  • 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.

  • chellehewison Michelle Hewison (@chellehewison) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @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!

  • 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.

  • Donna_xx Donna_xx (@Donna_xx) reported from Sunderland, England

    @O2 why is the priority app down? Not good when you have priority tickets on sale at 10am !!!

  • 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.

  • 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

    @RachaelLinton4 @O2 Hello, did you ever get this sorted? I’m currently having the same issue, done this for my mum nearly two hours ago and they’ve taken the money but haven’t activated the rolling tariff! 😬

  • jacwhitmo1 jac whitmee (@jacwhitmo1) reported

    @O2 why are you penalising current customers over data, but you will offer (for the same money) unlimited data. Thanks o2 for bending me over but someone that signs up today or not just buys a sim gets a better deal customer service 10/10. After 8 years+ thank you.

  • Ceris8 Ceris (@Ceris8) reported

    TV advert for smartmeters… @BritishGas Got one…. Doesn’t “compute”…useless Hasn’t worked since local @O2 mast went down…which is still a farce. You’ve got a lot to answer to @O2

  • N_3_M_Z N 3 M Z™ (@N_3_M_Z) reported

    @O2 I’d like to know why I’ve just had to pay anything considering I’ve had a contract with you for half of my life and never missed a payment as it’s a direct debit how can I owe you money when you take it out of my bank every month?

  • RhysScott374 Rhys scott (@RhysScott374) reported

  • Handsintheruck1 HandsintheRuck (@Handsintheruck1) reported

    @John71381259 @EnglandRugby @O2 Worst player on the pitch today. Great career but well past his use by date. Slow inaccurate service and shocking kicking game. Ben Spencer is the best option when fit.
