Mobile Data Drops

My local o2 store has told me to escalate my issue to technical support and request a ticket number.

On Saturday 8th July I obtained a replacement SIM card for my Google Pixel 6. Once inserted, the new SIM would not provide mobile data/4g but otherwise worked for phone calls and texts and on wi-fi.

After 24 hours I returned to the store on Sunday 9th July. They check basic settings and available data allowance and provided me with another replacement SIM. The problem remained.

On Monday 10th July I phoned O2 and was shown how to go to settings>system>Reset Options>Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & bluetooth. This DID restore mobile data but within 15 minutes the phone has forgotten mobile data settings and will not reconnect.

I have tried switching on and off multiple times

I have tried toggling aeroplane mode

I phoned o2 again on Wednesday 11th July and they suggested there was a problem with the phone itself

I have tried the SIM card in my previous Google Pixel 3 phone and exactly the same thing happens. After a reset it finds the mobile data/4g, but forgets it after 15 minutes or when I log onto wi-fi.

In settings>internet it say "O2 No Connection" and if I click on it it says "Wi-Fi won't auto-connect at this time"

This was not a problem until I changed to a new SIM on Saturday before that my phone was working fine.

Obviously my phone is not usable if I have to reset every time I am out of wi-fi range and then I have to re-input passwords to reconnect to wi-fi when back in range.

If you cannot help I'll have to cancel my plan and try a competitor firm to see if their SIM works but I don't want to leave O2. Please help.

We’re just customers like you but it sounds like you’ll need someone to access your account which can’t be done from here. If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this
Thanks
