Text messages from O2

[Anonymous]

As a career and a Response Pastor I have to keep my phone by my bedside.  How can I prevent O2 from sending me texts in the middle of the night - thereby waking me up unnecessarily?

Or put it simply just put your phone into silent mode with vibrate only

Might not help the OP @Anonymous if they need to be on call for emergencies. A vibrating phone wouldn't wake me when sleeping soundly....

Just an idea as I know that still not everyone can access the marketing preferences options to opt out

I know...I was just remembering when I was nursing and on call at night @Anonymous and how my phone had to be left on...(though with some of the things I was called out for I wished it had been off )

If I'm on call my phone has to be on - fortunately I don't get called out often these days but I'd be mighty upset if I was awoken by marketing spam from anyone, esp when o2 reset the preferences in their favour so even setting them yourself don't help!

Or if you can't actually do anything about it @MI5 as it always says content unavailable

That's their way of stopping you opting out mate!

[Anonymous]

That's unforgivable & not right

When I was on call 24/7 they only had my landline number.....if anybody called at 3am then I knew it was work and urgent.

Same here before I had a mobile. Had a second landline installed in bedroom. Easiest call was one for a theatre emergency ...worst one for a Major Disaster callout. I was so shocked at that one I thought it was a wind up.... as we used to do mock MD exercises every two years without warning. It wasn't a trial run....and hey ho we all got there...(though a lot of us didn't look totally professional...It was a Friday night after all...)
