  • kathrynbaird_ Kathryn Baird (@kathrynbaird_) reported from Cramlington, England

    @O2 do you actually talk to your customers? I’ve been trying to contact you all week via the app, have called numerous times to be hung up on by an automated service and can’t get through to you at all. You’ve charged me twice for my bill & disconnected me even though I’ve paid!

  • 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

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • 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.

  • nossy1996 Gracie (@nossy1996) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • 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

  • Sami_antha83 Sami (@Sami_antha83) reported from Gateshead, England

    @O2sports @O2 #O2Surprises - would love to receive an @EnglandRugby top to support England men’s and women’s rugby. 🌹 putting the request out there in hope that one day as a loyal customer since BT Cellnet days I’ll get an #O2Surprises fingers crossed 🤞 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

  • 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.

  • SophieBur492 Sophie burlinson (@SophieBur492) reported from Sunderland, England

    For an iPhone 12 Pro meant to be 5G since November I’ve had this phone. Have i got any signs? Absolutely not. It’s now 3G @O2 bad crack.

  • adshill Adam Hill (@adshill) reported from Morpeth, England

    @O2 I’ve just been told that the only way I can use My O2 is to setup a new email account despite My O2 saying it’s the phone number that is the problem. Do I have to have two email accounts just for O2? Seems utterly absurd.

  • Leggler75 Emma (@Leggler75) reported from Gateshead, England

    My husband & I have been with @O2 for 15 years plus. Can’t believe the terrible service after using them & O2 recycle. 10 phone calls later no further forward. Kept phone & no money. Disgusting 😡

  • MattKeena 🏳️‍🌈Matt Keena🏳️‍🌈 (@MattKeena) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 are you going to reduce my bill, because the signal I’m receiving for £78 a month is shocking! Not happy

  • TaeSwiftie13x Taeler (@TaeSwiftie13x) reported

    @O2 hi your app isn’t letting me pay my phone bill. It has changed from what it was last month and have had to change passwords etc to get in and now nowhere at all to pay my phone bill. Can you help? I’m just about to go on holiday so need to pay it today

  • lindsay60300 lindsay goodson (@lindsay60300) reported

    @O2 no service in central Newcastle for 3 months. 3rd time sane issue in 3 years. Offered £100. Taking you to court

  • YoshiTheShiba2 Yoshi The Shiba (@YoshiTheShiba2) reported

    hi @O2, why must you use @DPD__UK, new phone not delivered by them and it’s somewhere in the void, your advice was it’ll be found sorted “soon” isn’t inch help either tbh

  • covenbry brian cator (@covenbry) reported

    @O2 why can't I login to my 02? It sends me a verification email which I fill in and then it sends me back to sign in but just tells me the same over and over again

  • SteadRobert Robert Stead (@SteadRobert) reported

    @O2 you’ve rung me 3 times today while I’m at work. **** OFF!!!

  • cpedreirag Carlos Pedreira (@cpedreirag) reported

    @O2 I called to complain about lack of data signal on my new phone. Now I have zero signal at all. No data, no phone, no message. Can't connect to network. Well done O2. How to NOT provide a service.

  • damienquirk Damien Quirk 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪🇺🇦 (@damienquirk) reported

    @declaa @O2 I've managed it now. You click the verification link then go back to the page you were on and it updates, eventually to a page to create a new sign in which then eventually again allows you to link your old O2 account to your new, unrequested, virgin media one

  • justicenowxxx Savannah (@justicenowxxx) reported

    @O2 no deadlock letter received after 10 calls and 3 weeks wait Never mind resolved didn’t need it after all this time and now it has been escalated to communication ombudsman

  • MulliganLynne Lynne Mulligan (@MulliganLynne) reported

    After several calls resulting in spending the best part of 3hours on the phone with @O2 because I can't access my account since the merger with virgin, I officially give up. I'm going to leave the O2 after years of being a loyal customer. Customer service is abysmal

  • Gghorse_BTC Gg 🪙 (@Gghorse_BTC) reported

    @O2 fix your ******* internet 🛜 services absolutely diabolical!!!
