    Hey @O2! 👋👋👋 You are really starting to make me angry. Why is my internet connection very slow, even when on 4G. I cannot deal withe pausing videos, apps and webpages not loading. Sort it out!

    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.

    @O2 is it the normal that I STILL can’t get onto my priority app after it being down for maintenance??

    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.

  • 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.

    @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?

  • 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!

  • doc_drops

    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

    @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 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.

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

    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.

  • _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.

    @O2 what is going on with the O2 app. Everytime I try to sign in it wants to send me an email to read verify my account, I then get an error message and now its blocking me as I've tried to get in a few to many time. IDF-12B reference given...

  • kbushnell1975
    Kieren Bushnell (@kbushnell1975) reported

    @O2 Your customer services are terrible and abject. I've been awaiting a promised call back now for over an hour, after you passed me from pillar to post to try and buy a new item. I've been with you for well over 20 years and I am very likely to cancel everything with you if you don't pull your finger out and do as you have said you were going to. Very unhappy with your service.

  • lilith15016
    Lilith Tuylor (@lilith15016) reported

    @O2 O2 refuse to accommodate customer needs re: payment dates. The data allowance is appalling for PAYG users, and the coverage is poor also. Cue the ‘sorry you feel that way‘ dismissal from O2.

  • TJM_1992
    Thomas Martin (@TJM_1992) reported

    @Stroller459 @O2 @O2 you need to look into this issue, everytime I also try to checkout I get the same message. Since you changed your website, its a nightmare to do anything on

    @1ivgracex @O2 I had so many issues with AXS to access my Louis Tomlinson tickets a few weeks ago. Was eventually told that AXS have a preference for Apple over Android - low and behold when I used my work iphone, it worked. It's absolutely ridiculous! Swore I'd never use it again. But it's OR!
