  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @2bard @intueldonsquare @northumbriapol You're right in normal circumstances, however my phone signal keeps cutting out while @O2 are upgrading to 5G, last week a man had a seizure in front of me and I was getting repeatedly disconnected from the emergency services while trying to get an ambulance.

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

  • daveyK1234 Dave (@daveyK1234) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @Blyth_Spartans @O2 It was bad enough live I don’t need to see it again 😏.

  • 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.

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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

  • _RebeccaJT Rebecca (@_RebeccaJT) reported from Sunderland, England

    @O2 can someone please give me a response to a query, I have had an automated reply in dm which not helpful in anyway. I have tried my o2 app and it doesn’t help. I have also tried ringing o2 just keep getting cut off.

  • DarrenMorgan Darren (@DarrenMorgan) reported from Washington, England

    @BootneckShuffle @O2 @EE Never had a problem with O2 untill I switched my DD date. They're hopeless

  • simonkeenan007 simon keenan (@simonkeenan007) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 Ignore me I'm being stupid lol, now let's move alone and ignore what I said have a great day and thank you

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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!

  • petern280 peter nixon (@petern280) reported from Springwell, England

    @O2 is there an issue with the app data counter, mines said unavailable for the last few days

  • craigblundred Craig Blundred (@craigblundred) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @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.

  • 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.

  • sheilavictoriaR Sheila Robson (@sheilavictoriaR) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @O2 I'll try one of these out. I've never had this problem before so hopefully it was just a one off mishap.

  • 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.

  • RuxanaNargol Ruxana Nargolwala (@RuxanaNargol) reported from North Gosforth, England

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

  • 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

  • djlangley djlangley (@djlangley) reported

    @LutzSchueler I’m already speaking to @o2 to try and get support but I’d like to ask you why you launched Volt without proper systems to deliver or training for your staff?

  • psychomania666 PsychoMania (@psychomania666) reported

    @grshorwich @O2 I just got standard copy and paste waffle, no actual useful information. Was stood outside the O2 shop in Burnley on Saturday and the 4G was that poor I couldn't even send a photo.

  • dompyone LL (@dompyone) reported

    @O2 I’m one of those because your service does not work. Useless as it can be

  • coreyp03 Corey (@coreyp03) reported

    @O2 What’s the number to call and speak to the complaints department? Home working isn’t an excuse for poor service!

  • realirish The Irish starvation (@realirish) reported

    Anyone know the date @O2 ownership is moving to Liberty (Virgin)? This is definitely on the cards. I've noticed the massive drop in service quality since they merged.

  • JvonJvon Jvon udine (@JvonJvon) reported

    @O2 I cancelled my contract and said I wanted to keep my phone as pay as you go which the guy said he would send another sim to do the exchange and I never got the sim and till date nothing I called now for a puk code only to be told I can’t get one cause my contract is cancelled

  • EmathsUK Mark McCourt (@EmathsUK) reported

    @O2 No matter how many times I convince myself that your customer service can get no worse, you once again prove me wrong. If you're going to save money by forcing your call centre staff to work from home, perhaps give them systems that don't hang up on customers mid call.

  • realirish The Irish starvation (@realirish) reported

    @O2 Your network in Derry no longer has enough data bandwidth for users. No delivery of a new sim card either.

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 And of course on 3G you do get a reasonable signal but no actual data throughput...

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 Brace yourself for a string of promises that will never actually materialise...
