  • Ffilly95 Ffi Davies (@Ffilly95) reported from Liverpool, England

    @O2 No, I haven't - which is awful as a Welsh woman. But he might not tour after this so not taking any chances! I wish I could meet him😂 bet his band will be phenomenal!

  • pendo86 Dan 🏳️‍🌈🌹🇪🇺 (@pendo86) reported from Prescot, England

    Hi @O2. Your website says there aren’t any problems in my area but I can’t make outbound calls. I don’t know if I can receive them. I’ve tried restarting my iPhone but no luck. I’m trying to work from home but I can’t make any calls.

  • YesImRhiannon RIHANHAH (@YesImRhiannon) reported from Seaforth, England

    @O2 Y u lyin 4, been trying to do this for months n never succeeded even though I got told I could change it monthly when I purchased the phone. Changed it once from 50GB to 15GB and wanna change it to 10GB n it will only let me change it to 5GB 🙃

  • RichtMUFC99 Sir Richard Richard 🇪🇺 (@RichtMUFC99) reported from Prescot, England

    @Gazmo1 @graeme_wilko @O2 Its basic stuff as you say. Very very poor this from @O2. I genuinely and perhaps naively thought that customer service had moved on the a better place. Clearly not.

  • marykate100 Kate Taylor (@marykate100) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    Surely this is not the kind of customer service you would receive from other brands such as @o2

  • LiverpoolMarc Marc Murray (@LiverpoolMarc) reported from Kirkby, England

    @O2 I would but you have already DM’d me to tell me you can’t deal with any issues at the moment

  • PhillyG_83 Philip Gordon (@PhillyG_83) reported from Southport, England

    @O2 your customer service is awful. Staff hanging up on me all day. Need a senior manager to look into my issue!

  • zakdunstan zak dunstan (@zakdunstan) reported from Westhoughton, England

    Really want to upgrade my @SamsungMobile s7 edge with Vodafone to a @HuaweiMobile p30 or p30 pro on my @VodafoneUK contract but they're so expensive compared to @O2 :( 7 YEARS a customer, and no deals to be had

  • Claire_journo Claire Hannah (@Claire_journo) reported from Wigan, England

    Postman been. Bill for an iPad with @O2, phone with @O2 phone with Vodafone and a letter from Virgin to tell me my data has been breached. No shit Sherlock. Had enough of this now. #IdentityTheft

O2 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IamNubz Nubz 🤔 (@IamNubz) reported

    @O2 tried to report fraudulent callers using your system to send 6 digit security codes out to your customers as part of password resets and customer service hung up on me twice. You don't care about the security of your customers data. Been a customer for a decade, until then.

  • Triplenath Nathan Woolley (@Triplenath) reported

    @O2 have you guys ceased trading or just totally given up? A bit of signal in London would be nice.

  • PiggyMalone1 Piggy Malone (@PiggyMalone1) reported

    @O2 Telefonica is a criminal outfit and they do not give a flying f*** about the UK, hence almost zero investment in network coverage over here.

  • x4nto Anthony McKenna (@x4nto) reported

    Disgraceful service again from @o2 billed me when I was promised I wouldn't, what a rubbish network and customer service

  • TraceyPyke3 Tracey Pyke (@TraceyPyke3) reported

    @O2 saying I’ve used a voucher I have never used, worried I be been hacked

  • nalloms D (@nalloms) reported

    @O2 you leaked my data, alerted me to fraudulent activity, asked me to contact you but don't respond. Tried your really bad chat function, calling your published number (I'm calling from abroad) and tweeted you. Nada. Thanks 👍

  • MrCPegg Chris Pegg (@MrCPegg) reported

    @O2 your online chat repeatedly keeps crashing on me when I’m trying to contact service. This is getting very stressful

  • PeteyJayD PT. (@PeteyJayD) reported

    @O2 hi, I am trying to port a number from Voxi to O2. The Voxi service disconnected yesterday morning but I’m still on the temp O2 number. Called customer service last night who said it’d be done “within minutes”. Still not done. I need my number active. Thanks.

  • Amit91987 A.P (@Amit91987) reported

    @O2 I need some help with my contract. I cannot see whether my contract price has increased for April. Also, need to know if I am out of contract so I can look around. Thanks

  • Lizzle_B Elizabeth Blackman 🇺🇦 💙💛 (@Lizzle_B) reported

    @O2 guys I need to speak to customer service. I was on hold for over 40 mins twice yesterday afternoon and in messaging I just get an auto reply saying you are too busy and to try again later!
