Yes it's been going on for at least 12 months.
Lots of reports on here more than anything else.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

@Archer The number of posts just like yours, but with a different number quoted, must run to over a thousand on these pages. Follow the advice given to you by @Cleoriff. That's all anyone can advise at this point.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2
