Hi @Anonymous Welcome to the forum

Yes it is weird that they have taken this money if you have been declined. You need to ring customer services asap and explain whats happened. They will confirm whether you actually have been declined and refund the money if so. It could take between 5-7 days to process any refund http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

You could also check this link for My O2 and see if you actually have an account started.http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2

Either way you need to ring and speak to someone fairly quickly

It could just be reserved funds and may not have been taken.
Either way, you will get it back.
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.

It will be at least 10 days before it is back in your account

Check with your bank, it's usually just authorised and reserved without actually being taken.

If your struggling, you can ask o2 to fax over to your bank to confirm they wont be claiming the funds. But this will take some amount of sweet talking to O2
