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

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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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?
-
Emma (@Leggler75) reported from Gateshead, EnglandMy 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 😡

-
Raj (@engg_rky) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, EnglandAs 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

-
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.
-
Kyle Marleau (@KyleMarleau) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandI’m curious how my number for sold ... I think @O2 sold it. Was only 3 for 4 years. Zero issue. Was on o2 for 4 months and this happened. Bullshit.
-
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?

Kyle Marleau (@KyleMarleau) reported from Walker Gate, England@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

-
Dr. Pawan Jain (@drvayu) reportedHey @O2 – unbelievable Srvc. Requested eSIM via ur app last Thrsdy. Physical SIM dactvtd, eSIM never works. Chat sent me to phon support, phon sent me to store which says “eSIMs are problematic” and thn sent me away for lack of physical ID (in 2026!) @MartinSLewis
-
Kieren Bushnell (@kbushnell1975) reported@davefreeman1908 Ha...I think not. Its the fact buying an item id made so difficult and then when you try, @O2 completely messed it up on multiple occasions and then provide a customer services line which is not fit for purpose.
-
Germander Speedwell (@selfheal) reported@Chuffin_ell @O2 ...to afford the combined cost of the handset and the line rental for a large download limit, but with their help I could and amazingly they as a branch have repeated this same discount every time I have returned to upgrade my phone since. A small act of charity on their part...

MUFCHotTakes (@MUFCHotTakes) reported@o_sheilagh @arokorol @O2 You really are a stupid person. With all the facts out in the open and you continue to support a murderous regime.
