O2s system problem took out my internet and can't get through to support

[Megamathecian]

Dear community,

Recently, O2 had a hiccup where they charged me £50 for using roaming data that was included in my plan. After half an hour on the chat, and plenty of problems getting through, this was fixed by crediting my account.

Now, presumably due to another system hiccup, that credit has disappeared from my account and my £50 spend limit has taken out my data connection. And I mean my UK data connection which has 30GB of days remaining on it. 

This would probably be fixed promptly by anyone in tech support, but after a day of trying, I can't get through on phone or chat via the app.

Does anyone have any advice other than change network? What sort of compensation should I be entitled to?

o2 crediting back to your account, will only happen on your billing date, and it will show (should) in myo2.. 

We can only advise to ring o2 in the morning they open at 8am and speak to the Payment Management Team on 0800 902 0217 as it could be something else to do with your account. 

O2 wont compensate you, and you are not entitled to any, but you can always ask for a gesture of goodwill.. 

If you want to cancel you will have to pay off your device plan or minimum term, and the details are here Guide: Cancelling Your Contract  

And no network if perfect, and they all balls up....

Always interesting to look at the Community forums of the other mobile network operators in order to see what the week's trending screw-ups are.

For example, one UK network seems to have big issues in supplying customers with packaging and returns' labels when kit is to be returned within the thirty-day "cooling-off" period. 🤣
