I recently lost my phone. I need to block the sim and order a new one. I cannot access my o2 account or app, obviously. This is for a pre paid sim, the english speaking line does not offer help for pre paid 

 

Please help as I have tried sooo many times and visited stores, called, tried everything. PLEASE help me

So, what did they say when you called? This is the English-speaking hotline.

Thanks for you reply, you made me realise that I did not add that this is for a pre paid sim, I have edited my post, thanks!

Then call the prepaid service; if necessary, ask a friend who speaks German well to call on your behalf.

Why wouldn't that help? It's the only way, right now, you're only registered as an interested party, so o2 staff can't verify your identity.

I can discuss my matter with the o2 staff or moderator when they reply. I appreciate your help but you are frustrating me, Have a good day.

As I wrote, you can't do that because there's no way to verify your identity here. I don't understand why you don't just call! 🤔

Hello ​@help9999  I’m sorry to hear that you’re having such a frustrating experience with this situation. 😕 Unfortunately, Bumer is right in this case. We cannot access your customer data here because you are registered in the community with an interested account rather than a customer account.

Therefore, we’re unfortunately unable to block the SIM card for you directly from here. Please contact the English-speaking Prepaidhotline recommended by Bumer and ask them to block the SIM card for you. 👍

I hope this can be resolved quickly for you. 😊

Best regards,
Senay

Thank for your reply.

There is no English speaking pre-paid hot line. There is an English POST-paid hotline, they do not help. There is a pre-paid line, not able to help in English.

 

I lost access to my o2 account, as I cannot confirm the details via 2FA, as I don’t have my phone. I created a dummy account as a last ditch effort to get help via this forum, which is recommended as useful in these scenarios. 

 

Can I not confirm my details via PM, please?

No, that is not possible. Could you not ask someone who speaks German to call on your behalf?

@help9999 

That’s why I wrote that you should ask a friend who speaks German well to call for you. There is no other way!

@help9999 Be very careful. In Germany, what you are doing here is a criminal offence. What is totally unacceptable is your attitude. Fortunately for you the moderators are quick to remove your vulgar comments.

Then bumer should understand that he is being very unhelpful and provocative. 

 

I’m done. Literally F o2.

 

Thanks for your help ​@o2_Senay I appreciate your replies

apologies for being vulgar ​@Bumer . I hope you understand my frustration after I'd asked you to refrain, despite this, i shouldn’t insult you. Sorry

@help9999 i completely understand that you are frustrated, especially since this is an important matter for you. At the same time, I have to be honest: I don’t see anything provocative in Bumer’s replies. I’m sorry that you experienced them that way and that the situation escalated.

I hope things have calmed down a little by now and that we can get back to a more constructive conversation. The suggestions made here were intended to help you find a solution. For example, involving someone who speaks German well when communicating with customer service could make things easier and help avoid misunderstandings.

I’d really like for us to focus on finding a way forward rather than continuing the disagreement. Please feel free to follow the suggestions already given and let us know how things turn out. We’re happy to support you within the possibilities we have here. 😊

@help9999 please keep in mind that this is a customer-to-customer forum. You cannot really ask another user not to respond to you at all, especially when they are trying to help with your issue.

That said, I’m glad we can move forward on a more constructive note. I hope we can now focus on the actual issue and find the best possible way forward for you. 😊
