Student Discount code not working?

[bexinthecity]

So I did my upgrade over the phone and the guy said to get my Unidays code and text it to the number 61202 once I got my phone.

I tried this and it says the code isn't recognised but I've double checked it and it is.

And I can't get through to live chat or the phone because they're saying the systems are down?

Is it likely that the message I'm getting is because the systems are down?

Thanks.

Hi @bexinthecity 

Not sure why you aren't getting it. Although if the systems are down, that would be the reason.

  I'm sure you followed the advice here ...

Guide: O2 Open & Friends and Family discounts - How to sign up 

If nothing is working I will tag @EmilieT or @Martin-O2  and maybe they can help?

[bexinthecity]

Yeah I’ve followed the advice in the link.

Hopefully I can try again tomorrow but if not some help from the two mentioned tags would be great thanks.

@bexinthecity 

We have had confirmation that there are problems with the systems today....

Try again tomorrow.

Good morning @bexinthecity, how are you getting on with this one since you last posted? Do you still need some help?

Thanks for the mention @Cleoriff

Hi,

I've tried again over the last couple of days and still not working

Trying to get through to customer services (chat has been down permanently it seems?)
