  • 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.

  • 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.

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

  • 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!

  • 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

  • daveyK1234 Dave (@daveyK1234) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @Blyth_Spartans @O2 It was bad enough live I don’t need to see it again 😏.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • DarrenMorgan Darren (@DarrenMorgan) reported from Washington, England

    @BootneckShuffle @O2 @EE Never had a problem with O2 untill I switched my DD date. They're hopeless

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • _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

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

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

  • 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.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @O2 I'll try one of these out. I've never had this problem before so hopefully it was just a one off mishap.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Deesho92 Deesho (@Deesho92) reported

    Dear @o2 I am so pleased to say my contact with you guys is over. I can officially say you guys are the most horrible network provider I have ever come across. #quicktip never use o2

  • b4rtw Bart W (@b4rtw) reported

    There is coverage by @O2 at @Gatwick_Airport but the network is incredibly slow, has numerous dead spots and/or doesn't work at all. Very frustrating.

  • CBordewey Charlotte Bordewey (@CBordewey) reported

    @O2 I need someone to deal with a payment I physically cannot make as nobody is ever available on the phone. It says you'll text me a number but never do. I'm at a loss as to how I can sort this. I've called daily since the start of the month

  • dhlexpressuk DHL Express UK (@dhlexpressuk) reported

    @davidluxton99 @O2 I'm ever so sorry to hear about this delivery issue David, please DM me the tracking number so I can help. Kind regards, Amrick

  • fierce_unicorn 🦄 (@fierce_unicorn) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @O2 merlin pass code is not working, can you help?

  • Uliefay Juliefay (@Uliefay) reported

    @O2 Hi I’ve tried to link my iWatch with my new SIM O2 contract. I’ve been told to wait 72 hours for a call back. I’ve seen on the forum  @O2Lisa + @pgn fixed it for someone else ‘The existing esim on the watch needed to be reset by O2 on their side’ Can you help me too please?

  • ElDingoMartin El Dingo (@ElDingoMartin) reported

    @O2 we got a great deal SIM only but had to cancel as our Samsung S8 is locked when I put O2 SIM in. Your customer services couldn't help and nor can @VodafoneUK. I've done some research and apparently we need a Master Code and PUK. Voda can only give me the PUK. Can you help?

  • Sophiae007 Sophia Mackie Ellis (@Sophiae007) reported

    @O2 I have zero reception and have done all morning. I cant make or receive any calls. 4G dropping in and out. I've had no info of problems in my area and I can't check using my phone. Any help please?

  • Gallovidian Anthony Duncalf (@Gallovidian) reported

    @O2 Yes have done that - apparently problems with local mast and your engineers MAY be on to the problem already. Please send bread and milk in the meanwhile.
