  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • gavwells77 gavin wells (@gavwells77) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 spent an hour to try and sort out and cancel an account and have been cut off 6 times now #not happy

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, England

    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.

  • 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.

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @jessklingelfuss @ThreeUKSupport @O2 It’s awful all over the place, in my opinion network is congested, too many phone companies with too many devices on a substandard network. If your not happy maybe retweet complaint using BBCWatchdog, WhichUk and ofcom tags. Im on a mission go get them to fix it or own up!

  • jamesbunt92 James Bunting (@jamesbunt92) reported

    @c_cooper88 @O2 It’s so bad isn’t it. I’ve always got this problem in Bath, it’s just overpopulated and can’t handle the traffic. I’ve been with friends in bath on EE getting 300mbps on 5G. Hopefully o2 won’t be far behind rolling this out!

  • caitlinxallen Caitlin (@caitlinxallen) reported

    @O2 Being told you cant arrange a phone call when ive had one before! I will be leaving when the contract is up, no help at all, even the text number given didnt work

  • NO128839973 NE1 (@NO128839973) reported

    @O2 hello. New customer. Porting old number fails with “something went wrong”. Not a good start.

  • 1975craigb Craig Brothwood (@1975craigb) reported

    Else to be honest, even consider smoke signals or carrier pigeons!! I've spent more hours in store than i have in work recently. They store made a mistake, and admitted that (I like honesty) but the process to cancel a contract that @o2 made a mistake on is ridiculous.

  • 1975craigb Craig Brothwood (@1975craigb) reported

    Just under 2 hours in store now @o2 Store manager can't fix the issue, regional manager can't fix the issue.....online support being slightly obstructive we think (but the instire team are still being very nice!)

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @karenwisdom @O2 @MartinSLewis Retweet adding BBCWatchdog, WhichUk and ofcom tags. I’m really cheesed of with o2. Total rubbish network and horrendous customer service

  • chrissyyyyw CW (@chrissyyyyw) reported

    @O2 I need your help, my mobile port seems to have failed. My temporary number works but the number I want to keep is dead. Please help

  • jasonsmith119 Jason Smith (@jasonsmith119) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Hi my dad has just taken out a new Virgin broadband contract with O2 SIM. The change over to the O2 SIM has been horrendous with appalling customer service from both companies. His Virgin phone number hasn't ported over correctly to O2 and he can't get any help.

  • seanconway1 Sean Conway (@seanconway1) reported

    @O2 I'm trying to contact o2 to cancel and stop my contract. I've no phone signal. How do I do it.
