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

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • 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.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 I can’t login into my o2 app, it says I might be a bee customer and to wait 48 hours but I’ve been a member for years 🤔 it’s just randomly started doing this

  • ScottSChristie Scott Christie (@ScottSChristie) reported from Whitley Bay, England

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

  • 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

  • SgawShaw Muriel Sgaw (@SgawShaw) reported from Seaham, England

    @O2 @EleanorRylance And sack the poor employee?

  • 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!

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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?

  • 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.

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

    @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

  • 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.

  • Richard_Y1 Richard (@Richard_Y1) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2, any particular reason why signal for mobile data is so poor/pretty much non-existent in the NE30 area?

  • 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.

  • doc_drops Andros 👾👾👾 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 my sim stopped working, I can’t ring 202, can’t go to your shops and your live chat is down. Please help

  • 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!!!

  • 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 😡

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • OllyFT Oliver Fytche-Taylor (@OllyFT) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @O2 @giffgaff Yes, they match exactly. This has been checked by me, by two separate Cust serves advisors and then by the online sales team. They couldnt see a problem so promised call back. All lied, nobody tried to call which is why I had to contact you again, and go through it a 2nd time.

  • OllyFT Oliver Fytche-Taylor (@OllyFT) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @O2 @giffgaff But clearly the offers are useless to me if I can't access them?!? Seeing them on the website makes it worse when they are great offers but I'm prevented from taking them! It was your sales team that should've called me, I made a complaint but it has still made no difference.

  • kirtig321 Kirti Ganatra (@kirtig321) reported

    1.5 hours on the phone to @O2 and still not through to someone who is competent enough to fix the issue o2 created by moving me onto tariff I did not agree to

  • up_the_north Leigh (@up_the_north) reported

    @O2 hello, I’ve came back to O2 from @giffgaff and after 5 phone calls, 2 PAC codes and numerous promises my old number would be ported over….nothing has happened! It’s been a fortnight now, what is going on? It’s ridiculous customer service

  • RuthOHara11 Ruth O'Hara (@RuthOHara11) reported

    Can someone @O2 please get in touch. I have been trying all week to contact customer support...live chat doesn't work, phone 202, still waiting...DM...doesn't send. Bloody disgrace..and it is 2023 and my phone can't even send a text message..#useless #Recommendations?

  • HAHarveyAuthor HollyAHarvey Author (@HAHarveyAuthor) reported

    @O2 hi - got a replacement SIM and it didn't stop my call drop out issue. Anything else I can try please?

  • sophieclemens_x Sophie Clemens✨💋 (@sophieclemens_x) reported

    Poor customer service making people wait hours then keep transferring them to others who don’t know & cutting you off on purpose multiple times. Poor excuse of a company. Will no longer be an @O2 customer after this having been with you for more than 10 years. Disgrace

  • badassscotsman BigYin (@badassscotsman) reported

    WELCOME TO @O2 where DM,S NEVER ANSWERED. Phone calls never answered or they hang up on you and divert your call to @virginmedia????. They provided you with the same copy@paste excuses...

  • paul_trombone Paul Emmett (@paul_trombone) reported

    Really helpful that @O2 has been texting my account info to a different number and when I don’t respond they block my service, and moan at me when I call support! Cheers, that’s helpful!

  • lizzyfmant Liz Vine (@lizzyfmant) reported

    @O2 what does my husband have to do to get his order finalised so he can receive his new phone? His My o2 account won’t activate so the order can’t complete but after numerous emails to you & a promised callback, he’s still waiting. Perhaps @EE or @Vodaphone4 would like to help?
