Help! Can't phone O2 and live chat not working.

[Anonymous]

im in France at the moment and there's a call bar on my number that means I can't phone O2. I can receive calls and the Internet works but I cannot make calls (pop up tells me call are barred). I managed to get my sister in England to call O2 yesterday and they said they had requested the bar be removed and it would take between 2 and 24 hours but 25 hours later it is still there. What can I do?

I have tried re-booting my phone every two hours..

That softens the disappointment and stress.

The thing is, everyone I've spoken to at o2 sounds nice. They all make the same sympathetic noises and apologies but haven't managed to solve the problem. Fingers crossed they have this time. I'm hopeful.

Bumping this thread because I'm about to go abroad again for the first time since my conversation with o2's Complaint Review Service where they promised that my phone would fully work the next time I went abroad.  This time, I'm going to Holland.

I took the precaution of emailing o2 to ask that they triple check there's nothing wrong with my account.  No reply but I have faith.

I'm back on Tuesday next week, so hopefully I will be back here telling you all that I was able to get online and make phone calls while I'm away...

Wish me luck!

Good luck and fingers firmly crossed for you
