CW (@Worly82) reportedWas on Vodafone for 15 years plus, very few issues. Been on @O2 for a few months and it’s absolutely shocking. Coverage appalling, phone cuts out part way through calls regularly . Paying for a service I’m not receiving. Avoid at all costs!
-
Richard (@InfernalBore) reported@O2 @Uptowndiscos Why are you directing people to a page that is no long monitored/active? How do we contact o2 Business customer support in the UK? Why is the o2 Business online portal not working? Customer service levels have been bad for a ages, but now they're bordering on non-existent.

Darren (@darrenbram66) reported@O2 I pay £12.50 Sim only for my wife's phone...bit of a rip off....poor coverage...30G mobile data that doesn'twork...should've gone with @lebara

Mr Angry (@angry_corner) reported@O2 Always seems to be an issue accessing my account, using either of your apps..... you really just need to simplify this!!! I remember when customer perception was a huge focus at O2, but they don't seem to care any more!!!

Suzanne Shrewsbury (@susieshrew) reported@O2 appalled by your customer service. You left my daughter phone-less whilst travelling, all because your ineffective record-keeping could not provide her with the info that she needed for her insurance. You cost her a lot of money, & we never got to the bottom of the issue!!
