  • carol_dd6 Carol Dickinson (@carol_dd6) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 I keep getting texts off you, rang the number to stop them but it’s not available. I’m not with O2 anymore so want them to stop now. Help 😮

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

  • MrRichAnderson Richard Anderson (@MrRichAnderson) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @O2 Terrible customer service, AGAIN. Promised a call on Monday morning. Came whilst I was out of reception (No surprise there!) Voicemail left saying you would try again. Nothing all week. Another reason not to actually upgrade and to leave O2.

  • gav_wallace1 Gavin Wallace (@gav_wallace1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    2/2 @O2 I’m currently sat at Wolverhampton station and I have 1 bar or 4G in what is a major UK city. Absolutely nonsense that these problems continue to happen. I thought it was bad enough not getting full 4G in my house in Kilmarnock but this is just amateur hour at its finiest

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Not been as bad today. Also had software update. May pop into a O2 shop at the weekend.

  • harryharrad HH (@harryharrad) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK why is #skymobile signal so rubbish at weekends, you give free data and then the service levels drop! #poorservice won't be renewing with you next year! @O2 that's goes for you too! #rubbish!

  • ppmbecky ✨Becky Higgins✨ (@ppmbecky) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 great service from Sarah and Matt in the Walsall store this morning..... #customerservice #asset toteam #safariissuesorted #qustodiotheproblem

  • PaulasJewellery Paula (@PaulasJewellery) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 is there a issue with the service this afternoon cuz I can't add a bolt on.

  • GriffPlays Griff™ in NYC 🗽 (@GriffPlays) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I think I made 2 or 3 phone calls all week and no, I had to rely on wifi because the data connection was so poor! 💸

  • StuartCollett Stuart Collett (@StuartCollett) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    So far today: @NOWTV failed our change from @bt_uk yesterday so no broadband. @O2 signal is poor so phones are no use & our @FreeviewTV signal is terrible. So no internet, data, @NOWTV, or @FreeviewTV. Oh, and a child needs to revise online for exams on Monday. Fantastic.

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    The only reason I would be an @O2 customer

  • Y2JONAKERFELDT Jonathan Deavs (@Y2JONAKERFELDT) reported from Redditch, England

    @O2 Hi. I’m thinking of upgrading this month to an iPhone XR 128 GB, or an iPhone X 256 GB. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years. Could you let me know the very best price based on 1 GB or 3 GB data over 36 months. Happy to DM any additional info.

  • BorisJWorrall Boris Worrall (@BorisJWorrall) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Great customer service @O2 sorting refund on defunct mobile contract, quick, friendly and no hassle 👍✅

  • Massontweet Iain L Masson - Musician (@Massontweet) reported from Birmingham, England

    @natashas_notes @O2 @cafenero @O2Priority It’s not possible in Birmingham to get one after 3pm on Tue or Wed any more. Until last month we always got one every Wednesday at tea time if we wanted (sold out Tuesdays) but now they sell out on both days by 3pm. There’s no reason to be with @O2 now - no phone signal /coffee.

  • msetchell Matt (@msetchell) reported from Redditch, England

    Thanks to Paul @SkyUK who responded to my tweet, replied and then called me, I’ve just got 2 x 10GB sim only deals for a total of £26pm - saving me £15pm verses @o2 and giving James 10x data. And we can roll it over. @o2 just replied saying they couldn’t help!

  • TeeKhan84 Tariq Khan (@TeeKhan84) reported from Birmingham, England

    Absolutely awful customer service from Awais at @O2 call centre. Takes 5 days to get an unlock code so that I can use my phone on another network and my o2 line finishes tomorrow! @Ofcom @WhichUK manager was in a 'meeting' and will get back to me by 9pm tonight. #stayawayfromo2

  • MarkCook3rgj Mark cook (@MarkCook3rgj) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Absolutely poor service in Skegness this weekend @O2

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @jameseonline @O2 There maybe plenty of good freebies and offers with priority. Just that o2 signal is shocking where I live anyway and this is what I can a priority when choosing mobile network. Why have a mobile that you can't use!

  • Georgekafetzis George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Birmingham, England

    The guys at @O2 store lower #bullring are rude. We have as a family 5 contracts and there is a way to speak to customers. Sales adviser even manger thought it was ok. Very rude here. Will go top floor from now on.

  • GriffPlays Griff™ in NYC 🗽 (@GriffPlays) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 No I'm home now. I tried that but after several attempts of waiting 10 minutes to find a new network manually, I gave up.

  • dannyshwing92 Danny (@dannyshwing92) reported

    @O2 Gonna do it again soon, cos I never get any signal on my phone. Going down the pan..

  • sparrowlegs77 Phil Hogan💙 (@sparrowlegs77) reported

    @O2 live chat has excelled themselves today. Trying to get help to return a phone which won't power on. Asking me to confirm a code that has been sent to the number is a bit hard to do. #AtrociousService

  • DeanMcmorrow2 Dean Mcmorrow 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇪🇦 (@DeanMcmorrow2) reported

    @O2 why haven’t you released the hold on my refund yet? You said it would happen last Thursday. It’s now Tuesday!! Very very very poor service since you charged me three times for my upgrade…£861.54 you’ve withheld. I need to pay bills

  • philroue10 Ya Ma's Athletic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@philroue10) reported

    @O2 I will do if the coverage or the mast near me is still broke 15 months on I think I mite coz network is crap

  • Buster_comedy Buster (@Buster_comedy) reported

  • dardene11es Rita Adams (@dardene11es) reported

    @O2 Worst customer service ever. Still waiting for a response 8 1/2 hours later

  • essexwriter Lauren John (@essexwriter) reported

    @O2 Nope never smashed screen, have smashed the protector on top though... 🙈

  • AndrewFishy1 Andrew Fishburn (@AndrewFishy1) reported

    I have a joke for you: what do you call a network that won’t accept you? @O2, because they refer you to a credit check team for no reason, you wait a week and no one gets back to you

  • DBS050106 David Surtees (@DBS050106) reported

    @O2 That’s what your trying to do, it’s there in black and white. Customer service in DMs not listening

  • Buster_comedy Buster (@Buster_comedy) reported

    @O2 Still no signal in Burnham on Sea!!! Be helpful to know what’s happening?
