  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • _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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @O2 Getting seriously tired of your automated system not letting me speak to customer services... instead the stupid ***** says “thanks for calling O2... BYE”! 😠

  • Lizzie64 Elizabeth Batchelor (@Lizzie64) reported

    @scootertooter7 @O2 We’re in rural Angus and have gone down the mobile broadband route after years of appalling “service” with BT. It’s proved so much better. Hope you get things sorted out soon. x
