    @segawhore @O2 Took 2 calls, nearly 3 hours and a messed up weekend but I got there in the end although no new phone yet. I can’t believe the service in store and the lies too.

  • chellehewison Michelle Hewison (@chellehewison) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Any issues in the Whitley Bay (NE26) area with mobile signal this weekend? I’ve barely been able to get 3G at times let alone anything else!

  • A11RNX Amran Ashraf (@A11RNX) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Hi. I’ve left O2 in September when my contract expired and switched to another provider. I was billed in September in error and I spoke to someone who refunded the difference from when my contract expired. I have today received a debt recovery letter???? Can someone help!

  • CraigSi64474606 nufc4life (@CraigSi64474606) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 and can’t even login to my o2 account online to pay it that way

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, England

    Does anyone use @vodafone in the Northumberland area? Is it any good? I'm currently on @O2 but looking to switch networks as O2 are being extremely greedy with large price hikes on their already expensive network.

  • Danford2013 John McCarthy (@Danford2013) reported from Whickham, England

    @O2 I was spammed. Then defrauded. Went to O2 shop and reported issue. Told Fraud Dept would contact within 2 days. Three further calls to O2 (2O2) and one month later still no Fraud contact and no resolution. Today notice to take another payment. @O2 any chance of sorting?

  • LuckyTony72 🎃 🎃 Lucky Tony 🎃 🎃 (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

  • stobbsmeister Paddy (@stobbsmeister) reported from Seaham, England

    @ThreeUK counting down the days until I'm able to leave. I've overlooked the poor CS and data dead spots however the reintroduction of roaming charges (after banging the go roam drum for years) is the final straw. I'm sure I won't be the first or the last to jump to @O2

  • LuckyTony72 Lucky Tony (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

    @O2 Got a call bar today. Absolutely shoddy customer service. Also I've waited a minimum of 20 minutes to speak to your alleged customer service agents who appear to be utterly inept to make a simple change.

  • C_Markham_ CM (@C_Markham_) reported

    @O2 joke company. 7 days after placing order, 2 phone calls to customer service, 2 escalations needing 24 hours still not resolved. If customer service is this bad when I’m trying to join, what will it be like when I’m tied into a contract?

  • _shannonbpowers Shannon Rivers (@_shannonbpowers) reported

    @giffgaff you might want to speak with your mobile line/owners @O2. You’re customers deserve better and @O2 aren’t taking it seriously. So many of us need to be able to call for help. Some of us are disabled and need to get onto the drs. Really unacceptable.

  • xgemm_x Gem✨🦋 (@xgemm_x) reported

    @O2 @O2 do you check dms? I have a phone loose battery and seriously overheating getting no where regards to any help, phone is under warranty until March

  • londontown1911 cj (@londontown1911) reported

    @clarkjames79 @O2 Just spoke to CS and you need go to settings mobile network, sim, preferred network type then turn off the 5g line and restart phone. He said it's linked to 5g whilst they fix the issue so just follow those steps. Worked for me. If not call CS as maybe something he did his end.

  • Gobberz Keiron Hopkins (@Gobberz) reported

    @O2 Yes, looks like a mast issue, got less than half a mile away and everything worked again

  • GeraldZibs Gerald Zibs (@GeraldZibs) reported

    @O2 hi there, I need to cancel and re-register for for O2 WiFi as I can't connect on the underground. I've tried everything. When i am on my account page to manage my O2 WiFi it just times out every single time.

  • Isabeld Isabel Davies (@Isabeld) reported

    @O2 I've tied three times to sign up to a new sim deal, but every time I try to checkout I get an error. Is this an issue at your end?

  • Ian_Somner Ian Somner (@Ian_Somner) reported

    @O2 FAO Matthew Davies O2 Customer Service Manager. I requested via Twitter an eSim pack for an iPhone 14. 5 days later I still don’t have one & the social media team has put in an order for a “Sim swap” which is not what I need. They don’t seem to understand how eSim works ?!

  • mattyapple Mathew Appleton (@mattyapple) reported

    @O2 changed my tariff the other day and visual voicemail has stopped working. Can you fix?
