    @O2 hi we ever getting a fix for postcodes WS14 and WV14 terrible phone signal and data just doesn't connect mentioned in December and according to your app it would be fixed in 2 weeks ?! 4months later still exactly the same

  • paulberry2303 Paul Berry (@paulberry2303) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @O2 I have today received another letter telling me the phone is blocked. I don’t have an O2 phone. I have never had an O2 phone. I don’t owe any money. I know you are looking at it but surely you can put a block on correspondence while you do?

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Device is damaged. Your website and app are as clear as mud about repairs and replacements. I'm on hold waiting for an advisor to be available (20 minutes elapsed). Can you help me out?

  • DirtySurti 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 !

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

  • Hannahbreenx han (@Hannahbreenx) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    @O2 I haven’t had any signal in my own home for 2 weeks and when I check online it says there won’t be an update until the 10th of June. How is that acceptable for a paying customer? I’ve missed an extremely important medical call back because they can’t get through to me

  • IyaazMatadar Iyaaz Matadar (@IyaazMatadar) reported from Redditch, England

    Anyone on @O2 having problems sending @WhatsApp messages?

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🥚 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    I’ve just been in to the @O2 store to get a new sim, fantastic service in store, however, I was shocked to find my contract has gone up £6 since October? How does that work??

  • adam0604 Adam Waterhouse (@adam0604) reported from Halesowen, England

    Yo why is @O2 4G network coverage so garbish lately? Sort your **** out man, I don't pay for a 1 bar signal wherever I go!

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Hi @O2 I've tried to call about a technical problem (more a frustration) regarding voicemail. Called a couple of times last week, where messages advises you were busy. Now the message says, 'Use the website' and then hangs up. Any suggestions?

  • StevoJones1984 Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.

  • amanmarway batgirl (@amanmarway) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 have still not processed a refund from March/April (despite being promised at the time I wouldn’t even be overcharged and my account had already been credited) Two weeks ago I was told payment would be with me in 5 days but I’m chasing ONCE AGAIN Atrocious customer service

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    Help @O2 - I want to upgrade to the Huawei P30 Pro but it says it's not in stock. Will it ever be or can we not get Huawei anymore?

  • Crystalcraftand Crystalcraft Andy (@Crystalcraftand) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 so Im looking to upgrade my phone. Problem is, the elements of my pay monthly plan are now split and out of sync. Virgin Handset is now mine but 20 months left on O2 airtime plan.  I cant cancel my O2 plan in order to start again (it wont let me change tariffs for 20 months)

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM

  • Tracey_Devina Tracey_Devina (@Tracey_Devina) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 I’m at home for the next 5+ days with covid, my data’s gone, I followed up a text I received to say up my data… it starts on Friday - what’s the actual point. Can you help now, when it matters?!

  • c_booth1990 Chris Booth (@c_booth1990) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 please can you get the signal sorted in The Walsall area West Midlands the signal is horrendous keeps dropping out! Thanks

  • hijabiexplorer Mimii Hatun |Y| aka Ms Begum (@hijabiexplorer) reported from Birmingham, England

    Typical of @o2 for not cancelling my line when I a called in during the cooling off period to cancel the contract. #Thieves

  • berniebaps101 ҍҽɾղíҽҍɑԹՏ ♏ (@berniebaps101) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I have £45 left to pay on my device, if I pay that can I then cancel the contract as I don't use the sim?

  • matthew_74 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.

  • PhoebeF18913641 Phoebe Fox (@PhoebeF18913641) reported

    @O2 told by your online chat that my problem could only be solved by phoning 202, who told me they couldn’t help with anything until after 4pm because of a system outage, was told to call back later… is this customer service?

  • hazeljeffrey Hazel Jeffrey (@hazeljeffrey) reported

    @O2 just had a call from someone claiming to be from you guys, asking me if I was happy with the service then telling me they were giving me 40% off my bills because I always pay on time - while on the phone I received a one time security code, which I did not request!

  • NickMcC57931895 Nick McConnell (@NickMcC57931895) reported

    Hey @O2 how comes as a customer of over 30+ Years when I ring up to get a new sim-only deal you cant even offer me a deal as good as the one I got for my fiancé the other week as a new customer? Absolutely s**t customer service and especially when you have a long term customer!

  • akaBigLash Jay 🎸🎸🎶🎶🤘🤘 (@akaBigLash) reported

    @SkyeWolf84 @O2 Faceless multinationals, not giving a **** about the consumer since the dawn of time 😡

  • pm1972 Tricia mcgrath gray (@pm1972) reported

    @O2 have sent yo a DM have checked my bills an on two of our number we are been charge for disney plus yet have never taken out this extra

  • rhianna_joseph Rhianna Joseph #PrayForDemi ❤️ (@rhianna_joseph) reported

    @eleanorchar_ @O2 @eleanorchar_ you need to speak to retentions and request an PAC code if you want to keep the number but on a different network or an 30 days notice cancellation if you don’t want the mobile number anymore or request to move to O2 Pay & Go.

  • sabrinajaine Sabrina ✨ (@sabrinajaine) reported

    @O2 Hi, I'm abroad and can't access my voicemail, it just rings then cuts off. Any help?

  • Housleyjeive Duncan Housley-Jeive (@Housleyjeive) reported

    @DomBamberYSJSU @O2 Couldn’t agree more, the increase coupled with the terrible signal in very urban places… much more to worry about

  • bitgit Steve Fx ©2023♿ (@bitgit) reported

    @SteveBrooks13 I'm guessing you're not getting stung on pay-and-go tariffs for phoning a mobile on a different network (I get a huge surcharge from @o2 if I call a number on a different network) #wato

  • tomdearie Tom Dearie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@tomdearie) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 So I pay you money for a service you ‘might’ provide me? It’s the whole of the city in Portsmouth that’s awful. Everywhere in the city
