I woke up this morning, expecting my iPhone to be fully active, after the o2 support line said stores would be working on activating the iPhone over night.

What I actually found, was that my iPhone was still showing “No Service”, restarting the iPhone and even resetting it did nothing to help the problem.

I made my way to the o2 shop that I brought the iPhone from - And guess what I was told? It could take up to 5 days to activate all iPhones, but most should be activated within the next 48 hours - Come back next week if yours has still not been activated.

WHAT THE FUCK * 2?

NEXT WEEK? I’m fucking paying for this iPhone from Yesterday, and they are just acting like this is “normal”, well, I can say for sure, its fucking not normal, and if my iPhone is not activated within the next 48 hours, I will expect a free month.

UPDATES:

2:15pm - Still “No Service”, upon phoning o2 again, they told me it should be activated by the end of today.

3:16pm - Still “No Service”… I’ve had the iPhone for 30 hours now.. How long does it take?

4:27pm - Still waiting… I’ve got to go to work now, so wont be checking it until the early hours of the 13th - 48 hours after I brought the phone… It better be activated.

6:03pm - Finally! After restarting my iPhone, while in a car driving down the M25, my phone activated, and I got 3 text messages from o2, letting me know my account information. PS: I should just say, I was not the person driving the car

6:07pm - “No Service” again, guess they are still having problems.

6:15pm - Active again - Cuts on and off every now and again. But at least I know my number now
