  • KyleMarleau Kyle Marleau (@KyleMarleau) reported from Walker Gate, England

    I’m curious how my number for sold ... I think @O2 sold it. Was only 3 for 4 years. Zero issue. Was on o2 for 4 months and this happened. Bullshit.

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 so… appalling service, no signal abroad, no signal at home… thought I might try to refresh my phone but it turns out that I can’t because last year there was a delay in getting my phone to me so my usual refresh date in October has been pushed back til November!

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    So to be straight: because @O2 have been terrible for over a year, I can’t refresh my phone until after I get back from my Christmas trip! You’re very VERY quickly losing a customer here and I’ve been with o2 for nearly 15 years.

  • fredspoon philip (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    Lots of companies doing their bit to help. I got an email from @O2 this morning and how they are helping is allowing people to access the @NHSuk websites without using your data. Whoopy ******* doodle do. I can’t wait it’s like Christmas all over again.

  • KyleMarleau Kyle Marleau (@KyleMarleau) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @christe1 @O2 It’s identical but @O2 claims they never heard of it. It’s on their website. 🐍

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @O2 I'll try one of these out. I've never had this problem before so hopefully it was just a one off mishap.

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @2bard @intueldonsquare @northumbriapol You're right in normal circumstances, however my phone signal keeps cutting out while @O2 are upgrading to 5G, last week a man had a seizure in front of me and I was getting repeatedly disconnected from the emergency services while trying to get an ambulance.

  • doc_drops Santa Drops is coming to Toon 🎅🎅 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    You’re rolling out 5G when Newcastle doesn’t even have basic coverage, I have a 50GB contract with you and barely manage to use 2GB a month due to lack of signal/searching for free Wifi @O2

  • DarrenMorgan Darren (@DarrenMorgan) reported from Washington, England

    @BootneckShuffle @O2 @EE Never had a problem with O2 untill I switched my DD date. They're hopeless

  • daveyK1234 Dave (@daveyK1234) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @Blyth_Spartans @O2 It was bad enough live I don’t need to see it again 😏.

  • KyleMarleau Kyle Marleau (@KyleMarleau) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @LukeSwinden @O2 I’m in the same battle with them. I claim they never heard of it. Can’t block that number. It’s not their fault. I signed up. I didn’t. Never heard of that before. I think @O2 sold my number or something. Shady

  • engg_rky Raj (@engg_rky) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    As expected @EE never cares about customer relationship and thus had not replied. @VodafoneUK @O2 if you have better options for me with 500 min India calls per month then please contact me I will port my number

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I was supposed to get a free upgrade every 12 months but your "problems with supply" last year meant that I didn't get my new phone for over a month after I requested it, so my refresh date is a month later, which pushes it past my annual christmas trip. It's a farce.

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your coverage in most of Newcastle is shocking, I live in NE2 and the best signal I get is 1 bar of 3G in my iPhone 7

  • petern280 peter nixon (@petern280) reported from Springwell, England

    @O2 is there an issue with the app data counter, mines said unavailable for the last few days

  • simonkeenan007 simon keenan (@simonkeenan007) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 Ignore me I'm being stupid lol, now let's move alone and ignore what I said have a great day and thank you

  • craigblundred Craig Blundred (@craigblundred) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 hi - my wife has been trying to resolve issue with SMS settings - have disappeared yet again. Spent over an hour on live chat but keeps getting passed to different teams then cut off. Has happened before we know what needs to be done but very poor service now.

  • AngieOrrick Angie Orrick (@AngieOrrick) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @O2 you have the worst customer service ever encountered! If I could stop paying you I would! That’s your shop and by telephone

  • luketerenceb Luke Terence Batten (@luketerenceb) reported from Washington, England

    @O2 I’m really not happy with my phone contract it’s far to expensive would like to cancel free of charge !!!!! Fed up of this bad customer service

  • m_rainbird Steve Davis (@m_rainbird) reported

    @O2 Deadline with your tin-pot company has been by far the worst part of the whole identity theft experience. This tweet is probably the twentieth time I’ve contacted you. Please let it be the last you completely incompetent shysters

  • allyc375 Alison Cameron 🤍❤️🤍💙💛 (@allyc375) reported

    Depression is so bad right now. Recently I have had layer upon layer of trauma - A&E admissions, being stuck without my @O2 phone which I am still paying for, worrying about the violent neighbour, loss of lovely Tommy, extremely noisy works. Not sure I can be bothered any more.

  • AlisamelPeylor AlisamelPeylor (@AlisamelPeylor) reported

    @VodafoneUK Well, your customer serví e is appalling, and you reintroduced roaming charges in the #EU. Very happy with my move to @O2 where I can use my mobile abroad using my allowance.

  • Bardimo Michael Bardi (@Bardimo) reported

    @O2: 51 days and counting! Please release my line (07809828332) or do us all a favour and cancel your useless Sim only contract! Your fraud team is a joke! Haven’t given me any information for 51 days despite all my personal documents sent to them. Cancel now!! #O2scam

  • Levinicolex Levi 💛💙 (@Levinicolex) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @O2 keeps dropping out, not receiving calls or texts, data is on and off and @Plusnet not working either. 1st world problems but the only day I need internet and both aren't working properly 😑😑😑

  • JessMattinson_ Jess 🦋 (@JessMattinson_) reported

    @O2 support on the app are slow as hell, ffs

  • sumkirsty kl 🌸 (@sumkirsty) reported

    Happy iPhone 14 release day!!!! I would be waiting for my new phone today if @O2 weren’t so crap at sorting it out like 😭

  • AnnaAlderton anna alderton (@AnnaAlderton) reported

    @O2 my son has had no signal most of last night when he was in London and now no signal on his way to school. My coverage is fine and his phone is on my bill so I can check his data. He has about 19GB but is unable to use it. Can you help?

  • iryanjamese Ryan🫶🏽 (@iryanjamese) reported

    @Cianbrennan19 @BeBe_BopBop @O2 What emails did you get before the dispatch one??? Im also a first time customer.

  • davidcowan79 David Cowan (@davidcowan79) reported

    @O2 shockingly poor customer service at your Maidstone store. Waited near on 30 mins to be seen the assistant Steve then allowed another customer to jump the queue who had been there 5 mins and I was told to come back later! Andy is the manager, but I need an email address pls!
