Twitter Updates for 12-02-2015

@O2 I have done so. No effect. App only works when connected to wifi. I can connect to Twitter with phone browser only on data plan. in reply to O2 02:09:24, 2015-02-12
@O2 so connection is fine, app is fine, you appear to be blocking the app specifically. in reply to O2 02:10:21, 2015-02-12
@O2 when I upgraded to monthly it was to save money b/c of my twitter use. 3mnth in you've disabled twitter SMS on 4days notice. in reply to O2 02:12:42, 2015-02-12
@O2 The only options I seem to have on O2 at this point are to only update from home, spend 5min per update by browser or buy a new phone. in reply to O2 02:14:53, 2015-02-12
@O2 My ability to communicate with people has been greatly hampered and I am extremely unhappy about that. in reply to O2 02:16:32, 2015-02-12
Laying in bed unable to sleep. Throat feels raw. Trying hot-choc again. Being irate at O2 for preventing me using Twitter. 02:18:42, 2015-02-12
See previous tweet replies to them for details. Will be looking up how to get out of contract tomorrow. Network recommendations welcome. 02:20:26, 2015-02-12

@O2 No I can't sign into Blackberry ID because it also says my data services aren't enabled. So can't install a screencapture program. in reply to O2 10:22:00, 2015-02-12
@O2 "You are currently on a data plan that does not support this application. If you want to use this application, please connect to.." 1/2 in reply to O2 10:26:34, 2015-02-12
@O2 "..a Wi-Fi network or contact your service provider to upgrade your data plan." That is the entire contents of the error. in reply to O2 10:27:17, 2015-02-12
@O2 I was told by your online help it was an account setting that would be fixed in 24hrs. That was on Sunday. in reply to O2 10:36:25, 2015-02-12
@synx508 Do you have a link to this information in more depth? in reply to synx508 10:41:04, 2015-02-12
@O2 How would removing the battery change the account settings you said YOU have stored? But sure, why not. Nope, that'd didn't help at all. in reply to O2 10:46:06, 2015-02-12
@O2 Okay, crazy idea. Could it be that when you upgraded me to pay-monthly you removed the Blackberry bolt-on from my account? in reply to O2 10:49:28, 2015-02-12
@O2 They confirmed I was set on a regular dataplan, not the blackberry one I was set on when I was PAYG. We'll see how it goes come midnight in reply to O2 11:01:54, 2015-02-12
