02202

I went on the 02 website and asked the virtual help assistant what the number 02202 is and below is the answer I received, hope it helps. I'm just going to ignore them as I am pay as you go and don't want an upgrade. I HATE COLD CALLERS!!


02202 is a team from O2 that are calling people to actively check their tariffs and upgrade them to a newer tariff if they wish. If you do not wish to be contacted by this team please ask them not to call you again.

Sure, and we will all believe some poster on the internet... (who can't spell).
Maybe it's time to tell O2 customer services to stop saying to people that this is not O2 number?

Well, after 33 pages it appears nobody is any the wiser.

The version I have is:

02202 is an outsourcing company that are contracted by O2 to contact customers and offer alternative tariff deals. They work from a database using an automatic dialling system. This dialling system operates on the principle that if there are 10 call takers, it rings 20 people. The first 10 that answer get routed to a call handler, the 11th has nowhere to go. If you are number 11 you end up with nobody to talk to. The commercial principle is that if you ring 20 people, half of them will not answer. If you have people dialling, that means half of your staff are sitting around getting paid to listing to ring tones and leave voicemail message.

Getting on the database - If you ever at any time forgot to un-tick a box somewhere saying 'I do not want to receive offers from ...' You will end up on a database somewhere and start getting phone calls.

If you ring O2 customer services, and explain you do not wish to receive these calls, your number will be removed from the database. It helps to take a fairly robust attitude.

Its LMB working from Belfast on behalf of O2 trying to get you to change from pay as you go a pay monthly package called simplisity. free o2 - o2 calls + 300 mins n' txt to other networks for around £15 per month  not a bad package but it must be direct debit.

Hope this helps.

It called last week, asking for my husband in a very strong accent.  I offered to take a message, but she rang off.  Last night there was a silent call from this number and about 10 minutes later the same voice as last week again asked for my husband.  This time I told her not to call again.  It was quite late, too.

Got a missed call from 02202 this morning

I didn't recognise the number and so I didn't answer. They left me a voicemail message which lasted 2 minutes, and it was just noise in the background, as if they were calling from a call centre.

Hope they don't ring me back but I wont be answering if they do!

this number has rang me atleast 4 times in the last week...

weird

I have been receiving calls from 02202 for a few weeks and I have litterally just spoken to a lady (which a british accent) who tried to sell me broadband.  I told her I wasnt interested so I didnt want her to waste her own time and mine.  But they can be persistent.  SO I asked if she was from O2 and she claimed she was, however my friend works from O2 and says they never ring you up trying to sell you stuff, and I have never have received a call like this in the previous 6 years I've been with them.  So I'm unsure as to what the truth is.  However I managed to hang up  before I lost all composure.  I take it no one is the wiser as to what the truth is.

Received many calls from 02202 but always missed them then when i did answer i said i wasnt interested and the male just hung up very rudely.

i keep getting a call from 02202 occasionally sometimes it can be 4 times a day sometimes i dnt get a call at all but would like to know who it is and how they got my mobile number

i keep getting these calls too. heard different stories as to who it is. i just answer it and put the phone down. their bill. it could be o2 but best to call them and find out. very annoying tho especially if you don't have the patients of a saint like me!

i got a missed call off them yesterday and didnt know who it would be, luckily i didnt ring them back but gunna report it to o2 now x

They rang me few mins ago. Didn´t understand a word, man´s voice repeated twice and then just said don´t worry MADAM! and hang up.
