Get personalised support. View your bills. And find out how much data you’ve got left. All by chatting with Aura in the My O2 app!

If you have recently updated your My O2 app, you can now chat to Aura. Aura can give you personalised support and more general advice. For example, Aura can help you understand your bill, let you know how much data you’ve got left, help with roaming questions and provide network support. We’re always looking to improve Aura, so you can get the support you need.

 

If Aura can’t give you an answer, just tap the “?” icon to see a list of topics you can get help with. Or, ask Aura to transfer you to one of our advisors. We’re available from 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. So it’s easier than ever to get help with your O2 account.

 

 Find out more here.

 

Current Support

Aura can currently help with a number of different questions and personalised journeys, from asking ‘How much data do I have left’ to ‘Show me last month’s bill’ – and we are always looking to add more to Aura’s ever expanding knowledge.

💬 I have higher charges why?

💬 Tell me what bundles I have?

💬 How much data have I used?

💬 Where is my nearest store?

💬 How much does it cost to use my phone in Spain?

💬 How do I unlock my phone?

💬 Can I send picture texts or MMS?

💬 Can I speak to customer service?

 

Your chance to help build the future

We really want to give our community members the chance to help support the development of Aura and shape the things she can help with in the future.

 

We would like to invite any interested members to join us in a space we have created to work closely with O2 to help develop Aura for the future – this would include testing new journeys, suggesting ideas for journeys and feeding back any information that can help. We would look to share regular updates and information, give an insight into future developments and look for your advice on where to go next.

 

Of course, being an O2 Pay Monthly customer would be helpful so you can have Aura in your My O2 app, but don’t worry - even if you are on Pay As You Go or Business you can still get involved in other ways, for example by suggesting what questions Aura should understand. We are even happy to get you involved even if you are not on O2  - we would still love to hear your ideas and feedback, but there may be elements you won’t be able to test/trial.  

 

If you are interested in taking part in this beta testing, let us know in the comments!

 

In the meantime, have a play about in the My O2 App, and let us know how you get on with Aura! slight_smile

Interestingly, when I ask Aura "what's my mobile number?", it takes me off to my IMEI number, not the Guide suggestions here for finding out what your number is (eg text NUMBER to 2020) or a link to this handy guide

 

Hardly intuitive, as your IMEI number is only useful for reporting your phone as stolen, in which case you would not have it to hand to type *#06#. D'oh!

 


Hey @pgn , we caught up with the Aura team around the feedback so far. Thanks for testing out the question I quoted above about your mobile number and letting us know about the issue - the team has now worked on this for the next upload to Aura and wanted to pass on their thanks! slight_smile

Hey everyone, 

 

Now that Christmas is almost here we're winding down the Aura trial for the holiday period. It's been a great success so far with loads of great community feedback put to use by the Aura team! 

 

In the new year we'll be picking things up again with a ton of new activities and testing to get involved with. The trial is still open to anyone who's interested in getting involved in 2020!

Whilst not exactly Aura-related, I'd love to see what ends up in the "Conversations" section of MyO2 - mine is particularly barren!

(with thanks to @Marjo for the screenshot above, snaffled from the latest MyO2 Guide)

 

 

My Converations section in the App shows (shortened to remove white-space):

((And I note the Icons along the bottom of it have changed, oops...))

 

Be nice to know what others have in there....

 

Be even nicer if that section contained the records of your interactions with O2 WebChat (as a suggestion!).

Mine shows exactly the same. I think it's a throwback to when you could make calls and send texts via Aura.

A bit like this, if anyone's read the book by Tom Sharpe innocent:

Hey, yes indeed, I'm just looking at my app and on that specific tab, I have a message saying "Here's where you can find your chats with our advisors. If you need help with anything, tap the headphones to chat to us."
