    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 🎃 (@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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • craigblundred Craig Blundred (@craigblundred) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 hi - my wife has been trying to resolve issue with SMS settings - have disappeared yet again. Spent over an hour on live chat but keeps getting passed to different teams then cut off. Has happened before we know what needs to be done but very poor service now.

  • 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

  • RuxanaNargol Ruxana Nargolwala (@RuxanaNargol) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @hellyarrj @O2 Having the same problem. #o2 should deal with this. Totally unacceptable.

  • _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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • andyphilipson Bilbo Gubbins (@andyphilipson) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Hey I just received a text claiming to be from yourselves saying there’s been a problem processing my bill and gives me a link to update my payment details. Pretty sure it’s fishing as my details haven’t changed. Can you confirm if I DM you a screenshot? Cheers.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @O2 I'll try one of these out. I've never had this problem before so hopefully it was just a one off mishap.

  • 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

  • rebeccajadetho1 Rebecca Thorne (@rebeccajadetho1) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @O2 It’s still not working

  • 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.

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

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

  • mikeofthejungle M W (@mikeofthejungle) reported

    @tobiashavec @O2 I work in Tonbridge and it’s been awful for years. I’ve reported it probably about 3 times to be told everything it fine. Full bars of signal, data throughput is slower than dialup!!

  • isaac_t_6 Isaac Thompson (@isaac_t_6) reported

    @chris_davies11 @O2 They give users a lot of runaround on issues like this, You can message “syncunlocks” on Instagram to get it unlocked, they helped me out with mine

  • YIDDO8 TTID (@YIDDO8) reported

    @O2 had very little signal in 14 weeks now. I have a new sim so can you set it up please? Also I've been promised £26 back for last month but I've not seen that on my bill

  • richa_michael Michael Robert Richa (@richa_michael) reported

    @O2 I think all 02 customers should en masse suspend there payments until 02 get their act together 6 months I've been arguing with them to give me the service I pay for and need due to ill health and I'm being fobbed off and from what I've seen I'm not the only one

  • simon_brew @simon_brew (@simon_brew) reported

    @o2 still no service this morning. When will you do something about it? DIRE customer service

  • WanderingWolf14 @ToonWolf (@WanderingWolf14) reported

    @leerobson23 @O2 Try @SMARTYMobileUK - uses O2 network and it's 10quid a month for 60gb of data and unlimited calls

  • JeMac999 Jenna MacDonald (@JeMac999) reported

    @O2 Hello, Husband bought a new phone with an O2 contract, received today. We requested his number to ported but it was not actioned. Where the link is to re-request the Porting? Can't get through to Customer services.

  • N1nj4L1nk Fractured Dreams (@N1nj4L1nk) reported

    @O2 @david4charnock Your signal has been crap so over the uk since before the pandemic. Stop lying o2, this is a brazen attempt to push people to pay for 5g which is BS considering you can't even provide stable E+

  • mirapeerance Edith Irwin, Person of places, (@mirapeerance) reported

    @HaydenDavid2 @O2 Yes in the middle of a big problem relating to very high charges (60 pounds) which claim to be to 0845 numbers I am sure I never made. When I phoned those numbers today to see who answers--they are completely unknown and irrelevant. I am sure I never stayed on a 60+min call.

  • IAmLanaPearce NyLanaThotep™ 🏳️‍⚧️⚧🏳️‍🌈☮️ (@IAmLanaPearce) reported

    @sazmeister88 @virginmedia @O2 I get my 4G signal dropping in Chepstow town centre too, it's such a pain. I even got a message from O2 about 5G coming soon, they can't even get 4G to work!
