Extra data for NHS workers

Does anyone know how long it takes to get the extra data being offered for NHS workers?

 

I ran out of data a week ago because of increased use and patchy wifi at work (GP practice) and applied earlier in the week but still haven't been topped up. 

 

I was also charged 54p for sharing a contact - again work related - I'm fuming about it and O2 have made it impossible to talk to anyone or contact them. I've just tried 202 and was cut off because it wasn't a fraud or stolen phone issue.

NHS Staff: O2 is committed to supporting the valuable work of the NHS, helping frontline staff on O2 stay connected. From Thursday 23rd April O2 will be giving NHS staff a free 10GB bundle of data each month, for a three month period, so they can stay in touch worry free. More info here.

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.

Thank you for working hard for this country.
You can try contacting O2 on

For the time your data will come I'm not sure when it is but I believe everything is running slow currently
Allow a little bit of time and exercise some patient

Once again thank you for working so hard in times like this

It was from the 23rd April. I'm sure you appreciate there are a lot of people they have to roll this out to so it may be a couple more days yet
