  • fredspoon philip (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    Lots of companies doing their bit to help. I got an email from @O2 this morning and how they are helping is allowing people to access the @NHSuk websites without using your data. Whoopy ******* doodle do. I can’t wait it’s like Christmas all over again.

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I was supposed to get a free upgrade every 12 months but your "problems with supply" last year meant that I didn't get my new phone for over a month after I requested it, so my refresh date is a month later, which pushes it past my annual christmas trip. It's a farce.

  • ilovefluffy Andrew Willis (@ilovefluffy) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    The speeds I’m getting from Sky Fibre Max are appalling too, sometimes I can’t even use it, it’s so awful, like scraping the barrel speeds and connectivity which just isn’t worth it. @O2 to the rescue here though because their 4G tether speeds are usually faster than Sky Fibre.

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @2bard @intueldonsquare @northumbriapol You're right in normal circumstances, however my phone signal keeps cutting out while @O2 are upgrading to 5G, last week a man had a seizure in front of me and I was getting repeatedly disconnected from the emergency services while trying to get an ambulance.

  • engg_rky Raj (@engg_rky) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    As expected @EE never cares about customer relationship and thus had not replied. @VodafoneUK @O2 if you have better options for me with 500 min India calls per month then please contact me I will port my number

  • AngieOrrick Angie Orrick (@AngieOrrick) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @O2 you have the worst customer service ever encountered! If I could stop paying you I would! That’s your shop and by telephone

  • timlibrarian Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) reported from Bearpark, England

    I suspect if I cancelled the three direct debits I pay every month to @O2 they’d find time to get in touch with me. Help with setting up a new phone when their online SIM swap is banjaxed, not so much.

  • petern280 peter nixon (@petern280) reported from Springwell, England

    @O2 is there an issue with the app data counter, mines said unavailable for the last few days

  • sheilavictoriaR Sheila Robson (@sheilavictoriaR) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

  • headcoverlova Paul Frampton (@headcoverlova) reported from Bearpark, England

    @O2 really bad customer service to offer a free streaming service a lot of families could use right now only for new customers. Other networks offering free services for all customers. Make me think you don’t value loyal customers at all

  • doc_drops Santa Drops is coming to Toon 🎅🎅 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    You’re rolling out 5G when Newcastle doesn’t even have basic coverage, I have a 50GB contract with you and barely manage to use 2GB a month due to lack of signal/searching for free Wifi @O2

  • simonkeenan007 simon keenan (@simonkeenan007) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 Ignore me I'm being stupid lol, now let's move alone and ignore what I said have a great day and thank you

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    So to be straight: because @O2 have been terrible for over a year, I can’t refresh my phone until after I get back from my Christmas trip! You’re very VERY quickly losing a customer here and I’ve been with o2 for nearly 15 years.

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your coverage in most of Newcastle is shocking, I live in NE2 and the best signal I get is 1 bar of 3G in my iPhone 7

  • XLindyLou Lynn (@XLindyLou) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @PopcornDonuts @O2 Shocking service @O2

  • kirstynewcastle kirsty widdowfield (@kirstynewcastle) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 been charged for a premium service that wasn’t me. How do I go about getting a refund when I can’t get through on the number that billed me

  • DarrenMorgan Darren (@DarrenMorgan) reported from Washington, England

    @BootneckShuffle @O2 @EE Never had a problem with O2 untill I switched my DD date. They're hopeless

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 so… appalling service, no signal abroad, no signal at home… thought I might try to refresh my phone but it turns out that I can’t because last year there was a delay in getting my phone to me so my usual refresh date in October has been pushed back til November!

  • scottbarron90 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Scott Barron 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@scottbarron90) reported from Brandon, England

    @O2 what a waste of money it is I pay for you're service every month. Another mast issue in my area, no calls or texts all day, I ise this phone for buisness Yet again lost more money through o2 and the rubbish equipment I've never had this issue with any other service provider

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

    @O2 Network has been down for the last couple of days in DN32 (Grimsby) area. Any indication as to when this will be be fixed? Quite important to me as I'm currently self isolating. Thanks.

  • Linkmarine15 《⬡》 $link ¥ou ₩!n 《⬡》 (@Linkmarine15) reported

    @O2 still unable to provide a reliable service

  • OlieMitchell Olie Mitchell (@OlieMitchell) reported

    @O2 hi, no phone signal in my area since Friday (after storm). Have tried the usual turn off, take sim out but still nothing. Please PM to advise. Thanks

  • geordie1kenobi sean kelly (@geordie1kenobi) reported

    Hey @O2 my network signal/ data is bad I’ve checked on website nothing is wrong but it has been terrible

  • philter66 Phil Turner (@philter66) reported

    @gregdeacon @O2 They are very very poor

  • cathcartboy Cathcart Boy (@cathcartboy) reported

    O2 must have the worst administration and customer services ever. Definitely changing tomorrow for sure. Sick of @O2 dysfunction. Irony is no complaints over actual phone service.

  • AndrewGarethP Andrew Parrington (@AndrewGarethP) reported

    @O2 Have sent a dm. It doesn't help to go outside, I haven't left the area. Thanks.

  • ThomasLedger Thomas Ledger (@ThomasLedger) reported

    @O2 why is it since your merger with Virgin has your service coverage degraded? Before I had flawless 5G coverage which never dropped out, now it is patchy at best? I think I’ll be looking to change providers at the end of my contract. Any recommendations peeps?

  • harriesbutcher3 gerwyn harries (@harriesbutcher3) reported

    Hey @O2 been trying to pay a old bill and getting absolutely no help off customer services. Anybody available who knows how to take a payment ???

  • MuppetRider Smackie (@MuppetRider) reported

    @O2 It’s @EE who should be apologising it’s been a terrible service
