Keeps calling but never leaves any voicemail. Have blocked all 0162 numbers now.

I’m not sure this is really o2 anyway, but if it is, I’ll decide when to switch my plan, not because of annoying calls claiming to have amazing deals.

This number’s called me a few times but never bothers to leave a voicemail, seems like it’s just another scam call!

Looks like an O2 number to me, defs some kind of sales call or sumfing.

This number keeps ringing me, but I dont pick up since I don't recognise it.

Total SCAM BUSINESS. A load of idiots working from home using Skype numbers that say they’re from Manchester. They try to seem legit by showing the O2 sign-up page and sending a code to your phone through the O2 network. Don’t fall for it. Anyone can do this just by going to the O2 site. Honestly, O2 makes it easy with how they word their text messages. These scammers promise you a cheaper pay as you go deal than what you’ve got now. It’s all rubbish to trick you into giving away your private info.

I received a message from O2 promoting an enticing offer, but they wanted me to download an application first...

They rang my mobile again. Not many folks have my number, and the only Manchester number I keep is for my Bupa cancer nurse. I didn't catch the buzzing, was tryin to get some rest in bed.

Got a call claiming to be from O2. I acted like I was Vodafone customer support, messing about with these muppets is way more enjoyable. Keep the scammer hanging just like they try to do to you. Use a fake name. Mine was "Derek Heria Pants," it’s a laugh when they call back asking if that’s on their system. Bet they get all flustered. Haha!

They keep saying they are from 02 and have rung me a few times. Definitely a scam tryna steal your details. Best to just ignore and stay clear.

Someone called my phone but I didnt answer it. Not many folks have my number, and I’m with o2. I use pay as you go and only call now and then, text when I can, but my touchscreen is tricky to use cos of the cancer treatment I’m going through.

This number has called me loads of times and I don't recognise it at all, so I just ignore it. Proper irritating.

+44 161 249 7898 has been ringing me up 3 times daily for ages, saying they’re from o2. Honestly, best thing to do is just block it.

Got called 4 times from a number saying its 02.

they kept ringin me a couple times each day but i just ignored and then blocked the numbr. ive had calls from almost the same numbers too, some folks here on the site said they’re from 02. honestly, best bet is to just not pick up and block em right away - thats what i think is safest.
8 years
they kept ringing me like 2 or 3 times a day but i never picked up, ended up just blocking the number. ive had calls from close numbers too, people on here mentioned they might be 02. honestly, best bet is to just ignore and block them as soon as they call - feels like the safest move to me.

They've been ringing me every day, sometimes twice a day, for the past four days.

They rang me about 4 times on Monday so I looked the number up but couldn’t find it anywhere online except on these sorta websites, so I just blocked it. But even after blocking, they still called another 8 times on Tuesday! Really annoying.

Missed a call from 016124978981, so I rang back without realising who it was. It was 02, and the message they left was quite polite. However, they've been ringing me 2 or 3 times every day now, and I'm really not interested.
8 years
Got a call from someone saying they were from 02 about my phone usage. They wouldnt give any proper info about my account and were really dodgy when I asked questions. They just rattled off some really vague stuff. Towards the end they got kinda pushy. Read some past reviews saying this was 02 but their attitude felt pretty sketchy so I’m not convinced it was legit.

He claimed to be calling from O2, but then asked me what my usage was. I told him if he was really from O2, he’d already know that. He ended up just making stuff up, nothing close to what I actually pay.
