    @bt_uk I have an email inviting me to sign up for BT mobile phone plan. I was with BT for yrs then you discontinued your mobile plans and past me on to EE mobile. They were crap. Now you’re doing mobile again. I don’t get it.

    @tctantan @bt_uk @bt_uk a once great company is now CRAP so I’m not surprised by what you’re saying 🤙🏻 You should ask to see the itemised phone bill for the non existing service! 🤙🏻

    @bt_uk Why am I always chasing you lot up? Service is in the weeds. Pathetic.

    @bt_uk BT took it upon itself to close the official complaint. (My comment)

    @bt_uk So the text bot didnt help, I cannot access the Web page, and I cannot use my landlines to call as its also currently out of use.

    @bt_uk Thanks. I have tried that. Three times. Doesn't work

    Dear @bt_uk we moved to an address you don't supply to in Jan. You said cancellation would be automatic but are still chasing me for payment. Your CS team are simply unable to comprehend and my complaint was closed without investigation. Come on eh?

  • GraemeDavis
    Graeme Davis (@GraemeDavis) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for responding. The situation is crazy. I just want to cancel and not rebook an engineer visit. It should be simple. But instead spend an age on the phone and escalate? It’s disproportionate for a simple task.

    @bt_uk wasted half of my morning waiting for a customer service operator to answer their phone!! Why is it so hard to simply talk to someone. #by_uk

  • BeckieMetcalfe2
    Beckie Metcalfe (@BeckieMetcalfe2) reported

    @bt_uk why do you not effectively deal with complaints? I made a complaint on 10th May, on 11th May it was closed with no resolution. On the same day it was reopened and escalated to a manager. I have heard NOTHING!! Can someone please call me with a resolution??

  • GraemeDavis
    Graeme Davis (@GraemeDavis) reported

    @bt_uk Your comment sounds fine @bt_uk but your team in this line appear not to be authorised to cancel an appointment and not rebook it. How do I contact someone whohas the authorisation to do this?

    The @bt_uk app is a load of crap it updates you can’t use it even to turn my kids Wi-Fi back on

  • Gavtaraysin
    Broden 🇬🇧♿✝️ (@Gavtaraysin) reported

    @bt_uk I can't get in my account because of your pass code system is sending out multiple pass codes which neither work, and now it says to wait or cancel. Cancelling does nothing to fix the problem. How long do I have to wait until the pass code system resets?

    Vicky Johnson (@VicJohnson04) reported

    @skytv £39.95 (installation fee!) to send out a new sky box when I’m already a very loyal customer. Daylight bloody robbery @bt_uk I think you’ve e got yourself a new customer

    @bt_uk Internet cut out last night. Router is blue but says no Internet connection, struggling to even use phones on 4 and 5g and all other devices and gaming consoles not connecting. Its been rebooted and factory reset, help please?

    @bt_uk you are truly the worst company for customer service.

    @bt_uk 2/2 Subsequent calls & one did say there was 'a known issue'. Called before i went away & made a complaint that as I said earlier, was reported closed almost immediately after confirmation email said it was being processed

    @bt_uk why are you charging me 90 quid a month when new customers can get same service for 24.99 this is unacceptable and you know it is as well. My bad for not shopping around I will be now.

  • Morwenna41
    Morwenna Moseley (@Morwenna41) reported

    @bt_uk Hi BT, please advise if there are issues with bt account login at the moment. When we login to view our bill it states you cannot find our account details at this time. Thanks Morwenna

    @btbusinesscare terrible connection again today. Slow download all morning. I didn't want to listen to the radio anyway! 😡

  • TheParagram
    Ethan Keating (@TheParagram) reported

    So the cheapest to renew my @bt_uk contract is £57 a month but a new customer can get it for £38 a month? I've already phoned and they can't knock anything off the price... Switching to @EE is no cheaper either... make it make sense

    @weatherbraine @bt_uk @Ofcom We went away from BT due to their service. Who in their right mind uses Evri?

    Emma (@em_doapsi) reported

    Whoever owns the local mast… @bt_uk needs to fix it because it is now constantly cutting out. I use my mobile phone as a landline too so it’s inconvenient. I have been with two networks and same issue so it’s deffo local mast.

    @TweetForTheMany @bt_uk @EE I switched away from Virgin because of connectivity issues. Hope yours is better.

    Finally, a customer service employee from @bt_uk is taking ownership of my complaint. Apologies offered by her. I have requested a timeline of everything to identify human error in ceasing the account. Agreed a plan to reinstate broadband & get a refund from @EE @BBCWatchdog
