-
Ian (@NTF_Ian) reported from Dunston, EnglandHey @O2 have been waiting almost two hours now to collect my new phone from your metrocentre store. This is not ideal customer service.
-
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.

Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@O2 how can your service be so poor in a city centre.

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.
-
🎃👻💀🙀🧟♂️ #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.
