Kudos to the team at o2 who’re having a bit of fun and spreading the lurrve this Valentine’s Day through a series of personalised video messages from ‘Cupid’. There’s a hot Cupid (look out, ladies) and there’s a panto-dame-style Cupid — have a watch of his introduction and explanation: It looks like the Cupid service [...]

Hello to all the o2 employees working from home in today’s flexible working pilot
A quarter of o2′s 12,000 employees are working from home today. The company has shut the doors at their Slough HQ for this day only, in support of what they’re terming as the country’s biggest ever flexible working pilot. It certainly sounds like it to me. The point of the exercise is to test the [...]
Watch how this one plays out: o2 sending mobile numbers to every website you visit
There’s a mini firestorm brewing this morning around o2 UK. Earlier this morning, Matt Brian over at The Next Web broke the story about a ridiculously shocking privacy breach by o2. Here’s a bit of Matt’s story: If you reside in the UK and you are one of the millions of subscribers to mobile operator [...]
o2 is eating it’s own dog food with “Joined Up People” enterprise offering
Kudos to o2 Enterprise. The team specialises in helping enterprise organisations embrace flexible working. Instead of simply knocking out a few whitepapers, the company has taken a different path. It’s embraced the flexible working ethos itself! Here’s a quote from their story [PDF]: We’ve been on a journey. We’ve saved millions. We use hundreds fewer desks. We’ve changed [...]
You can only lease 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4S devices from o2
Quite a few people have been asking about my experience leasing an iPhone from o2 the other day (here’s my post about my intent to do so). Alas I didn’t manage to do so. Here’s the overview: I sat down with Ronnie at the o2 store in Richmond-Upon-Thames on Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived into [...]
I’m going to lease an iPhone 4S from o2 this afternoon
Did you hear about o2′s new leasing programme for iPhones? It caught my attention because it’s almost something I’ve been banging on for quite a while. My favourite operator innovation concept is that I just pay a flat fee per month and receive whatever device I want. The idea being that I finally divorce myself [...]
o2′s Workshop concept store is very, very promising
This afternoon I needed to buy a decent tripod for the video camera. I left the old-old tripod in some hotel, somewhere on the planet — deliberately, as it was getting too clunky and too annoying. I bought a new one but negated to recognise that it didn’t work very well for stand-up interviewing. It [...]
o2′s innovation team launches international calling card app – love it!
I have to say kudos to the team at o2′s innovation labs. Kudos gents. They’ve created an international calling card application that you can download for your app. It’s a really nice idea — and something that I think most o2 customers who call abroad now-and-again should have on their phone. If you’re a regular [...]
o2 launches Guru TV to provide video help for customers
Good news. I’m pleased to see o2 has jumped on to Youtube to establish a help channel for their customers. It’s called Guru TV and it boasts a whole host of instructional videos featuring topics like, ‘how to setup WiFi on a BlackBerry’ and ‘How to change wallpaper on a Sony’. Some of the videos [...]
James Parton introduces Telefonica’s all new developer platform, BlueVia
There’s been a lot of positive chatter in recent days about Telefonica’s BlueVia service for developers. So I asked James Parton, Telefonica’s Head of Developer Marketing, to give us a quick overview. Telefonica is well known for being serious about working with developers — and I’m pleased to see continual innovations and iterations in their [...]
Palm Pre Power Button Failure: o2 says £117.50 to fix
I got this note in from Mark who’s having some trauma with o2 and Palm. Have a read… Hi Ewan, I have been a fan of Palm for many years starting back in 1996 with a US Robotics Palm 1000 and over the years have purchased many of their products. Through blind loyalty I even [...]
The £1.2m o2 iPhone Scam: How did it happen?
Like many people I was very interested to read this story about the recent scams committed on the o2 network (and others). At first it was rather funny to read. It was a bit of ingenuity, a clever ruse and a way to get back at the operators that charge too much anyway. Yeah, yeah, [...]
