Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I think my mom had the same text the other day. So had to help her by marking as spam and blocking it.
-
Chris Sammons (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I appreciate theres obviously a serious issue, I’ve never known signal to be down for so long at one time. There needs to be a conversation at some stage regarding a substantial reimbursement on this months tariff, because to not have any signal whatsoever for this long is a pain

Teg Singh (@MrTegSingh) reported from Wolverhampton, England@wolvesclaire @O2 Never been so angry been on the phone since 8.30 cut off 3 times and been transferred to so many different departments. 😡😡😡😡
-
Samantha Thompson (@crazysamsam) reported from Walsall Wood, EnglandYour customer service has been awful at this difficult time @O2. We had to call your bereavement department so many times to sort out the bill you said you’d wave, and this has caused us much stress and anxiety. To then contact us again on FATHER’S DAY is extremely cruel.
-
Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 Hi, I completely appreciate the guidance there but, no, it doesn't. When I got through three weeks ago, your colleague was going to escalate my query. I never got the promised call back, hence me trying more recently.

-
M🍏Cintosh (@MCintosh1954) reportedNetwork service from @O2 has fallen dramatically over the last few months. It's absolutely appalling in central London. Once my contract expires I'm off. Unfortunately I still have a year and a half left and they've said it'll cost over £234 to break the contract. 😡
-
john (@jhargie4) reported@o2 @virginmedia CEO LUTZ SCHUELER seems rather that sending the DEADLOCK letter your team actually want to CANCEL my COMPLAINT!!!!
-
Sarah H (@SarahWM45) reported@O2 absolute joke. Stringing me along, promising to call. Two weeks later. No call. Apparently that’s my fault, they were waiting on me. (They’re not). They are unable to answer a simple question. Customer service v stressful to deal with. @MartinSLewis
-
Sean Barrett (@SeanRBarrett) reported@monzo Thanks, I tried the chat option but it was just the AI assistant that wasn’t much help. Have since googled it and see you’re using the O2 network. Unfortunately in the 6yrs since I left @O2 they’ve still not brought 5G to west wales.! Which is a deal breaker.
-
Pabs (@Abdabz) reported@TakeThatClouds @O2 Wasn't like that back when I worked there as a customer service process manager... @O2 You can hire me again for quadruple what you paid me last time and I'll fix this 👍
-
JF 🇩🇲 (@fevrier_justin) reported@O2 I think our 20 year relationship is due to end now. 🥃 service is in the floor
-
Nilesh Thanki (@NileshGThanki) reportedLooking for resolution from @O2 been having ongoing signal and network problems since joining in December 2025. Live in EN1, Enfield. Complaint after complaint and still no resolution. Why pay for a service if we are not receiving it. Can’t make basic calls in our own home!
-
Sparky (@Sparkyisared) reported@SteveJoyce14 @O2 @TheGillsFC It’s annoying mate our broadband is crap as well so both options out the window lol 🙄 you wouldn’t think it’s 2026 🤔
-
Mark Blackmore (@megatronman) reported@O2 I've been waiting for a replacement refurbished iPhone 16e since 10 July. Your agent says a complaint was raised 25 July, but I was never notified. If the exact model is unavailable, why not offer an alternative?
-
