Hello,

I had ordered online an iPhone 15 pro max 1T on contract, on the 6th of February and it was ordered together with the tariff O2 Mobile M Boost Online. DHL could not deliver the phone to my address, due to an error in the address in DHL database. The address in my O2 account is correct. However, the address in DHL database got truncated (probably during exchange with O2) → the building number is 1 instead of 1B. This is entirely not my fault as I have entered the correct address into O2 database while signing the online contract. 

Now the phone is on the way back to O2 and I have received an email from O2 stating that the order shall be cancelled once they receive the returned parcel. 

Meanwhile, I have received the letter containing the eSIM profile, which I have installed in my old phone, as I needed a German number ASAP.

Now what would be the next steps?

  1. Can I continue with my sim plan? If yes, what will be the cost, will I still receive the Hardware benefit?
  2. When I will receive my refund of the deposit paid (383EUR) for the hardware?
  3. Will the handy contract be terminated automatically as the order gets cancelled? Will I be changed monthly for the phone as well.. or only for the eSIM? 
  4. I do not speak German yet, I am new to Germany. How do I contact O2, if I do not receive refund and/or my bank account gets charged for monthly installments for the phone I never received due to a fault in the system (O2/DHL or both), which generated a wrong (with truncated house number) address?
  5. How do I write to O2 privately in English, so that I can provide my order number and identification details, in order to get detailed status update on the whole cancallation process?
  6. Is the hardware contract separate from the SIM contract?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Good Morning @abmunich2024,

Well, the SIM contract and the smartphone contract are 2 different contracts that you have to pay for differently. The SIM contract remains unaffected, in your case it is the MyHandy contract. If the cell phone is returned, it is canceled. The only option is to revoke the MyHandy contract, since you are not responsible for this error. As far as I know, O₂ only offers English support via the customer hotline. But don't worry, the moderators will also check here, but this can take up to 14 days due to high demand for help.

You can of course also try the live chat to see if they offer support for English-speaking customers, but I'm not so sure about that. (Support times: We are there for you on weekdays from Mon. - Fri. 8 am - 8 pm and Sat. 10 am - 6 pm. CET)

Kundenservice English: 089 66 66 30 08 1

Best regards,

@RhobarDerIII Thanks a lot for you response. I will try calling the English customer service. I have already tried the live chat, it doesn’t support English. Thanks for confirming that the SIM and the Handy contracts are separate! :)


Hey @abmunich2024,

Were you able to solve your problem with the help of Rhobar's tip? 🙂 Has everything worked so far? 

Greetings,
Flo
