I have 4 different mobile phone accounts for the family that are all linked to the same account in myO2.
I cancelled my auto top-up for one of the phone numbers yesterday as I had decided to transfer that
phone number over to a giffgaff account. But this morning my phone was topped up by £10 automatically!
I checked my email and I have confirmation that the auto topup was cancelled, so what happened?
Well, I contacted O2 via the online chat and they told me no cancellation had been received and they refused to refund me.
Now I remember when I cancelled the auto top-up being confused by seeing a message which said ""the mobile number we have for you is 'nnnnn'" which was one of my numbers but not the one I was trying to cancel.
So I went back through the login sequence again making sure I had selected the correct phone number.
Again, it was this other number which was shown in the message. I repeated this for all my other numbers with the same result. So I came to the conclusion that it was just because I have several numbers linked and the "main" contact number was the one being listed in the message.
However, it now turns out that this "main" number HAS had its auto top-up cancelled and so the cancellation was applied incorrectly, there appears to be no way via the website of updating the auto top-up on any number other than this "main" one.
In case you read this and think I'm just being stupid, this is the sequence of events I followed. The problem is repeatable everytime:
1. Login to myO2
- I am presented with a list of 4 phone numbers linked to this account under the heading "My O2 Products and Services"
2. I select the number whose auto top-up I want to change.
- I am correctly shown the details and balance for the selected phone number.
3. I select "Top up your mobile"
- The bottom line of the message on the next page says "The O2 mobile number we have for you is: nnnnn", where nnnn is not the number I selected to topup but is one of my numbers (always the same one).
This is clearly a bug in the website as there appears to be no way of updating the auto top-up details for any of the other numbers.
As a result of this bug I am now £10 out of pocket. I clearly did not want today's top-up to happen as I have just requested that number be transferred to giffgaff!
Hopefully somebody from O2 will be along to investigate and refund me my £10 shortly.
Solved! Go to Solution.
