  • SophieBur492 Sophie burlinson (@SophieBur492) reported from Sunderland, England

    For an iPhone 12 Pro meant to be 5G since November I’ve had this phone. Have i got any signs? Absolutely not. It’s now 3G @O2 bad crack.

  • TCHL Tim Luckhurst (@TCHL) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 Appalling customer service. An apology is required.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • SgawShaw Muriel Sgaw (@SgawShaw) reported from Seaham, England

    @O2 @EleanorRylance And sack the poor employee?

  • MarcusSummers81 Marcus (@MarcusSummers81) reported from Newton Aycliffe, England

    Seriously fecked off with @DriiftLive all we wanted to was come in from a fantastic day out and enjoy #LiveAtWorthyFarm but noooo your pathetic service has ruined it all, absolute joke just glad I didn't pay but wish I could have had my @O2 treat to enjoy 😡😡😡😡😡😡

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

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

  • _RebeccaJT Rebecca (@_RebeccaJT) reported from Sunderland, England

    @O2 can someone please give me a response to a query, I have had an automated reply in dm which not helpful in anyway. I have tried my o2 app and it doesn’t help. I have also tried ringing o2 just keep getting cut off.

  • TCHL Tim Luckhurst (@TCHL) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 your customer service is appalling. You should be ashamed.

  • MarcusSummers81 Marcus (@MarcusSummers81) reported from Newton Aycliffe, England

    Hi @O2 I have an access code for Glastonbury live feed but it keeps coming up invalid even though it's the one I was sent by you, can you help please?

  • TCHL Tim Luckhurst (@TCHL) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 I repeat: your customer service is appalling.

  • sarahhunter25 sarah hunter (@sarahhunter25) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 hi I need some help. I've just been given the #GalaxyWatch3 as a birthday gift. Its the 4g version where I need a e-sim. I've contacted customer services but I haven't a clue what to do can you help? Thanks. Sarah.

  • LukeHockborn Luke Hockborn (@LukeHockborn) reported from Billingham, England

    Thought @EE customer service was bad 2 years ago when I was trying to upgrade, went to @O2 and Christ they’re even worse 💩

  • thegilesfamily2 @thegilesfamily (@thegilesfamily2) reported from Redcar, England

    @O2 hi didn’t win a main prize but app said had won greggs treat however the app would let me open to claim the treat

  • 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

  • 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.

  • lauramckeown__ laura (@lauramckeown__) reported from Redcar, England

    @Cristiana2195 @O2 @Apple I cba im getting absolutely nowhere talking to them in DMs🥴 Might cancel it and go elsewhere tbh

  • 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.

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

    @PopcornDonuts @O2 Shocking service @O2

  • stobbsmeister Paddy (@stobbsmeister) reported from Seaham, England

    @ThreeUK counting down the days until I'm able to leave. I've overlooked the poor CS and data dead spots however the reintroduction of roaming charges (after banging the go roam drum for years) is the final straw. I'm sure I won't be the first or the last to jump to @O2

    @klarusu @O2 We had that with our #BTBroadband and the damn thing keeps crapping out. I'm literally paying more for a worse service!

  • Taylod61 ❌ David Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧❌ (@Taylod61) reported

    I see @o2 is living up to its pathetic network capabilities as usual. 1.65Mbs it’s not as if their putting the price is it?

  • Beardiemanmossy Mightybeard.stevo 🧔 (@Beardiemanmossy) reported

    I think it's absolutely shocking that I email @O2 to complain about something which happened to my missus. Not once but twice...... While at the venue, they don't get back to me. Great customer service. #shocking #bad #CustomerService @TheO2

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England

    Avoid @o2 at all costs they are the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with absolutely zero customer service no choice other than to cancel

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England

    @laineyclements @O2 They’re appalling I’m going to cancel myself they are the worst mobile company I’ve ever dealt with they ignore you constantly cut you off leave you on hold zero customer service

  • skywalkerLuke12 Skywalker Luke (@skywalkerLuke12) reported

    @O2 hi, new to o2. Trying to give you my PAC code from EE so I can transfer my number, can you help?

  • moritslo M (@moritslo) reported

    @EnglandRugby @maroitoje @O2 There are still millions of modern slaves in Nigeria. Africans enslaving Africans. It’s deplorable. The UK is not the problem. Historically most certainly but modern day slavery is the real issue.

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Worst telecoms company you could ever have the misfortune to deal with

  • Tweeter_Of_Two Wellsie (@Tweeter_Of_Two) reported

    @O2 It's more like the relief you feel when you realise you can cancel your o2 contract for free and leave the crap network.

  • greg_skipworth Greg Skipworth (@greg_skipworth) reported

    @O2 utterly ridiculous, signed up for a new contract three and a half weeks ago, received phone and was told my account had been shut down by the fraud team. Emailed as instructed 13 working days ago and heard absolutely nothing. Brand new iPhone 14 sat in a drawer unusable 😤
