order:
1. Your mobile stopped working
2. You received an email thanking you for your order (for a sim card).
3. You went into an o2 store as you had no network coverage.
4. O2 store replaced your sim
5. Still no network.
If I may say so @Anonymous I thought your summary was an excellent piece of work trying to make sense of a very confused situation. If all attempts at offering help were as meticuluous, logical and measured as this, and without any of the usual histrionics, then this would be a first class community. Well done, sir! It is an absolute shame that we face the prospect of your departure in a few months time.

Why can't she just try one thing at a time and tell us if it works or not.
At least we know that she DID NOT ORDER A SIM!!!
All of which I understand b but we can help ourselves to. At the beginning of the thread "she" introduced "herself" as Daniel so I think it shield should read "HE".

Well the username is danella, I dunno, if people can't be clear, it's not my fault.
I didn't join this forum to be criticised and/or insulted
I have repeatedly tried to offer assistance in a polite and educated manner.
Frankly, I couldn't care less now, my phone works fine, and I am more than capable of solving any problem I encounter.
Not really sure why you're unhappy with me here???

@Wow @Anonymous how do I respond to that other than to say thank you.
I read the full thread and saw that everyone was struggling, both the OP and members on here, and ultimately the situation was becoming lost with limited sight of a successful outcome.
It is interesting however that the OP @Anonymous has responded to a post after mine but not responded to the suggestions I made.
There is a strong part of me that thinks the situation might be as follows:
1. OP lost signal (reason unknown - likely mast issue).
2. OP went into o2 store
3. O2 store, as is typical, diagnosed the usual sum card fault.
4. O2 store issued new sim card
5. This generates an automatic order on the o2 system which the OP would have received.
6. New sim not correctly activated.
The reason I think it is like this is that IF the OP received an erroneous email before going to the o2 store then I would have expected them to receive another email for the sim the store issued as it would have been registered on his account.
But as the OP has chosen not too respond (again it would appear from the thread) we might never know. The OP is insistent that he will only say he didn't order a sim.
If I am right then ask he needs to do is speak to CS or go into store and get the new sim activated correctly.
If I am not right the OP needs to provide further non personal information so we can review and hopefully assist.

If you read the whole thread, just about all of us come to the same conclusion separately, because it's the only one that makes any sense, from the information we have.

@Anonymous I don't want to drag this too far off topic but I think it is one of the best cases I have yet seen that points very clearly to a need for changes in how this Community responds to requests for help. As things stand too many people are responding and, in my view, far too quickly, before the necessary facts and background have been garnered and collated into some semblance of order. I know I get very confused by so much input, expressed in so many differnt tones, and worse than that I am, to put it mildly, quite browned off at the internecine war that so easily erupts between those who are supposed to be helping. No names, no pack drill.
I suggest that the powers that be should designate a small number of the better qualified members to take the lead in establishing the facts and in moulding subsequent contributions into clear and helpful advice(in standard English, with proper grammar, spelling and syntax) that the OPs may take or leave at their discretion.
The Community is in danger of earning a reputation as bad if not worse than O2 Customer Services.

Or maybe a flowchart to go through what people are seeking advice about, and possible solutions when they first register on the Community?
And also reminding them that this is a Community of knowledgable people who can help with the majority of things apart from account based queries?
