    @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

    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.

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

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

    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

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

    @O2 It’s still not working

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Leggler75
    Emma (@Leggler75) reported from Gateshead, England

    My husband & I have been with @O2 for 15 years plus. Can’t believe the terrible service after using them & O2 recycle. 10 phone calls later no further forward. Kept phone & no money. Disgusting 😡

  • 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

    @O2 I think your call handlers absolutely suck at there jobs they simply don’t do the job properly I’m fuming at the way I have been treated and I’ve been a customer for 20 years I’m seething at the treatment if all your customers the same you will simply go out of business

  • ElenaGretina

    @O2 the poorest customer service. Always telling me lies. Regret joining: :(

  • Bilsbbb
    Lisa (@Bilsbbb) reported

    @O2 I sent my phone to O2 recycle in the packaging you sent me, but am yet to receive confirmation that you’ve processed it. I have the Royal Mail tracking to say it’s arrived, but didn’t put my trade in summary in the package because my details were on your packaging. Help pls!

  • Markwatson23
    Mark Watson (@Markwatson23) reported

    @O2 Are horrendous and I'd never use them again, I think this is common knowledge now

  • kaaatzx
    KT (@kaaatzx) reported

    @O2 I can’t make calls and I’ve got no 4g either. Was the same all day and still the same now. I’ve checked all my settings, it’s nothing I’ve done. And your website says you’re having issues at every postcode I enter ?

  • AdzCrawford2003
    Adam Crawford (@AdzCrawford2003) reported

    @aloadobollo1969 @O2 @BlossomsBand You'll probably be asked to take test and there's no issue with that. Vax passports very unlikely as it'll be up to the individual venues and most of them don't agree with it.

  • JDSeb

    @O2 I may aswell use smoke signals to contact people cause your signal in my area is 🐶💩

    Your coverage is dire in Ripley, Nottingham @o2. More service upgrades or just rubbish?

  • chloeannelillia
    chloé (@chloeannelillia) reported

    @O2 is there anyone i can contact about my bill? i paid my phone off over a year ago and the contract was supposed to come down yet i’ve noticed i’m somehow being charged more than my old contract?

  • bethym09
    Beth Mitchell (@bethym09) reported

    Please avoid @O2. Can't manage their direct debits, blame customers for their internal errors, complaint process is non existent I'm left with a damaged credit rating and constant payment issues. They're service is abysmal. I've been hung up on, laughed at, LIED TO etc!
