Spammed by bill notifications

Hi, I've been an O2 Pay Monthly customer for many years.

Every month I receive a text message and an email from O2 telling me that my bill is ready to pay. I used to have the awful My O2 app installed as well and that started sending me notifications at the same time as well, and of course they couldn't be turned off.


I don't need notifications. I have a direct debit set up and I never miss a payment.

I must have called in ten times over the years trying to get them to stop and every time I'm told "OK, we've turned them off for you", but nothing ever changes.

I just got off a chat with a Guru who told me "the messages are sent by the system so they can't be turned off".


Is this normal? Does every Pay Monthly customer receive two – even three – reminders to pay a bill they already have a DD set up for?

It's bordering on harassment. I want it to stop.

Does anyone know how to kill the messages?

This is not a solution! email, text, AND app notification is overkill. especially as I pay the bill on 3 lines

@HudsonTea This is a five year old thread.

If you have a complaint then you need to start a new one.

However there are no agents here now, so there will be little us members can do 

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

The thing is. Starting a new thread still results in the same (unwanted) answers.

The only hope is asking customer service to turn off some of them, but as already stated, at least one will have to remain for legal reasons.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
