Jamie Daltry (@JamieDaltry) reported@O2 Why when I google O2 am I confronted with a Virgin login page. I am, for my sins signed with Virgin for broadband, when it works it’s ok. When it doesn’t, it’s a similar nightmare. Same impossible log on procedure, MI5 levels of security I just want access to my emails and bills.

Lauren Alex Hooper (@laurenahooper) reported@TheO2 @O2 Any particular reason why accessible tickets were impossible to get for any Olivia Rodrigo date? Why the emails get no response?

-
Lilith Tuylor (@lilith15016) reported@O2 How about equal service for PAYG users?
-
Lilith Tuylor (@lilith15016) reported@O2 O2 refuse to accommodate customer needs re: payment dates. The data allowance is appalling for PAYG users, and the coverage is poor also. Cue the ‘sorry you feel that way‘ dismissal from O2.
-

Potatoface (@spudhead1986) reported@O2 how can I not get any service in two major places in the south east. London Bridge and bluewater! Less than 4g in both places is shocking
-
Kieren Bushnell (@kbushnell1975) reported@O2 You utterly useless clowns. There is no option to send a messag via private message, as surely anyone in your shoddy organisation should know. You are an utter disgrace and if this is the way you treat customers of 20 years plus, you are very much going down in my esteem.
-
Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported@O2 @RichardPaulBonn Absolutely disgusting TEN hours been waiting for a response to dms and for u to get the issue sorted. Worst so called customer service ever award goes to you
-
Tim Fry (@lipsyfry) reported@O2 **** network do not waste your money
-
Kieren Bushnell (@kbushnell1975) reportedNever using @O2 ever again. They are an utter disgrace of a company. Avoid at all costs. What a shambles of an organisation you have become.
-
Blue (@BlueDdolly) reported@O2 hoping you can help. I need a replacement sim. I can’t call as I don’t have a working sim. The chat says they can’t get me a replacement unless I can receive a text. Can’t receive a text as I don’t have a sim. Can’t go to a store either so hoping you know a different route!
-
John Coombs (@jc5415) reported@O2 I have transferred to o2 but my number transfer hasn't been scheduled (I entered all of the details correctly and it's on the system). It's very difficult to get help with this. Can you help?
-
𝕽𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖉 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖍 🏴🇬🇧 (@BritsB4Boats) reportedHas anyone had any experience of making an ombudsman complaint against @O2 (or other network)? They’ve not billed me correctly for almost half a year now, adding charges for a phone I sent back in January (with their prepaid packaging, and I gave them Royal Mail’s tracking number for it). They’ve also abruptly ended a payment plan I was on, allegedly because it “automatically terminated” when my account was credited for the charges for my previous phone, which should not have been added. I’ve tried asking them for help today, but they have been ******* useless
-
Kieren Bushnell (@kbushnell1975) reported@O2 Do not have a complaint reference as your complaints team have not responded to ANY of my emails!!!!!!

Benny the Fishe (@squidgyfishy) reportedHey @O2 I have a phone that's locked to your network but since I'm now on GiffGaff, I can't unlock it... What do I do?
-
Oluebube (@Oluebube49496) reported@O2 I am currently in Nigeria and my O2 UK SIM is showing “Emergency calls only.” I have already tried: restarting the phone, enabling roaming, manually selecting partner networks such as MTN and Airtel, and changing network modes.

Kirsty (@kirstygc1) reported@O2 The app is still not working and if it doesn’t work today you have lost a customer.
