Ketan Surti (@DirtySurti) reported from Dickens Heath, England@O2 your service is terrible and I haven't even fully moved over from my current provider. Managed to move 2 sims across but struggling with two more. Keep getting a declined, then your customer service team call saying can see incomplete order but then cut me off !
-
Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England@O2 really disappointed with the service I’m getting from O2. Poor coverage, dropped calls, slow texts, no internet, been like this for 5 months, No sign of a fix, difficult call centre staff hide behind “policy” to avoid being helpful. If you need a new provider - Avoid O2

-
Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, EnglandSeems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.
-
Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England@O2 You’re having a laugh !! Can’t get a decent signal at home - let alone elsewhere.
-

Quantum Infinite Seer Nikota888 (@NikotaLimitless) reported@O2 So went to o2 as my phone pin would not go into the phone and open had the phone for some time. No issues before. This is what unfolded I have an account with you and my phone would not allow me to put in my pin number so took the phone to hasting branch, served by a guy called Daniel to get a new sim, with the same number but the same problem arrived. I brought the phone off you a few years back he told me to contact Samsung you are only the provider he gave me a number he really was of no help and the other thing. I showed him my passport as id and started to put my passport info into the system this was without my permission. Do you want to explain why this unfolded this with my personal info. when you have my details on your system ???? Very Very disturbed by it all as you are provider's for a service I buy a phone off you but cannot get my phone sorted when something is wrong. If that is the case you should not be selling phones you cannot sort out or send away to fix the problem. serservice permission. I was asked to show proof of id not submit my passport info into your system. 3:58 PM

Niamh Skinner (@niamhskinner) reported@O2 😭😭😭 this is still not answering my question! I’m close to pulling my hair out now!! Can someone please read my tweets and example and confirm if I WOULD or WOULD NOT get satellite signal in that situation?!
-
emze (@KerZE87) reported@Mr__J_J @O2 That’s disgusting!!! I’d definitely look elsewhere that’s appalling customer service. They’ve been “fixing” a mast near me for weeks, keep giving completion dates and it’s never fixed and then they send out new alerts with new completion dates and again never fixed. I’m not asking for a complete refund just money off my bills bc why tf am I paying £73 a month for no service @O2
-
I.C (@IanCockerill2) reported@O2 has anyone else ever had a promise that O2 would call to sort out a serious mistake on their part, only for them not to call at all? Clear lack of customer service response demands another complaint! This company wouldn’t know customer service practice if it fell on its head!
-
Naomi Milward (@naomimilward41) reported@O2 Priority app still down re Blue Mondays - are you doing this to all your customers on purpose so you save money?! Please sort it out! #CustomerExperience
-
Shana Hendry (@Happyengland79) reported@O2 are ignoring customers! Their profits took a dive last year so you'd think they'd treat us customers better as to stop it continuing into 2026! Mast not worked properly in over a year and no refunds paid out! A big company that can't afford to pay it's debts. Embarrassing!

Kirsty (@bezerinatour) reported@redshellybelly2 @O2 Im having the same issue

BROMAR (@21BROMAR) reported@O2 biggest waste of time you guys are - your complaints team are terrible you’ve made so many mistakes - misinformed me on my insurance - anyone with o2 ask them to check t&c’s guarantee they don’t actually know about their services - btw I’m an ex employee of @O2
