O2 Open Employer Code

[Anonymous]

So as of today the system for O2 open has been tweaked to try and reduce the abuse of the system.

Yesterday I bought a new phone contract, and I discussed in store about applying a discount using O2 open. I was told to head to the website and put in the details and such, however I'm lost when it comes to the employer code. The website suggests you speak to the HR department.

I am in the army reserve and we don't have a central HR department. The closest it might be is the clerks and they have no idea what I am talking about when I asked about the O2 code.
I've got all my verification details ready to go but I can't proceed past the first stage because I don't have the employers code.

If anyone else has had some success at this or could point me in the right direction of where to ask that would be useful.

Thanks

Hey guys.
After Googling and coming across this thread, I couldn't find the answer so I called O2 and they provided me with the 5-digit code for O2 Open.

For the Armed Forces, it's "ARM01". After that just use your military email address or upload a payslip.

I hope this helps!

It would appear to be an abbreviation of your employer with 01 on the end, ie NHS01, ARM01, etc.....

That's interesting to know and pretty easy to remember as long as you know the correct abbreviation for your employer....

I'm sure you could have a good guess too

This will probably get the most obvious answer, but here goes..

I already know my companies new 5 digit o2 open code, but I know things have changed since I last activated o2 open. When I did it before, I just went instore and they pretty much added it for me, I didn't need any work email or payslip, etc. (I haven't upgraded yet so still blind to the new process).

We don't have work emails at my company, so my option would be to upload a payslip.

My question is.. How do I upload it? Does it need to be scanned onto the computer, then upload the file, or will a picture taken on my phone, then uploaded be fine? Because if it's the former, then I can't do it as I don't have access to a scanner. Also, can I upload more than 1 picture as my company name is on the front of the payslip, and the other information they want to see is on the inside of it?

Probably really obvious, but I need/want to know before upgrading. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for what you tried. I am a self employed NHS worker and have the same issue.  Have used NHS01 as the company code but we do not have a NHS Payslip - so have just uploaded the Bluelight card.  Hope that works

Please let us know whether that works or not @Qubits. 👍
