Hello,
Before I make this post, I just want to say that I have looked at this thread:
and I have also used the O2 Service Status checker. I have also run a search on these forums for anyone else who have had these issues.
I moderate a large forum myself so I know that it can be frustrating when people keep posting the same issues and it gets really repetitive so I hope I'm not being a nuisance .
I have moved into a flat in the past few weeks, and since I first started to move into the flat, I have never been able to get any coverage, whether it be mobile internet, calls, texts: anything. I looked at the service status page for my postcode and got the message:
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have just come off the phone from ringing 202 and they told me that the mast issue's nature means that they don't have an estimated date written down but O2 are aware of the issue.
She wrote down my details for when it's fixed, and said that I should keep ringing just to get an update as to when it will be fixed. Online support told me its date is 8/9/14, but the lady on the phone told me there's no date so I'll give it until midweek next week and see where it goes.
I'll update this thread when I get any news in case anyone else out there wants to know how to go about dealing with mast issues if they're clueless like me!
Why online support gave you a specific date is a mystery. If it was Live Chat, which I presume it was, they are notoriously unreliable. O2's policy has always been not to give dates of when repairs will be finished. I doubt that any network does. They don't give specific dates to protect themselves. If they are aware of the issue, it will be repaired at some point. You're just going to have to wait until it is.

It certainly seems odd. Unless they are in direct with engineers on site, (which we know they are not) how can they possibly have an idea of the nature of the problem and the timescales involved it rectifying it?

If it clears things up, I saved the log and this is the part where I was told a timeframe:
---
O2 Guru: I am very sorry for the trouble, the delay is because the mast is getting replaced.
O2 Guru: Have you tried to contact our Network team once?
Me: OK do you know an approximate time it would take to replace a mast? It's just that I might get urgent calls/texts and won't know about it. I contacted Alka earlier this morning and they didn't get back to me in 20 minutes.
O2 Guru: I am sorry about the last chat. I have checked and the approx time it is stating is 8/9/2014.
---
Anyway, I'll let you all know on the 8th/9th whether they fixed it or not. Only time will tell!
