@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 👏 🙄

@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 !

@O2 I had a issue with my billing and spoke to several of your phone assistants who did not help much at all, kept batting me off to Ariel Direct who also were useless. I finally got through to Tracy who explained the situation in 2 mins and resolved the issue, pls reward her.

@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?

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?

@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.

@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

@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

@O2 seriously unimpressed to see O2 sending threatening emails to my mother, in her 70s, about a contract she never had due to your staff’s errors. How about you reply to her formal complaint instead? Very glad I’ve stuck with @VodafoneUK, O2 customer service seems appalling.

@O2 You are COMPLETELY incompetent and stupid. Over 7 days now and no SIM activation. I cannot make or receive calls. I cannot use any websites that require 2FA. I am losing business. I am losing time (over six hours now spent on this). I am increasingly stressed.

@O2 I've just noticed that my data usage has disappeared from the top of the app. If I click (say) minutes instead, there is a tab for data, which is reporting zero usage. Are u aware there is a problem?

@O2 @O2 I’ll DM but your staff are a joke & in the chat session I’ve had this morning, Karen has taken the piss to such an extent that she’s pushed me to swear, which I never do. She has been AWFUL. A tip; do away with the faut chumminess & just do your job effectively.

@O2 received the worst customer experience, never have I been spoken to so rudely as a paying customer. Blaming me for a potential GDPR breach by your company where by my contract/other details have gone to somebody elses email because of they way you have set my account up.

@O2 @O2 So, I got one of your SIM cards with my Virgin Media account, but when I try and log in to MyO2 I get a "Your O2 Account has not been activated" error, resetting password etc doesn't help, the account isn't active.
