  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Dan05858044 Dan (@Dan05858044) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @O2 literally tried for 3 days to get through to you to see if my address change had gone through. 3 f*cking days. What a heap of crap this service is.

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

    Honestly what does @O2 expect selling pre sale Beyoncé tickets website down again! Did they not learn from the Peter Kay debacle

  • MattKeena 🏳️‍🌈Matt Keena🏳️‍🌈 (@MattKeena) reported from East Rainton, England

    @ODEONCinemas hello, I have a voucher code from @O2 priority for a free cinema ticket on 9th May but it’s keep saying “there was a problem adding the voucher” when I put it into the odeon app

  • ScottD_DJMS Scott Dixon (@ScottD_DJMS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @o2 I’ve claimed an Odeon code today on the @O2PriorityUK app but the cinema website is saying that the code is incorrect. Please help

  • fredspoon Philip (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @O2 could someone help?

  • 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.

  • HannahColley Hannah (@HannahColley) reported from Gateshead, England

    Imagine being given exclusive access to sell presale Beyoncé tickets and your app is so bad it crashes for the whole UK. Howay @O2

  • 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?

  • TommyWinter23 Tommy Winter (@TommyWinter23) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @O2 hello. Do you have a link for the “keep my number” form. Website isn’t helping and store said they couldn’t help as already had the SIM card

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

    @O2 is it the normal that I STILL can’t get onto my priority app after it being down for maintenance??

  • 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

  • rohitf RohitF (@rohitf) reported

    @MisterGreenwich @O2 I am on 3. Do get bars in Eltham on the high street. But guess what it's a cheap thrills. The only time it came in super handy was for a conference call I had to take in my car. Apart from that, today 5G is a solution looking for a problem. In a few years though...

  • JoshtJax Jax Teller (@JoshtJax) reported

    @O2 I also tried on my o2 but because it’s swapped over to my new phone and there’s no mobile signal I can’t receive the text message to confirm it’s me

  • r_c_durrant Robert Durrant (@r_c_durrant) reported

    @O2 Do you ever answer the phone?! I'm stuck for ever enduring stupid jangles in the 'O2 queue' to which a TalkTalkMobile advisor has consigned me, waiting to give you my PAC & transfer to O2 package I've agreed with him. Surely there's a better way than keeping me on the phone??

  • dubaimum17 dubaimum17 (@dubaimum17) reported

    At @O2 is it standard practice for your staff to put the phone down on customers just because I do not want an upgrade ? @O2 #sorude #nocustomerserviceskills #o2phones

  • JaanuBhatt jaanu bhatt (@JaanuBhatt) reported

    I m in uk.. n I m using the o2 network from the 4 months.. and I want to take my another device with that... but they said always like ur credit check is declined but I checked my credit score online n it’s good .. so why it’s like that..????? I want a answer.. Plss @O2

  • SamBr91 Samantha Brierley (@SamBr91) reported

    @O2 I have been a customer for 20 years...my question is now why? What do I get for being a loyal customer spending £15 per month for 20 years?

  • jessthorp jt🇪🇺💙🟨🟥#gtto (@jessthorp) reported

    @TomHeath4 @O2 Oh ****** that's a long time isn't it! Not great customer service, I did the same with the huawei p30 Pro when it was launched and I recieved the watch in a week 😬

  • manx_maid Stephanie Brooke (@manx_maid) reported

    No signal from 9pm @O2 so went to bed in disgust at 10pm. This has been happening for 2 weeks now in SCumbria ; you should give 4 free days to make up for it

  • laurentphotog Lauren Towner (@laurentphotog) reported

    @O2 Hi I just had a call from 0330 220 4401 from the “o2 promotions department”, saying if I pay my bill on time you’ll give me a 40% discount? I put the phone down on her

  • HiThisIsJoely joely (@HiThisIsJoely) reported

    @O2 I’m having issues with my iPhone 8+ back camera and torch not working. Is this an issue you guys can assist with or an issue I need to contact Apple for?
