It does allow it, but it only comes available a) when an agent is available and b) when the queue length allows.. 

It is like a lot of "live chat" it is actually time delayed as people complained that they didnt want to spend time in queues, so when an answer is made to the question it pushes it back. 

This is not customer services and we dont have access to your account
I do not work for o2 or any VMo2 /Telefonica/Liberty Global Company

Nope, I got a message saying my question would be answered whilst I could ‘get on with your day’ 

O2, just like so many service providers, are no longer bothered about the customer experience.

£1,800,000,000 profit last year. And still my bill went up by 15% - it’s a national disgrace

@VickyVega - much of the support function is handled by the O2 Social Media Team, leaving telephone support for the selling and money side of the business, as far as I can see. The Chat option is very heavily scripted and therefore not best suited to answering really technical queries.

 

So: Call Centre for Payment queries.

MyO2 or Web Chat for general account queries.

O2 Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, as referred in the page just below this post) Team for everything else.

Then there is the Community Forum, where the real help happens 😉

No idea....lots of problems with O2

Chat should be accessed via MyO2 but you are better off using Social Media

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

It is worth bearing in mind that Live Chat is not available to PAYG customers.
