Are all O2 muppets mental ?

Phoned up for an upgrade today after they e mailed me 10 times saying it
was due.

problem one is their bloody menu system, 'press 2 to go to some
fool--press 3 to get though to an idiot' doesn't work on touch screen
phones.

When I get though I'm told by the (anal) retention department 'we can't
offer any more 12 month contracts as we have been told by the government
it will increase the carbon foot print to much'

Ask to get transferred to 'bye bye O2' department, oops sorry our
computers are down you can't leave yet, phone back in an hour.

I also tell them about the touch scree/menu problem and I'm told some
rubbish about they only sell the phones they are given etc, seems they
do not understand the simplest of things.

So all you PAYG users, it's YOU that is killing this planet. STOP IT NOW.

 

Why?

 

Thats kind of what I asked him, he just repeated the above statement to me.

 

What's so special about touch screens wrt end-to-end DTMF?

 

Works fine on mine - once you hit the on-screen keypad button. What
kind of fucked up phone have you got?

What.... ?

bollocks"

 

Xda Stella, did use the on-screen keypad, thats all there is.


But anyway thats not the main issue I have. This bollox about the
'carbon foot print' to over sell you a contract for 18 months gets me.

Which is total crap. Its just so they can say to some dodgy bank 'we
have X amount of income over the next 18 months via Y amount of 18 month
contracts, please lend us some money through one of your rip off
schemes. Then we can all go bust.

Ho hum, time to go shopping again.

 

I was thinking that too. When I use my phone to fiddle around with my
voicemail, it works fine.

The XDA Orbit can be configured to pass DTMF tones from the keypad. I
assume the Stellar is the same.

 

Why one earth would someone design a phone that didn't send the tones
from the keypad? Whatever form that keypad took?
