I am tempted to put in my first ever complaint to o2.

 

I just upgraded on the 27th October and my reason for doing so was to get the VOLT benefits as I am a Virginmedia customer too.

 

I was told this would take 14 days and today is day 15 and no update.

So i went on the chat with o2 to find out the 2 accounts don't have matching names.

 

Basically my o2 has 'Matt' and my virginmedia has 'Matthew' and because of this I now am being told to change my name on one of the accounts. I then have to show proof of name change.

 

There is no flipping difference with Matt and Matthew except the spelling, surely a little bit of common sense would see this.

@Mat_le_dad 

We’re just customers like you but it sounds like you’ll need someone to access your account which can’t be done from here. If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this

Thanks
