Cannot get a quote or sign up online- New customer

I am trying to sign up to the online fix sept deal but I keep getting bounced back to the first page and have to renter y details.

 

I have rung Ovo who say the deal is only available online after 90 minutes on the phone, the chat bot is useless for this and I have asked they report it to their technical team-still on hold as I write this.

Any help from Ovo out there?

If you’d like to sign up to OVO, the first place to head is our Quote and Switch site.

 

Here, you can check the prices we offer on our range of plans and get a monthly Direct Debit quote. We’d really recommend finding out your annual usage figures from your current supplier and adding these under ‘Do you know how much energy you use?’

 

 

Ok, the team thinks it’s a case of massive call volumes overloading half the systems.

Have a chat with them via https://ovoenergy.com/help to use Live Chat and they’ll try to assist. When the bot asks what you’re after, use the keyword Agent to bypass it and you’ll get through to a human.

Please be aware that thanks to Martin Lewis, wait times are higher than normal, so you might want to wait a couple of days first before trying again.

Ok, and you’re definitely heading to https://switch.ovoenergy.com right?

I’m a Forum Volunteer so I can’t do much myself as I don’t have systems access, but make sure you’re going the right way.

Just tried it and I’m no 256 in the queue. Clearly bad timing on my side for coming out of contract now. Thanks for your help, really appreciate it
