    Hey @O2! 👋👋👋 You are really starting to make me angry. Why is my internet connection very slow, even when on 4G. I cannot deal with the pausing videos, apps and webpages not loading. Sort it out!

    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

    @O2 Hi. I’ve left O2 in September when my contract expired and switched to another provider. I was billed in September in error and I spoke to someone who refunded the difference from when my contract expired. I have today received a debt recovery letter???? Can someone help!

    @O2 I’m in Newcastle for the weekend and could hardly get a service, keeping jumping from 1 bar on 5G onto 3G, couldn’t get into social media or online due to it buffering. What a waste of time moving to you from EE

    @O2 I need to cancel 2 expired phone contracts on my account before my new o2 phone contracts become active but can't get to use the contact o2 online chat. Can you sort this for me?

    @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
    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.

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

    @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!!!

  • 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 !!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • JonnaAnderson
    Jonathan Anderson (@JonnaAnderson) reported from Beamish, England

    @O2 I’m having issues with my calls connecting at the moment - every time someone is calling me when I’m answering the call is failing. I’m having to use WhatsApp to make and receive calls! Any idea how I can fix it?

  • 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

    @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

    @LukeSwinden @O2 I’m in the same battle with them. I claim they never heard of it. Can’t block that number. It’s not their fault. I signed up. I didn’t. Never heard of that before. I think @O2 sold my number or something. Shady

    @O2 do NOT use O2!!! I have tried calling them to resolve and old dispute and so far I’ve been put on hold forever or the 2nd time they said please hold and hung up on me! They’ve applied a charge for a dispute I raised before I ditched them for dire service and still awful

  • RonnieStidolph
    Ron Stidolph (@RonnieStidolph) reported

    @O2 Response appreciated, but its too late 4 failed attempts to transfer old number to O2, resulting in 6 hrs+ in online chats & 2 complaints (complaints that your chat operators raised, not me) & a cancelled contract within 14 days of a cooling period & a lost customer. Very poor.

  • Dougie_W79
    Dougie (@Dougie_W79) reported

    @O2 any chance someone can take ownership and unlock My MyO2 app please? Been over 10 days now and that was the timescale given to fix the issue. Not acceptable anymore
