  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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. 🐍

  • 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.

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

    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

  • 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

  • PeteLivez Peter Livers (@PeteLivez) reported

    @O2 Gave in after 1hr 30mins on hold intending to cancel contract. Why do you make it so difficult?? Don't worry that is a rhetorical question!

  • onestep4ward Johnny Ward (@onestep4ward) reported

    @O2 hey guys, great customer service as always! So now my pay and go sim is alive again, i topped up 30 quid and it auto-deducted it to fulfill my 30 Big Bundle. That's 100GB right? My question is can I use that data freely in Italy and France as if I was in the UK?

  • scandiax S C A N D S 🌻 (@scandiax) reported

    @O2 this was my 3rd call and I am jot waiting again another month for you to not give me the money off my bill. So I asked for my complaint to be raised. To which she said she will raise an EOD I know what this means you close it down like you've resolved it and this isn't..

  • scandiax S C A N D S 🌻 (@scandiax) reported

    @O2 I called yesterday and explained why hasn't a manager called me to be told I will send the manager a message snd he will get back to you, no one has. Awful service, disgusting how you have dealt or not dealt with should I say. I do not any part of this awful company anymore.

  • Phil20632657 Phil (@Phil20632657) reported

    @Dave7438501904 @wrexham @O2 I was with O2, couldn’t even get an O2 signal in the O2 shop and neither could the staff member I was speaking to 🙄 I left and got an EE contract - no issues now

  • spoise87 Marc (@spoise87) reported

    @O2 SO30 is there an issue? Very very slow internet despite full 4g signal

  • AlfMyers Alf Myers (@AlfMyers) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 How can I stop receiving letters from you for someone how has never lived at my address? After 4 attempts of using your help desk. I've had 4 different responses and I'm still getting mail.

  • rosstheconsumer Ross (@rosstheconsumer) reported

    @O2 I left my contract with you in the first 14 days but have been erroneously billed for the whole contract. Your call centre told me I have to pay it and then claim it back. Your community pages say this is wrong and to contact you here for assistance. Can you help please?

  • Meeesterpablo Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@Meeesterpablo) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK we had a good run guys, would’ve been 12 years in June 💔 I put up with patchy signal all these years because you were value for money. Final straw was reintroducing roaming charges & removing free Go Roam. You forced me into the arms of @O2 xxx

  • dj_mcguinness David McGuinness (@dj_mcguinness) reported

    @O2 how the hell do you speak to someone in you customer service. It’s hopeless dealing with you … I cannot wait to leave
