    @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.

    @O2 I’m really not happy with my phone contract it’s far to expensive would like to cancel free of charge !!!!! Fed up of this bad customer service

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

    @O2 and can’t even login to my o2 account online to pay it that way

  • 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?

    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!

    Does anyone use @vodafone in the Northumberland area? Is it any good? I'm currently on @O2 but looking to switch networks as O2 are being extremely greedy with large price hikes on their already expensive network.

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

  • 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.

    @O2 website and app not working 😕

  • 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 😡

  • 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

  • stobbsmeister
    Paddy (@stobbsmeister) reported from Seaham, England

    @ThreeUK counting down the days until I'm able to leave. I've overlooked the poor CS and data dead spots however the reintroduction of roaming charges (after banging the go roam drum for years) is the final straw. I'm sure I won't be the first or the last to jump to @O2

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

    I’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.

  • 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.

    Is @O2 #priority still down after @peterkay_co_uk broke it???

    @O2 Hey i wounded if you can help me I have a contact with o2 but I was unable to pay my bill last month I spoke to you on fone and told you I would pay you on 14th of January as I was in hospital but I’ve only got today and when I’ve went to pay it I can’t my fone now completely off

  • Richard_Y1

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

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

    @lynne_lil_devil @O2 I’ve had the same issue and no one can help and I’ve topped up again and still nothing it’s just annoying now

  • DominyRichard
    Richard Dominy (@DominyRichard) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Deployment of cell site masts is a real problem for the networks. Many councils refuse planning because of local opposition and pressure groups. In addition the forced swap out from Chinese telco equipment massively delayed expansion of the networks. UK is now 5yrs behind.

  • StockwoodCap
    Gareth (@StockwoodCap) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Stuck for 2 hours on the M2 yesterday without moving. I was in a signal black spot so I could barely make a call and had no data… This was on the M2 in Kent. It’s hardly the middle of nowhere.

    @jibbajabbba @kokeshimum @O2 EE has 5g where I live, yet videos end up with the 'loading wheel of death' regularly.... The UK infrastructure across the board is **** compared to many other countries

  • romeocln
    CRoM (@romeocln) reported

    I moved from @ThreeUK to @O2 and nothing has improved on signal. Blind spots alll over the places. What I really don't get why you don't get anything on 4 antena bars? And could be anywhere in London

  • mimisunshine02
    mimi ☀️ (@mimisunshine02) reported

    @TeamAriana @O2 Team Ariana, please help me. I didn't get a ticket for the London concerts, and resale tickets are very expensive. I am a huge fan from France and my heart is broken.

  • thealexbear
    Alex Wheatley (@thealexbear) reported

    @TomTalksCars @O2 I agree. Im on giffgaff which uses o2. Signal is shocking in many places.

  • GregGeyer2
    Greg Geyer (@GregGeyer2) reported

    @savinggracey @O2 That's unacceptable. O2 needs to step up their customer service.

  • willmcgugan
    Will McGugan (@willmcgugan) reported

    So @O2 had to be one of the most incompetent mobile providers out there. I’m unable to top up. Their app breaks with cryptic errors. I’m unable to change plans as the change tariff link breaks with “too many redirects”. I can create a new plan, but that won’t let me keep my number. O2 customer services, don’t bother replying. There’s nothing you could do to salvage your reputation in my eyes.

    One reason I miss working for @O2 which i never thought till now is when samsung release new tech, cos I loved seeing it first!!!
