Solved: Why can't I chat to someone online about my upgrad...

Anonymous · ‎02-11-2016

Hi

I've been trying to find out what options I have to upgrade and was hoping to speak to someone online but all I get when I go in is a message saying "waiting to see if an agent is available?" Anyone know what the issue is? I'm a busy man so don't have the time to speak to someone on the phone for half hour about it.

There are ongoing problems with contacting CS at the moment which o2 are aware of.
It might be quicker for you to pop into an o2 store or wait a few days for it to be fixed.

There are issues contacting anyone in Customer Services currently, both on the phone and through live chat.
The only other option is going to a store if there is one local and you have time.
Otherwise it is just a waiting game I am afraid...

systems were down for a lot of advisors yesterday for most of the day, they are probably experiencing a major backlog of customers

I work for O2 but my comments and opinions posted here are solely my own and do not reflect those of Telefonica"

The phrase "were down" suggest that they are back up now @Chattymuch. Is this correct or are there still technical issues?

We had complaints of long wait times since Sunday.

I hope so @Toby as people are still complaining.

Thanks @Toby.
As @MI5 mentioned on another topic (sorry, catching up and seen a few with this issue) it would be worth either putting a message on the CS phone so people know, and/or putting something on the web page.
At the very least, if people know there is an issue then they might be a little more understanding.
Just saying waiting times are over 30 minutes or not available is just going to wind them up...
