  • o2 couldn't organize a p*ss up in a brewery ... Posted by me, UK
  • incompetant muppets - ive been trying all morning and getting different stories from customer services.

    Surely a company as big as O2 has the hardware capacity to manage large volumes of data on their site ? Apparently not by the looks of it - Mr. Jobs you should have given it to Orange and/or Vodafone they would have managed to provide a "Service" to their customers !!!

    It all reminds me of trying to order Glastonbury tickets again !!!

  • It now has changed to a sold out holding page!!!!

    Worst handling that could have ever possibly happened.

    What makes me laugh is that the first come first served is for those that pre registered.... and yet they opened up sales also for new customers at the same time and now have none left.

    Muppets is too polite for monkeys like these...

    Not that I mean to insult monkeys like that!

  • Speaks well for their ability to provide the required web access for all the new iPhone owners... Posted by midger, UK / AZ
  • Anyone stopped considered the rest of O2 customers that need to use the O2 website. I wanted to check some account details today and look at possible new phones for when I renew my contract. Instead I get the stupid maintenance page.

    I really wish the whole mobile world didn't revolve around the iPhone. I hope it comes back up soon for all the other O2 customers.
