    @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?

    Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢

    @TheOldDear @O2 @EnglandRugby You’d think it would be easy to provide a service considering they charge me……….. wait for it £67 a month. I get no signal at all most of the time. Yet apparently engineers are working on it.

    Anyone else's @O2 just not working for days now? Like it's a full black up but says 5g No customer support Nothing

    Markandtfe (@Mark_ElderEmo) reported

    @Sean_Bahamut @O2 I had the same issue, called and they were like we can't offer any discount on it. Tried to explain I wasn't after a discount and the price had been dropped by Microsoft themselves. Did you get anywhere with this with @O2 ?

  • kbushnell1975
    Kieren Bushnell (@kbushnell1975) reported

    @O2 You utterly useless clowns. There is no option to send a messag via private message, as surely anyone in your shoddy organisation should know. You are an utter disgrace and if this is the way you treat customers of 20 years plus, you are very much going down in my esteem.

  • LandladyWoo
    Andy W (@LandladyWoo) reported

    Hey @O2 I'm no longer a customer so can't access the o2 app but need to query why you have taken another direct debit payment instead of the refund I was expecting. How do I get in touch?

  • HueHew
    Hue (@HueHew) reported

    @O2 I am trying to activate a new PAYG SIM card but each time I try and top up it says it was unsuccessful, regardless of which debit/credit card I use. How do I fix this please?

  • MishehooA
    Misha Hoo (@MishehooA) reported

    @arokorol @O2 Receiving a "Welcome to Palestinian Authority" message at Ben Gurion Airport happens bc your phone connects to the strongest available signal, which can sometimes be a Palestinian network tower located in the nearby West Bank, rather than an Israeli one. NothiNothing malicious.

  • o_sheilagh
    Sheilagh O'Gorman (@o_sheilagh) reported

    @arokorol @O2 I would cancel your contract when you get back to UK. Choose another provider.
