I might add I have been trying lots of way to send one back and have spent over £5.00 on texts wasted. as for 02 surport like most of them is like talking to a black hole in its self. I shall change as soon as I can get a human on some other network, it would seem the only way to get a human is to call a sales line they soon answer then. Frustrating is not the word. on top of that I often get charged when some calls are said to be free. if you want any money back it can cost as much to get some one to refund it . So I dont bother.

I still find it incredulous that they are charging people for messages which never arrive thought. You would have thought they test these things!!

All I can suggest is calling their customer services to complain ask them to raise a technical defect ticket. Sounds like it could be a similar problem but strange that they still work one-way.
