Ever since joining o2 I have had nothing but trouble. It took 3 days for them to port my number, and I’m still not receiving 2FA text messages. I’ve been locked out of my banking app for about a week, including my Apple Pay as they cannot verify my cards.
I also can’t access half of the apps I use and pay for regularly like social media and streaming services etc 😞
I’ve rang o2 every night for the past 5 days and they just keep creating ‘tickets’ and assuring me it will be resolved within 24 hours. (Obviously it has not.)
I rang my bank to explain the issue to them and see if there is any other way they could verify me but they just said that without the code I could not access my banking. Thank goodness I have someone who’s just given me access to their bank cards for the past week. But if I didn’t I would have been completely screwed! It seems absolutely ridiculous that it could cause this much inconvenience?! Has anyone else had this problem? O2 customer service been royally useless!

It's not a split port.

@CariadCymru ah I see. I can’t go back to EE as I have no service where I work with them. I might try Vodaphone though, as their CS is better so I’d have better chance of someone fixing it and getting it resolved atleast.

I did not say a split port at all @CariadCymru
I said missing porting files. Completely different.

It’s pretty much the same situation! The solution is the same. The GCP (Gaining Communications Provider) needs to submit a request to the LCP, requesting the incomplete or missing files.

@MI5 @CariadCymru spoke to them over social media (Instagram) and someone from technical rang me. I used your messages on this thread to help me explain what the problem may be- and it’s been fixed. Thanks guys!

Vodafone were my first contract way back in 2003, they were pretty good except I discovered they were ripping me off on data charges.
My next contract might be with EE, I was with them about 16 years ago, only reason I left was because they didn't have the phone I wanted at upgrade time so I left in favour of O2 (bad idea yeah)
