-
Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England@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.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England@O2 That looks like an Apple device. #Alexa won’t help you there. #Siri might.
-

Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Hi, please could you help me with a online store order?
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 just changing to O2 as I opted for deal with Virgin. Disappointed with how poor your coverage is locally in the B90 area. Where I had over 200mbits 5G with three, I am now lucky to get 20mbits with O2. Do you have plans to improve your network? Have I made a mistake?
-
karen (@kazpeza) reported from Wednesfield, England@O2 such rude service this morning i havent phone and need a replacement sim sending and no way of ordering one as only accepting calls if your upgrading or cancelling,so i spoke to a girl from that team and she cut me off as i was explaining
-
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.
-
Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, EnglandI 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 🤢
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 Getting very close to the point of cancelling my order. The port has failed and I have no service. Cannot get through to your support as there are no agents available. No reply to FB message since 9 am. The clock is ticking...
-
SandwellSnapper (@SnapperSandwell) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 Why when I click on the priority app for tickets, does it then not allow me to buy priority tickets on Ticketmaster? Why is it not working, it used to.

Alison Hadley 🛵 (@devilwoman1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England@O2 losing signal on walsall area

-
Amy Bradwell (@amy_bradwell) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I want to cancel my order with yourselves as the iPhone 12 pros are not included in the open discount.
-
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)
-
Follow Poor Shamir Claimant Ali Entrapment (@MuslimShamir) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Answer the phone. Is your phone not working ? Is it a desk phone or mobile you using ?
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.
-
... (@ASWM1990) reported from Walsall Wood, England@O2 Hi! Why is the internet in my town so **** for? Its been like this for over 3 weeks now. It takes atleast 5 minutes to get a signal when i switch my mobile internet on!
-
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 👏 🙄
-
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

Miss Music (@K8ie1987) reportedYep, @O2 signal is DREADFUL
-
Cátia (@CatiaSpart2) reported@MissLizziexo @O2 I don’t know what’s going on but they must fix up
-
Dan (@arronaarrdvarrk) reported@wheat_daddy @O2 I always struggle to get an EE signal at byards leap which isn't too far from you I gather so I'd be wary of them.
-
Allan GB (@blackadder1st) reportedWhat is seriously wrong with companies these days. It's definitely no longer about the customer and pure fleecing for profit. @O2 @British_Airways all brilliantly versed with their loopholes for how not to commit and be helpful
-
maria met camila ♰ (@iammajof) reported@agb_ayline @andreamfloresss How can people be like that? Ariana has never encouraged hate, so seeing some of her fans treat other fans like that is just so sad💔. @O2
-
Chris (@houghtonc79) reported@O2 No issues, just 💩 service. 5g is no faster than 4g was where I live.
-
Mitch Hirsty (@mitchhirsty) reported@BluesnJazzxx @O2 They have known about this issue for a few months now but don’t want to take responsibility and actually fix it. It’s the same on the website too. Someone seriously messed up and it would seem that O2 don’t care. They have become prawns. No backbone and full of shite
-
john (@jhargie4) reported@O2 @virginmedia @Virgin CEO Lutz Schueler Deadlock letter has now been received although it completely does not address my actual complaint and the reported resolution is factually incorrect. Just shows the total lack of respect shown to a 20 year loyal customer
-
Lincs Lass (@Nmxx1734) reported@O2 Hi, are you having issues in the LN11 area (Louth, Lincolnshire)? The service checker says it's perfect 5G, but it really isn't! People are talking about it on the FB community pages. You can't get on banking apps, send or receive on WhatsApp or Messenger, nothing at all!
-
Paul Curry (@Paulc2nd) reported@BluesnJazzxx @O2 I am experiencing exactly the same but @O2 obviously can't realise there is an issue and get IT onto it. I have just had an offshore tech team ringing me about it. I hung up. It would be a lot easier to have a tech team over here with the app in front of them.
