It's been like that for me for the last few weeks on and off.
Alot of texts just never arrive, let alone arrive late.

If they can't provide the service they should stop offering it because it's been getting on my nerves alot.

Thankfully I have access to a friends Vodaphone accoutn so I can use the webtexts on there without any trouble.

I just sent this to customer.care@O2.ie

Dear Sir / Madam,

I have been using O2 Webtext for a couple of years now, since I was an O2 customer in fact. I have always found it to be a very reliable and prompt service.

However, in the last number of weeks I have noticed quite a downturn in the quality of the service.

Messages I send via the website have been taking up to four hours to deliver to the person I have sent them to. Sometimes they do not arrive at all.

Some of my friends who are also O2 customers have been reporting the same problem over the last few weeks.

As you can imagine this can become quite frustrating, as neither Vodafone or Meteor customer friends of mine are not reporting such problems with the websites they use.

My telephone number is 086-xxxxxxx.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

seansouth

Says in the T&C they can not confirm the delivery of the text

You'll probably find that it's one of your contacts address books or the address book of someone your recently messaged.

Looks like a corrupt database.

Iv noticed the same issue.. Ill mail them to!

To whom it may concern,

I have been using the O2's WebText feature for a number of years now and most recently I have notice that it suddenly takes a lot longer to deliver messages sent from the Internet. It does not matter which number I send it to - it takes a very long time (up to 7hours) to deliver messages.

I understand you do not guarantee message delivery but O2's Webtext has been fantastic since I have been using it and rarely I have had issues. But most recently, issues have arose with messages either not being delivered or taking a long time. Why has this suddenly happened?

My username is sullyirl and my mobile number is 086 *******. I have heard several people confirming they have also had issues with O2 Webtext lately also.

All help would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advanced.

Regards,
Kevin O'Sullivan

So I thought :rolleyes: yeah right you'll get back, another fob off here.

But no, I got this just five minutes ago.

Dear seansouth

Thank you for your query regarding the O2.ie web text service. We are aware of delays occurring with our free webtext service at present. The issue surrounds the delivery of a message sent via webtext. It may arrive late to the o2.ie users designated recipient or in a unique number of cases it may be sent through the system in duplicate to the users designated recipient. This issue, whilst not causing a problem for all customers is being treated very seriously and o2 hope to have an update on a final fix date over the next few days. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

I hope this is of assistance to you.Thank you for using O2.ie. If you should require further assistance, please call O2 Customer Care on 1909 from your o2 mobile ( contract customers) , or 1747 ( prepaid customers).

Kind regards,

O2.ie Customer Care

So, it should be fixed in the "next few days" :eek:

No delays today....maybe they fixed the problem.

Tested this on Monday, delayed by a few hours (didn't measure exactly). Almost as good as useless :-/

The o2 site has just gone from bad to worse, I have both an o2 and a meteor phone. and up until a month ago i prefered the o2 site because it was faster, and more reliable. Now I have turned to meteor simply because messages are not recieved for hours after they are sent.
Last week, I recieved a message from the o2 site 10 hours after it was sent and was already with the person. talk about useless! :mad:

jimbob

its working again..........

The Corinthian

Right. If this thread is going to benefit the community here, then grand. If not I'll be happy to move it to After Hours where you can bitch and moan all you want.

smokingman

Nothing to complain about any more....it's working....
The delay's been 1-2 minutes all day...even through lunch

...still bored....

If anyone's interested, I came up with a quick way of sending a webtext with O2. You have to be using Firefox (or Mozilla) for this to work as intented.

Go into your bookmarks and add a new bookmark. Use the address https://apps.o2.ie/NASApp/Portal/Login?username=myuser&password=mypass&referrer=https://apps.o2.ie/NASApp/redirects/grouptext/webtext.jsp
Replace the words myuser and mypass with the username and password you have for the O2 site. Tick the box that says open in a sidebar. Now drag the bookmark onto your Personal Toolbar Folder. The link should be visible above your tabs and with one click, it'll open into the message sending page.

Hope this helps

Bottle_of_Smoke

one good thing to do is always send yourself a message to see if its working, it is now anyway
