  • akasha303 Greg Meeres (@akasha303) reported from Twyford, England

    @O2 Your web chat support team advised I ‘needed’ to call Equifax, rather than Experian, even when I queried (as I have an Experian account). Might want to check the process playbooks! (Issue is now resolved through a work around).

  • Gismo_the_Rogue GismoDan (@Gismo_the_Rogue) reported from Reading, England

    @JohnnyTortoise @virginmedia @O2 I wouldn’t bother calling, looks like it’s a nationwide outage.

  • natejrogers Nate Rogers (@natejrogers) reported from Wokingham, England

    So my @O2 contract has now gone back to its normal price (which is double). Does that mean I’m now going to get double the service? I bloody hope so, cos it’s pretty sucky at the moment.

    Anyone else having problems with the way @EE seem to measure monthly data use? EE are telling me I’m using significantly more -on average-and over a prolonged period- than I ever did on old @O2 contract (since switching: to save £1pcm) Nothing else has changed Over to you @EE

  • KellyMSanders kelly marie sanders (@KellyMSanders) reported from Bracknell, England

    @O2 hi I waited until the pro max was saying next day delivery to order - it says it right now so I paid my last phone off to order it and ten mins later got an out of stock email. Can you tell me how to cancel everything I just did please?

  • Jenzy84 Jenna Christie (@Jenzy84) reported from Wokingham, England

    @O2 sort out your customer services ! Waited ages and because the operator didn’t like me saying how ridiculous the service was he cut me off!!! #disgusted

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @O2 Hello, I wanted to activate the 6 months Apple Music through Priority and I got stuck on the Account page and I don't see any option showing to redeem those 6 months. Could you please help me, which are the correct steps? Thanks

  • SarahScogley Sarah cogley (@SarahScogley) reported from Bracknell, England

    @O2 your customer service is an absolute joke.

  • doncmccall Don McCall (@doncmccall) reported from Reading, England

    @O2 absolutely appalled by your customer service! And refund that has not arrived after waiting the requested time. Customer service agent was rude at the very end.

  • GeorgeGower_ George Gower (@GeorgeGower_) reported from Blackwater, England

    @O2 unable to log into my o2 online to upgrade. Password etc is correct, but it’s not loading the page on numerous devices. Is there any known issues?

  • carboncoach Dave Hampton 🌍 (@carboncoach) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    If I was a shareholder in @O2 rather than a loyal customer today would be the day I sold.

  • carboncoach Dave Hampton 🌍 (@carboncoach) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @O2 Tried everything. (Apart from trying SIM in another phone). Previously if ever ‘SIM not working’ flashed up all I had to do was switch phone on/off. Not this time. Help!

  • Daftblonde64 STEELEY (@Daftblonde64) reported from Reading, England

    @O2 please help. Loyal customer trying to cancel contract belonging to misplaced / unused phone. Waited in queue for 1 hour and 8 minutes. Music stopped, phone rang then cut out. Back to square one. How do I cancel ?

  • gonnella Pete (@gonnella) reported from Woodley, England

    @O2 frustrating deal with you guys, 6 months of poor service. Now dealing with your networks team, you quite obviously have a coverage issue in my area. Please just let me leave my sim only contract early thanks.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • Quantum_android Rob (@Quantum_android) reported

    @O2 So, I'm trying to sign in to my o2 account to pay a bill for a product. Can't do that unless I sign up for ANOTHER account with VMO2. Can't sign up for VMO2 as I do not have an o2 phone number. Also can't link my virgin account as I don't have the account number.

  • siany321 Sian (@siany321) reported

    @O2 hi, I'm on a pay monthly contract with Europe included. My data isn't working in Croatia- can you help please ?

  • BedsGooner Steve Wright (@BedsGooner) reported

  • VenningBellasis Venning Bellasis (@VenningBellasis) reported

    @O2 I am not able to receive any text messages from anyone on the EE network. This is the second time it's happened. Is there anything you can do?

  • JamesGoz James Gosnold (@JamesGoz) reported

    @O2 Hello - are you still active on here? Consistent as ever, your online support on MyO2 is useless & I got better help through your social media team before.

  • thekinaton 🔥🕊️ Jason Sensation 🔥🕊️ (@thekinaton) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @Yes_Its_Dave @GreggsOfficial @O2 I miss T-Mobile in UK.... They were a good network.

  • nomes29 Naomi Kent (@nomes29) reported

    @O2 2 weeks after renewing my contract and I still do not have a working phone. Was told in DMs on Thurs that if I just restarted, all would be well. Please help! No calls or texts on what o2 said was my now restored number

  • DHammy1971 DHammy1971 (@DHammy1971) reported

    @BedsGooner @virginmedia @O2 Feel your pain. Yesterday both my O2 and Virginmedia accounts were hacked. O2 were terrible and could have avoided lots of it from my first call, but almost ignored me then it got really bad, as people had access to my account.
