  • 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!

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

    My SIM only service with @O2 has packed up inexplicably today; and O2 slow to respond. Anyway I am without phone. So please DM if you need me.

  • SaintGeorgie Georgie Tongue (@SaintGeorgie) reported from Wokingham, England

    @O2 I spent hours on chat to your advisers trying to cancel my phone contract and was told it was all done. I started a new contract with another provider and now suddenly I have been started on a new o2 tariff??? Help!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • shamrocksam Sam (@shamrocksam) reported from Kingsclere, England

    @O2 how can my husband @geordiehugbug speak to customer service without a possible waiting time of 30 minutes?

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @O2 your customer service is an absolute joke.

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @O2 @England My ba p2 priority codes for the cinema are not working

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 ?

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • kathughes84 Kat De Keyser (@kathughes84) reported from High Wycombe, England

  • 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).

  • chlooedenise chloë (@chlooedenise) reported from Reading, England

    @O2 my data hasnt been working in Europe now for months, any help thanks

  • 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.

  • 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
