Frustrating issue with accessing MyO2 with old o2.com email account

[HarrisEden]

I would really appreciate some help. Having used the virtual assistant and rung on several occasions I am still no further with a resolution for my account to be transferred from an old O2.com email account (which I cannot access for two factor authentication) to my personal account.

O2 staff keep saying on the phone that tickets have been raised or the issue will be resolved but it persists. It does feel like they are trying to fob me off with excuses to get me off the phone, or saying the issue will be fixed when the system updates “in the next few minutes”. I can’t access my details online nor link to my widerVirgin Media account. Please can someone from O2 assist? I can’t bear another long phone call!

This is not customer services and no one on here can help you as we are all customers like you.  

I imagine the problem is the o2.com domain for email has been closed for a good few years, but they should be able to change the email address on the account, so instead of complicating it with them just tell them to change the email address.

Thanks for the reply. They promised to do this on the last phone call but it has made no difference and I still can’t access the account.

It's a known issue. And as yet nobody seems to have an answer

Try O2's Social Media team on Facebook using the link just below, @HarrisEden - be persistent! You can also get them on Instagram, but not on X at the moment. Good luck!

Another old email / invalid issue?

Thanks @MI5 

@HarrisEden Can you please drop me a PM including your mobile number & email address and i'll take a closer look 👍

[HarrisEden]

Thanks so much to you and @MI5 - much appreciated. Will do. I trod to get this resolved again today and no one was able to assist.

I've been locked out since July 15th @HarrisEden so don't expect a miracle cure immediately.

I'm sure it's against their own T&C's as it's preventing me from managing my account, so I will be escalating if not resolved soon.

Probably find there's an åss-covering clause in there somewhere, @MI5 - eg this, for MyO2 app alone:
