At 10/18/09 08:05 PM, Malachy wrote: what happened with me was that I called them up and told them, politely, that they never sent me any literature or explained the terms of the service clearly for me to understand, as many cell phone companies aren't sending you a new paper contract with every minor change you make, you may not always know what exactly the conditions of things are.

how much of a battle was it on the phone to be able to actually get what you want, though? i know this will vary from company to company, but some handle it better than others, as previous research and experience has proved complications.

When I told them this, they refunded the overage fees. I don't know about UK law, but in the US if it comes down to it, and you plan on taking the next steps you should at the least pay the amount that you feel is what you were supposed to pay, and tell them in writing exactly what you are contesting, how much, and why. You should send it through the post, as emails and phone call records can so easily be "lost".

i'm glad they refunded your fees, lets hope similar strike here! it shouldn't be too different from US to UK, after all it's the same concept. but you're right, i'll pay what i'm expected to pay and don't expect to pay any more. i suppose this writing will have to be in depth, accurate and of course, formal?

But it will likely not get nearly that far. Just ask to speak to a manager when you're on the phone, explain what you believed was the deal, that you apparently wasn't given correct information (you should avoid accusing them of misleading or lying to you, that will only put them on the defensive) and that you feel you signed up for a service that you really ought not to have. In almost all cases, they will refund the money, put the amount you paid to the next months bill or remove the extra charges if you haven't paid yet.

i'll ring customer services as apposed to the store i had brought it from, supposedly all the store will do is tell me to ring customer services. from the way you explain it, the process seems pretty simple, though i'm certain it won't flow as smoothly as planned. it seems to hard to try and be polite during the dispute but alright, thankyou for all your advice, Malachy. you've really been a help (and calmed me down!). i'll no doubt bump this tomorow after the fun phone call

yep, the number has been taken down, ringing them in the morning as its midnight.

Call them and make sure that the salesperson placed your account on the correct plan, and then argue for a refund, claiming that the salesperson made a mistake with your account. If the plan the salesperson enrolled you in does not actually have unlimited texts, then tell the company that the salesperson misled you, demand a refund, and get on the correct plan.

thank you for the advice. so i have to make it clear it was the salespersons fault and not my fault, a cause of concern is to whether they actually believe me. but alright, i'll follow your advice, thanks again.

Your final action, obviously, should be to go on a murderous rampage around your town, raping and pillaging anything that should wander into your path.

this kind of makes me hope it doesn't go to plan, so i can do this.

At 10/18/09 06:57 PM, Malachy wrote: your current plan may not line up with the offer that you signed up for. This happened to me last summer with a cell phone data plan. i was told "$5 a month, unlimited data", but what they didn't tell me was that my current plan didn't allow for that, so although I wasn't being charged any data fees, the "time" that the phone was using data was counting as air time, so I went over my monthly minutes and got some overage charges.

i feel this may be the most likely cause, as the same plan is now listed as 500/£7, but when i had signed up it was unlimited. i'm going to get screwed over, aren't i?

At 10/18/09 07:03 PM, Diddy wrote: Ring them an complain, O2 are notorious for giving customers what they want to make sure that they retain the contract

oh, they are? i hope this is true, hopefully i'll be able to get the bill reversed, but being put on unlimited may feel like a bit of a stretch.

Just dial a couple of numbers, press send, chat with the person for an hour or two, then hang up. End of story, period. Texting just increases the time a conversation takes place in. In the time you send one text, you could have had a good conversation.

calling someone for an hour or two isn't going to solve my problem.

i'm raging at the moment, riddle me this newgrounds

signed up for iphone o2 plan (LOLIPHONE), 18 month contract with a £7 unlimited bolt on for unlimited with no fair use policy (quote from the salesman AND O2 website), signed up to this, very happy and texting away, my first month isn't even up yet and i'm being charged £45 on top of my usual bill, coming to near £80. wait, what? i haven't gone over my minutes, the internet is unlimited and so is my tex-

my bill is telling me i'm paying extra £7 for 500 texts, yet it was clearly stated once i signed up i'd be having unlimited for the extra £7, salesman even wrote it down on my bill paper outlining it, saying a girl before had sent 6,000 odd texts and i wouldn't have to worry about going over, saying i'd be fine.

but, no. i feel so angry, but what can i do? i need help.
