I recently purchased a sim-only deal on 18/11.

 

The sim card didn't arrive for over a week, so I went to the shop to get a new sim instead (suggested by the expert online). I received an email saying the swap of sim has been successful.

 

The shop told me the new sim will work in 24 hours.

I tried it the next day, but it's not working, so I contacted the expert online again.

I was told to contact the fraud team to access my number, but there's no reason or explanation.

I emailed the fraud team, but it's been nearly two weeks, and there's been no response.

Today, I received an email and text saying I am overdue for my bill and will charge me a late payment fee in four days.

 

What I am concerned about are:

1. I used to be able to see a number in my account before I went to the shop but now there's nothing.

2. I have set the direct debit when ordering the sim. 

3. I haven't been able to use the SIM for undeclared reasons.

 

Can somebody make some suggestions on the following:

What's going on with my order?

Who can I talk to solve the problem, if there's one? (most important)

Why am I still being charged when I cannot use the SIM?

 

 

I can't imagine if they will start charging me late payments, which will ruin my credit score, which was already lowered after I purchased this new sim (hard credit check).

I feel I been completely messed up by O2.

I am so frustrated and feel hopeless. 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Lee

@Chris_Lee - Looks like you should contact the sales team as they can help with that – message them on Social Media  - on   Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG)

Or you can call them on 0800 081 0255. If you cannot make calls from your handset, use Guide: A Guide to Skype.. Good luck!
