I had a note in from SMS Text News reader Barry concerning el Chumpo — that is, everyone’s favourite UK mobile network, o2.
Barry is fuming — nigh on apoplectic — that o2 has seen fit to switch off it’s billing/shop system until Tuesday.
Tuesday? I had to read his email again to check I wasn’t seeing things.
FOUR-DAYS-FROM-NOW-TUESDAY? Geez.
I’ve been trying to verify this. Obviously I didn’t bother phoning o2 Public Relations — fat lot of use they would be (I’m told by a few people that they believe a ‘blogger’ is some kind of advanced lumberjack) — so I’ve been seeing if I can order a phone on the o2 site. That segment appears to be working ok to the point of typing in my name and address.
Anyone else had trouble with o2 recently?

I think I got it wrong. Later that same day all was well. That said it was O2’s own message that popped up on mine and my bosses screen for a couple of hours. Sorry for the false alarm. They still suck though.
