-
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
-
Teg Singh (@MrTegSingh) reported from Wolverhampton, England@O2 customer services shocking after spending nearly 3 hours on the phone to them I had to go to the wolves store and sort it out myself. Massive thank you too Jeeves who works at o2 wolves for finding me a phone reserving it at merry hill I know have my new phone

Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, Englandhey @O2, I’m trying to enter my IMEI number on the Recycle site to start the process of trade in for my new contract but it’s not accepting it? Pretty sure my iPhone is genuine after all these years haha. Could you help?
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 why does the local B90 4AJ mast go faulty EVERY week. 6 weeks in a row now, we get no service until it is repaired. You need better repair engineers as their repairs do not even last a week!!!
-
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.
-
Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England@villa4ever29 @Virgin @O2 Awful mobile coverage for the last 12 months. Shame I’m tied in to my contract for another 6 months. It’s been particularly bad the last couple of weeks. No 4G available and switching between 3G & EDGE regularly. Appalling

Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

-
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
-
John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 @jimswanstonlive That crap answer does not improve your **** network . How about Birmingham B12 again utter Shite signal ! Guess what I know the local mast is down but it has been ever since I have been with you !
