24hrs ago I completed the online form to swap my payg micro-SIM (in my old phone) for a new payg nano-SIM (in my new phone, Moto G5 Plus). The swap has failed - O2 deactivated my old phone within an hour, but I am stuck with no working phone, and no help from O2 to get this fixed. After lengthy phone calls, I'm being told that they have raised a tech call but that will take 5 working days with no guarantee of a fix at the end. Two others have also apparently reported the problem but tech support won't escalate it until it reaches five users.
In the meantime I am facing a bank holiday extended weekend with no mobile phone, as a carer of a disabled child this is a H&S issue. O2 don't care. I've been a customer for 11 years. O2 don't care. I have a substantial payg balance. O2 don't care. I'm going to be without a phone for at least a week, maybe even longer if tech support only look at it in 5 working days time. O2 don't care. They are doing absolutely nothing to remedy this situation.
Anybody else in the same situation?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Turns out the one thing O2 does care about is their social media reputation. Thirty minutes after contacting them via the Facebook account, and the problem was solved - the phone is live.
I can only wonder what technical knowledge the social media team might have, that customer services do not.

Glad I'm not the only one. I bought a new phone the other day and had to do the sim swap in store for a nano sim. We are currently on Sim number 3... customer services promised me this one would work by tomorrow morning.. I wait patiently some more...
However it's good to see yours is sorted. Maybe there is hope afterall!
