  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _RebeccaJT Rebecca (@_RebeccaJT) reported from Sunderland, England

    @O2 can someone please give me a response to a query, I have had an automated reply in dm which not helpful in anyway. I have tried my o2 app and it doesn’t help. I have also tried ringing o2 just keep getting cut off.

  • rebeccajadetho1 Rebecca Thorne (@rebeccajadetho1) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @O2 It’s still not working

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • RuxanaNargol Ruxana Nargolwala (@RuxanaNargol) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @hellyarrj @O2 Having the same problem. #o2 should deal with this. Totally unacceptable.

  • andyphilipson Bilbo Gubbins (@andyphilipson) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Hey I just received a text claiming to be from yourselves saying there’s been a problem processing my bill and gives me a link to update my payment details. Pretty sure it’s fishing as my details haven’t changed. Can you confirm if I DM you a screenshot? Cheers.

  • 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.

  • zeeshannadeem13 zee (@zeeshannadeem13) reported

    @O2 day 7 still no call back from a manger was told 24 to 48 hrs work hours way past that . Shocking customer service .

  • hoarp001 Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported

    @O2 I sent a letter about a week ago to cancel a new contract under 14 day cooling off period. I have not heard back. Your website will not give me contact details, it just goes round and round in circles. How can I get confirmation of my cancellation? Thanks

  • GaryBurgessIUA Gary Burgess ⒾⓊⒶ (@GaryBurgessIUA) reported

    @O2 It’s time to leave!!! Awful experience both online and on the phone. You are offering new customers far better deals than existing ones and competitors are offering better. That’s me done after nearly 20 years.

  • lynz84uk Lynsey (@lynz84uk) reported

    @O2 finding it very difficult to access help with My O2 account. My verification email expired and another link sent today hasn't worked. Your website keeps telling me to log in to My O2 for assistance - not much use when my issue is with logging in.

  • TheKaramel22 Katherine (@TheKaramel22) reported

    @O2 any ideas why I have full bars of 4G the last week and I constantly have “no internet connection” when searching/going on apps? I’ve done all the steps, turned on & off - checked the local checker for any issues and states no problems. I’m not paying £40 a month for nothing..

  • LilyPinkBaker 👻 Claire (@LilyPinkBaker) reported

    @O2 But how can I miss out? Surely the allocation should be enough for each customer to have one. And why is it now only once a month?

  • steveprioruk Steve Prior (@steveprioruk) reported

    @O2 Hi. Have you got a problem with 4G in South Somerset? Can’t appear to get any data at all?

  • JasonMo25436420 Jason Morgan (@JasonMo25436420) reported

    @O2 got new unlimited SIM but after 24 hours speeds bit slow and signal dropping

  • 1312Se SE 1312 Londoner 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇷🇺 (@1312Se) reported

    @O2 I will heads up your network tips don’t work

  • kmsarah90 Kmsarah90 (@kmsarah90) reported

    @O2 @Tizer42 This is a joke, not even available for an hour! I'm cancelling my contract and know lots of others who have said the same, it was the only thing keeping me with o2, nice weekly pick me up treat. Last week I went on Thursday and it was already sold out and now thus today!
