  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • VictoriaMurtha Victoria Murtha (@VictoriaMurtha) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Currently trying to upgrade my phone. No online agents available, if I visit the store will there be someone available to help me?

  • nossy1996 Gracie (@nossy1996) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @MyUNiDAYS @O2 I am trying to activate the JBL discount but no money seems to get deducted at checkout... plz help, I’m desperate for a new speaker

  • doc_drops Andros 👾👾👾 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 my sim stopped working, I can’t ring 202, can’t go to your shops and your live chat is down. Please help

  • sheilavictoriaR Sheila Robson (@sheilavictoriaR) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

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

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

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

    @O2 It’s still not working

  • 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 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 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #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.

  • kathrynbaird_ Kathryn Baird (@kathrynbaird_) reported from Cramlington, England

    @O2 do you actually talk to your customers? I’ve been trying to contact you all week via the app, have called numerous times to be hung up on by an automated service and can’t get through to you at all. You’ve charged me twice for my bill & disconnected me even though I’ve paid!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • adshill Adam Hill (@adshill) reported from Morpeth, England

    @O2 I’ve just been told that the only way I can use My O2 is to setup a new email account despite My O2 saying it’s the phone number that is the problem. Do I have to have two email accounts just for O2? Seems utterly absurd.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _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.

  • 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

  • Ram08671320 Ram (@Ram08671320) reported

    @O2 Yes, can make calls and texts. No issues, only cant use internet at all. In fact it doesn’t even show that 3G/4G Availability.

  • justin_arnold Justin Arnold (@justin_arnold) reported

    @O2 I have DM you and provided the information requested, I have been sat here for over an hour awaiting your response to a conversation? Is this O2 idea of customer service??? #poorcustomerservice

  • DilpreetDaheley Dilpreet Daheley (@DilpreetDaheley) reported

    @O2 been weeks we’ve had bad signal in my area and today I have absolutely no signal. What is going on?!?

  • beverleyone1 Beverley Fletcher 🌈❤️🌈 (@beverleyone1) reported

    @O2 you really need customer service training. Being told there’ll be no refund on a service that has been unreliable for a month and looks like it won’t be fixed any time soon is appalling. This mast in IG6 needs to fixed urgently now.

  • bri0142 bri0142 (@bri0142) reported

    @hmbljx @O2 I've moved over from three and thought they were bad

  • AndrewLeggate Andrew Leggate (@AndrewLeggate) reported

    @O2 experiencing extremely slow phone data since yesterday, despite it showing I have 4G. Pages either load slowly or don’t load at all

  • NeilDelahay Neil Delahay (@NeilDelahay) reported

    @O2 Hey thanks. Shows full signal for my post code. We have 5 o2 devices in the house and all have same signal strength indoor and out. Dropped calls lack of data speed?

  • Pennie_J_H TuppenceHapenny 💙 (@Pennie_J_H) reported

    @O2 what is going on with your service? Changed phones on Saturday but have had no calls or mobile data since yesterday lunchtime. No response on your chat service and can’t call customer services.

  • alsheard Al Carson-Sheard 💙 (@alsheard) reported

    Is there a problem with your Live Chat option, @O2 ? I connected to an operator, sent them several messages and got no response. Have tried to start another Live Chat and keep getting the “we’re busy right now” message - been waiting to connect for over 20 minutes now!

  • LauraLea93 Laura-Lea Size (@LauraLea93) reported

    @O2 Hi, is web chat open today? I haven’t been able to make or receive calls since last Thursday. I hear 3 beeps and the call doesn’t connect. Texts and data are working fine. The issue is happening everywhere I go not just at home. Thanks in advance
