    Your 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.

    @O2 I think my mom had the same text the other day. So had to help her by marking as spam and blocking it.

  • julietobin1 Butchersdog1 (@julietobin1) reported

    @O2 This is impossible… to have a network that has poor service even in my own house is unacceptable for a day never mind nine months .. & a help line that cuts you off

  • stonerbeagle stonerbeagle (@stonerbeagle) reported

    @O2 what’s going on in RH6? Have had no @virginmedia broadband since yesterday morning and your network also playing up. Just tried ringing you and minimum 1 hour wait then got cut off. What a joke! #staybetterconnected not. Virgin @ o2 supposed to be better?

  • Dylanjibmonkey Dylan Robinson (@Dylanjibmonkey) reported

    @sue_1999 @coggie99 @O2 Network coverage in the North West of England seems to be a big ask too. I can't receive or make a call in my house, even with wifi calling.

  • sahirnazir1 Sahir Nazir (@sahirnazir1) reported

    @O2 can’t get no one on the phone. Signal always low. Family emergency right now. Please sort this.

  • Glorylynn83 GloryLynn (@Glorylynn83) reported

    @O2 your marketing and email tool appears to be broken. I had a case logged with you guys about you incorrectly using an email address I have not had associated with your systems for almost a year. Everything has been great for 6 months until yesterday/today, can DM details

  • camjeffers camjeffers (@camjeffers) reported

    @O2 o2 customer service is shite!

  • thomas6277 Leighton Thomas (@thomas6277) reported

    @O2 after 18 calls lasting over 2 hours trying to get O2 staff to do what they said they were going to do, I raised a complaint about staff lies and poor service only to find that the complaint handler started lying to me! Well done O2!

  • PaulJamesSmith4 Paul James Smith (@PaulJamesSmith4) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia Showed yourselves up for the complete amateurs you are. Your mobile network is every bit as useless.

  • tbone4105 T-Bone4105 (@tbone4105) reported

    @O2 I want to pay off my handset and the Myo2 app tells me to I have to ring up, when ringing up the automated voice tells me to go onto the app then cuts off, I’m going round in circles! Help?
