I'm sick and tired of the absolute lack of customer service at o2. For well over a month now o2 have failed to help me even in the slightest, all they have done is waste my time completely.
It started when my I discovered my phone was locked. I went to get it unlocked (it was locked without my knowing when i bought the phone I might add, a phone singular, not with contract) and all the unlock code attempts were used up. So I phoned o2 directly, and they said they would send me a code to unlock it. They have sent me numerous e-mails, all with the SAME code that does not work. I phone again, they assure me the next code will work; It does not as they AGAIN send the SAME useless code. I phone AGAIN, this time on the phone for over 2 hours explaining in fine detail the problem, they tell me they understand, and will send me a new & unique code that will definatly work. That was 2 weeks ago & I am yet to recive the e-mail or code.
I am completely FED UP with the poor & frankly flippent customer service at o2, and I'm starting to think it will never get resolved because they just dont care at all about their customers as long as they get their money each month.

I,m not sure what you mean when you say it was locked without you knowing. Unless you bought it sim free any phone supplied on P&G by O2 is locked to the network?
Unlock codes are supplied by the phone manufacturer to O2 so they are reliant on the manufacturer sending you the correct code.

Have you tried taking it to an O2 store as sometimes issues can be resolved quicker in store.

It was bought sim free from an o2 store, and when I purchased it no one said it was locked to o2 only. At the time I didn't even know about phone locking & only know now because of the trouble I have had with this one. I got it & bought a sim card contract shortly after with o2 and its been fine for 3 years, but now I want to switch my sim in this phone, it refuses to work on any other network.
When I was putting the codes, tbh, I had no clue what I was doing, I was trying to click off the screen to do something else & whenever I clicked the cancel button it used up a code.
I had 3 codes left & I took it to be unlocked but they couldnt do it & the codes were all used up.
So I phoned o2 & they assured me it could be rectified, but like I said, all their codes have not worked & the one that they claim will work they still haven't sent after 2 weeks of waiting.

It's a shame you only found the forum after the damage has been done.......!
As you now know, networks rarely sell unlocked phones for obvious reasons.
Many other retailers will supply them sim free.

Its a blackberry curve. I will definatly keep pursuing it as I cant afford to spend money on a new one, I'm just getting sick of phoning o2 & getting the same circular responses & 'help' over & over again.
If they can take it & sort it that would be great, even if I have to pay a fee, as long as it gets sorted.
