    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.

    @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!

  • NTF_Ian Ian (@NTF_Ian) reported from Dunston, England

    Hey @O2 have been waiting almost two hours now to collect my new phone from your metrocentre store. This is not ideal customer service.

  • 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?

  • smiling_cyclist Dean (@smiling_cyclist) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @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.

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

    I am hoping that @O2 sort out their barring problem as I am not used to sending passive aggressive tweets @o2

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

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

  • 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

    @O2 I placed an order on Thursday for click and collect but was then told the order would take 24hrs to process, I still don't have a dispatch email and you haven't responded to my DM. How do I cancel this order for a refund? I want to look elsewhere now.

  • MrMatthewFrost Occasional Moron (@MrMatthewFrost) reported

    Made 7 (Seven!) calls to the @O2 contact center AND a visit to store. Still no further forward. Been told I need to send an email. What happened to personal service? All I need is a jiffy bag to return a phone and a promo code for an enhanced return. Pretty simple, no?

  • X2IKON Andy Senior (@X2IKON) reported
