Daniel Bedingfield turned to his Twitter followers (@DanielBedingfld) to become a consumer activist, angry with UK mobile phone provider O2. The 31-year-old singer writes:

I don’t think that I have ever come across a company as bad as @o2 Never been exposed to such VINDICTIVE customer service in my life.

Seriously. Bought unlocked iPhone 4 from @o2 and took it to the US. I Didn’t work.

So I can’t use my UNLOCKED iPhone 4 from @o2 because they can’t (or refuse) to unlock it unless I catch a plane back to the UK to do it.

The move resulted in a response from O2′s Twitter (@O2):

@DanielBedingfld Sorry to hear you had a problem – what’s gone wrong?

@DanielBedingfld Sorry to hear everything that’s happened – if you follow us we’ll DM you some info on what to do next

Daniel Bedingfield posted his first video blog at his YouTube. The 30-year-old artist was on a ski lift and talked about his role doing the score for ‘Devil’s Playground’ before reaching the top, then videotaped himself as he snowboarded down the hill.

Video at YouTube has since been removed.
