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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Over twelve months later. Must be a profitable scam.

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
