Barry reckons o2 billing is down 'til Tuesday - updated

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?
