Hi, Is there a number you can dial with O2 to tell you how many free minutes and texts you have left when you are on a contract? Online billing is not much help and has quite a few days lag.

You have to ask how many minutes remaining and they always say it is about 48 hours behind. Funny how PAYG give "instant" updated info but contract struggles. Never understood that. > > Hi, > > Is there a number you can dial with O2 to tell you how [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > "instant" updated info but contract struggles. Never > understood that. As I understand it, it's because the contract billing systems run in batch mode, so they are unable to give instantaneous responses to queries. Why this is, I'm not sure, but someone will be along shortly I expect..! Ivor >> Dial 100p1p2 and that will get you through to CS.

Done in batch overnight, off-peak, midnight to 6:30am. Pretty stupid, as they often fail, and need user intervention. This is for o2 mind you, I'm sure vodafone's is constantly done in batches throughout the day. >Funny how PAYG give "instant" updated info but contract struggles. Never >understood that. That's easy to explain. PAYG billing is done in real time so they can cut you off when the credit runs out. For contract phones, there's no need. They can sting you for the dosh at a later date. And as real time costs more to do, why bother?

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > ACL, I'm pretty sure that sub-domain is for shops only... ? I was with o2 for a 12 month contract and registered at the link at the top. Gave a full calls inventory and bundle details (e.g. how many minutes/texts left etc). Site access only worked with IE though (couldn't handle Firefox). Couldn't display bills at www.o2.co.uk although that would have seemed the logical place to go. Where is the correct place to see your o2 account these days ? -- Grumps On 28/10/2006 at 19:28:22 Musicrab wrote : > I was with o2 for a 12 month contract and registered at the link at the top. > Gave No browser opens it, thank for the help anyway :) The normal O2 site does show billing, I thought there might be a more _up_ _to_ _date_ billing site, is all. cheers SignatureP~K It's only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realise how often they burst into flames. - Harry Hill >> I was with o2 for a 12 month contract and registered at the link at the >> top.
