    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.

    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 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

    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 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.

    @O2 Hi! Just wondering I have damage insurance on my phone and I’m aware it covers accessories aswell, can you claim for accessories by its self or does it have to be as part of a phone claim too?

  • 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.

    @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.

  • 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.

  • MarkMowbrayNE

    @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?

  • 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.

  • ScottSChristie

    @O2 Is there an issue with signal in NE29 just now? Mine has been pretty bad for a couple of weeks now. Many Thanks.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • yallsop
    Dr Yasemin Allsop MBE (@yallsop) reported

    @G99____ @O2 No, the customer care told me they had a security breach effected many accounts. I asked why did they not inform us, she couldn't answer. Then, she said she unlocked it and I should be able to access it in 3 days. The whole thing doesn't make sense. And I phoned their number not a fake one :)
