    @O2 Trying to sort my mums #payasyougo account after 45mins waiting, two attempts to call in ended up on the same line as another customer, what a communications company!

  • theandycooke Andy (@theandycooke) reported from Barnsley, England

    @O2 On the commute into Sheffield I had issues with signal, at time went to 3G (I can’t remember the last time I saw 3G with @EE). I also had some signal issues whilst at work in the centre of Sheffield & didn’t once achieve a 5G signal.

  • titchyowl titch🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@titchyowl) reported from Brinsworth, England

    @ThreeUK @o2 just driven most of the length of the #Sheffield parkway with 1 bar. Call failed. How can the signal be so bad in one of the UK’s biggest cities? I’d understand if I was in the middle of the Cotswolds.

  • AmyGreatorex Amy Greatorex (@AmyGreatorex) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @O2 is there something wrong with coverage at the moment or is my lack of internet coverage/slow loading because I’ve ignored you when you want me to early upgrade 🙄 been with you years and my deals are rubbish! I use my phone for work… this isn’t good enough

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

O2 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • StevePogson1 Steve Pogson #BoycottPalmOil (@StevePogson1) reported

    @O2 Customer Service in 2021 is as bad for sensory deprived people as 1971. They no longer respond to emails but send a link, which goes nowhere. The 'live chat is automated & can't understand the word 'disabled' when applied to a human. Their CS here ask for info, no response!

  • Dunxi Duncan long (@Dunxi) reported

    @O2 Yep, but no one has at any stage explained how same quote was given numerous times and not picked up until the last minute.Also no alternative offered, only contact has been by O2 sales with a "new deal"!! Just awful customer service. Dissappointing at best.

  • shaunkevd Shaun Daley (@shaunkevd) reported

    @O2 your customer service teams are a joke. Cancelled my order on Friday; been told today it wasn’t cancelled and I have to pay for the weekends usage? Absolute disgrace. Thank god I’m leaving

  • Markus_Astbury Markus Kane (@Markus_Astbury) reported

    @O2 I’ve spent the last 90 minutes trying to contact you guys, either I get cut off by an automated line or your chats are too busy. I’m done with this shoddy service

  • _danielle_b Danielle Barnard (@_danielle_b) reported

    @O2 I've explained to 7 people over the last 2 weeks. Everytime I have been told its been resolved. I just want to speak to someone senior who can resolve it without me waiting another 24 hours. I don't want to explain again via a DM. Can you please tell me how to make a complaint?

  • dylannntv dylannn (@dylannntv) reported
