We have some more great news for you guys 😉

The Sony Xperia Z2 is now up for pre-order too! Head on over here to check out all the tariff and availability details > http://po.st/CeeYGb

651781-1_O2_Sony_Xperia_Z2_1200x627.jpg

As well as being available on our revolutionary O2 Refresh tariff, you also have the chance to bundle a Sony Xperia Tablet Z for just £99.99, saving a whopping £300! This is an amazing offer and stock is limited. Just to repeat... That's the incredible Tablet Z for a one-off £99.99 when you pre-order the Z2!

Go on, you're tempted right? I know I am... I can almost justify a third handset and second tablet 😉


UPDATE @ 28th May, 2014 - Q&A section added with common questions being asked, and their answers:

Why is the claim site still up? You said it’d be updated! This is closing on the 29th May.
Although we’ve received 2,200+ claims, a large chunk of these were duplicates or were using false data. As a result, we have not yet exhausted all 2,000 tablets we had available for this offer. As outlined in the offer terms, claims must be made prior to 29th May and as we still had tablets available, the site was left open for last minute claims until stock was exhausted. Although Z2 pre-orders were delivered to many on 1st May, some who opted to collect in store still have not actually collected them, so these customers still have until 29th May to get their claims in and assuming they pass validation, will also receive a tablet subject to stock.

Your terms say I’d have a tablet within 28 days of my claim. Where is it?
Due to  the Z2 launching on the 1st May, we had to wait 2 weeks from this date to begin our validations. The reason for this is because it allowed our validation team to ensure the handset wasn’t returned during the 7 day cooling off period. Unfortunately, due to the amount of claims we received during this first week, it took an extra week for us to get all of the returns data from our systems. Our validations began from 14th May and the 28 day delivery clause began from when you were validated. We apologise if this part of the offer terms was not made clear enough, or caused you any confusion.

Where are you now with claims and Tablet orders?
As mentioned above, we’ve had over 2,200 claims, several hundred of which were duplicates or using falsified data. To date, all claims have now been validated. You should have received an update by text alerting you that we have not forgotten about your claim. Of all validated claims, our team have placed around 500 tablet orders, most of which have been delivered. We have around another 1,300 tablet orders to place against accounts which we expect to be completed within the next fortnight. We are currently looking into the possibility of getting more staff involved in this process in order to speed it up and complete them sooner.

Why have some people received a 4G tablet and mine is Wifi?
The tablet offer has always been for the Wifi-only version, though within our allocation of 2,000 Tablet Z’s, some of these were a 4G+Wifi version. We allocated these 4G versions to the first customers to submit their claim, who subsequently passed our validation checks. For the majority of claims, customers will receive the Wifi-only Tablet Z as advertised – but if you were amongst the first, you could get the upgraded 4G version. Whichever version you receive, it’s worth the wait – we promise.

Which order were claims being validated?
Claims were validated in order they were received - eg, if you were the first to claim, you would have been the first to go through validation. In reality, not all of this has been straight forward as some customers submitted data that didn't match what we had on our systems or the account, so we've had to get in touch with some customers to correct these details. As such validating these small number of claims has taken a little longer than expected.

Why haven’t you been in touch sooner with this update?
Unfortunately the launch of the Z2 did cause us some issues. We were always aware the device would launch during the week commencing 28th April, but it wasn’t until much closer to this date that we got an official UK launch date. This had caused us some issues and along the way, our validations team had run into some unexpected issues which they have worked through tirelessly. Despite this, we can again confirm all claims to date have been validated and weather successful or not, you will receive a text confirming the status of your claim.

I can definitely see where theonlypaulv is coming from, as far as his application goes the phone he got was returned and the number no longer in use, the fact that it was warranty claim and pac number change may not show on his application And it may look as if the combination of these changes to his account make the original claim void. No one at o2 has informed him to re apply or verified 100% that this application is not void. @Toby, is there anything he can do to make sure his application carries this information along with the new imei and new pac number he brought over? Or is it definitely shown as a whole on his account?

@Anonymous yes,  but people who pre ordered later than me and/or submitted after me have received their tablets. 

If it's being done either order then me/us have been skipped. 

As I have been  trying to get @Toby to confirm,  I don't mind if it takes from now till next month, my concern is not getting one due to O2 messing up. 

If they are indeed doing it order of pre orders or submission to Sony site,  then I have been skipped/refused which is odd because I am trying this on my O2 Sony z2. 

My concern is something has gone wrong and myself (as well as others) need this attended to BEFORE the 2000 are handed out And the total lack of any one communicating with customers is frustrating especially when it is SO simple to solve and seems to me/us so ignorant not to bother helping.

I'm sure if they found you missed out because of something that they did wrong and they had no.z tablet stock left they would just give you the z2 tablet

I totally agree, in your instance! I too would be VERY worried due to the repair and number port. my post was more about the wait in general not your specific case.

 

The only thing is the order seems to be random, as such I can only assume the VALIDATION has been done in order and then the actual issuing of stock has just been left to regular agents. and this order is just luck of the draw...as in your validated claim is sat on someones desk waiting to be put through. I certainly hope thats the case, but I understand your frustration! I too am VERY frustrated, not with the wait but the not knowing, and I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to suspect a rejection!

You'd hope so,  but as had been said so far,  O2s new customer service procedures are not really known in this thread for their helpfulness. 

Plus remember their parent company is going bust and thus is not spending a penny. 

I'd prefer to alert to them to the mistake than to throw my self on their mercy and I do not believe I am being unreasonable in that 😞

If you noticed you were being charged in correctly by O2 you'd contact the them to let them know and that they'd fix it.

I just tried to see if anyone was updating us on order status and the customer service manager told me the offer doesn't exist and said I couldn't have received a text from o2uk on Monday lol

Upgradeso rang Sony for me and they said it could take 28 working days from the date I got the text message

Interesting to find out the times/dates of the people who have got the tablets already. All seem to be people who pre orderd earlier...

I pre ordered on the 22nd April and registered on the Sony site at 2:16.

I have only had the text on Monday and no email.

Wonder when the people who have had nothing or just the text pre ordered...
