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

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

    @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

    @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!

    @O2 website and app not working 😕

    @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.

    @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.

    I am hoping that @O2 sort out their barring problem as I am not used to sending passive aggressive tweets @o2

  • 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.

  • 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

  • LuckyTony72
    Lucky Tony (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

    @O2 Got a call bar today. Absolutely shoddy customer service. Also I've waited a minimum of 20 minutes to speak to your alleged customer service agents who appear to be utterly inept to make a simple change.

  • 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.

    @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

  • scoobyhugh8
    Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 how can your service be so poor in a city centre.

  • LuckyTony72
    🎃 🎃 Lucky Tony 🎃 🎃 (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

    @O2 asked for a SIMPLE change to be made in August and 5 phonecalls later you still can't get it right! Customer service is a joke!!!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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

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

    @O2 yall have locked my account for 2 months and have told me 5 working days to fix the issue the past 4 times I have called. What is your team doing please? 😡

  • Starlet611
    Katie W (@Starlet611) reported

    I love how @O2 brag on their adverts about their great service yet I spend my life waiting for my ‘4G’ to work because you can’t be bothered to provide decent service. What am I paying for??

  • tomkentuk
    Tom Kent (@tomkentuk) reported

    @andrewsdenham @Joff_L @O2 They must’ve changed something, have done that for years. Tbh, might move anyway - service is terrible by me - though they still have the best European coverage.

  • itconnectuk
    IT Connect (@itconnectuk) reported

    @O2 Hi, need help with a phone unlocking, it’s currently on O2 but would like it unlocked, free of charge due to ofcom regulations, could someone assist if I provide the IMEI?

  • TapperJosephine
    Josephine (Josie) Tapper (@TapperJosephine) reported

    @O2 almost a month without data inside my home due to a mast issue. It’s been down at least 6 months out of the last 12. Your coverage is also non-existent in Exeter. It’s 2026 for goodness sake.

  • Andypled

    @O2 trying to upgrade my payg sim only deal. But can't understand why I am getting a worse deal than a new customer. Can someone advise?

  • lilith15016
    Lilith Tuylor (@lilith15016) reported

    @O2 'Sorry you feel that way' is a dismissal, and shows that O2 have no real interest in customer care. IF O2 introduce real customer care, let me know. I will not be waiting.

  • filmAlive
    Andrew Walker (@filmAlive) reported

    @O2 got a new Pay as you go SIM card. It's not expired and my phone shows a signal, but when I register the number so I can then top up etc the verification codes aren't coming through. Any advise?

    @O2 @happystokey The merger combined O2's mobile network with Virgin Media's broadband business to create a major integrated communications provider in the UK." Must be nice to.earn so much from pensioners. £60 a month for a 2 year old phone.
