    @O2, any particular reason why signal for mobile data is so poor/pretty much non-existent in the NE30 area?

  • scoobyhugh8 Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 how can your service be so poor in a city centre.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • 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.

  • nossy1996 Gracie (@nossy1996) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @MyUNiDAYS @O2 I am trying to activate the JBL discount but no money seems to get deducted at checkout... plz help, I’m desperate for a new speaker

  • 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.

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

    @O2 It’s still not working

  • LuckyTony72 Lucky Tony (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

    @O2 Got a call bar today. Absolutely shoddy customer service. Also I've waited a minimum of 20 minutes to speak to your alleged customer service agents who appear to be utterly inept to make a simple change.

  • DarranBlackshaw Darran Blackshaw (@DarranBlackshaw) reported from Seaton Valley, England

    @O2 rang for help and answering machine says ring back in 24hrs and hangs up -really ??

  • ScottSChristie Scott Christie (@ScottSChristie) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Is there an issue with signal in NE29 just now? Mine has been pretty bad for a couple of weeks now. Many Thanks.

  • MattKeena 🏳️‍🌈Matt Keena🏳️‍🌈 (@MattKeena) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 are you going to reduce my bill, because the signal I’m receiving for £78 a month is shocking! Not happy

  • kathrynbaird_ Kathryn Baird (@kathrynbaird_) reported from Cramlington, England

    @O2 do you actually talk to your customers? I’ve been trying to contact you all week via the app, have called numerous times to be hung up on by an automated service and can’t get through to you at all. You’ve charged me twice for my bill & disconnected me even though I’ve paid!

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • Leggler75 Emma (@Leggler75) reported from Gateshead, England

    My husband & I have been with @O2 for 15 years plus. Can’t believe the terrible service after using them & O2 recycle. 10 phone calls later no further forward. Kept phone & no money. Disgusting 😡

  • scoobyhugh8 Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I’m in Newcastle for the weekend and could hardly get a service, keeping jumping from 1 bar on 5G onto 3G, couldn’t get into social media or online due to it buffering. What a waste of time moving to you from EE

  • VictoriaMurtha Victoria Murtha (@VictoriaMurtha) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Currently trying to upgrade my phone. No online agents available, if I visit the store will there be someone available to help me?

  • Sami_antha83 Sami (@Sami_antha83) reported from Gateshead, England

    @O2sports @O2 #O2Surprises - would love to receive an @EnglandRugby top to support England men’s and women’s rugby. 🌹 putting the request out there in hope that one day as a loyal customer since BT Cellnet days I’ll get an #O2Surprises fingers crossed 🤞 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 I can’t login into my o2 app, it says I might be a bee customer and to wait 48 hours but I’ve been a member for years 🤔 it’s just randomly started doing this

  • doc_drops Andros 👾👾👾 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 my sim stopped working, I can’t ring 202, can’t go to your shops and your live chat is down. Please help

  • adshill Adam Hill (@adshill) reported from Morpeth, England

    @O2 I’ve just been told that the only way I can use My O2 is to setup a new email account despite My O2 saying it’s the phone number that is the problem. Do I have to have two email accounts just for O2? Seems utterly absurd.

  • BerryandEmmett Berry (@BerryandEmmett) reported

    Hi @O2 , I'm switching from PAYG to pay monthly but can't get a response on live chat as to what will happen with the remaining credit on my PAYG - can you help please?

  • TheRocketGarden Tracy D (@TheRocketGarden) reported

    .@ThreeUK has offered THE worst customer service today. Passed from 1 idiot to another and fobbed off at every opportunity. They don't listen to customers, just try and get rid of them as soon as they can. Time to move to @O2 or @EE by the looks of it.

  • damokinsella82 Damian Kinsella 🇬🇧 (@damokinsella82) reported

    @MartinSLewis It’s all well & good when your not mid contract Martin. This is why I like @O2 - I can change my price plan once every 30 days up or down :-) the only network I believe that allows you too bar sky mobile. The only network to let you pay a device off & cancel contract too :-)

  • Nook123a Mr N-1 (@Nook123a) reported

    @O2 should be ashamed at the way you treat loyal customers! 1 hour waits and no on line agents!!! Disgusting service …..

  • N1nj4L1nk Fractured Dreams (@N1nj4L1nk) reported

    @GrumpyMathTeach @O2 Get off O2. They have bollocks signal, refer you to their broken signal checker when you complain and just overall have awful service. They should be shut down.

  • JamesJansson85 James Jansson (@JamesJansson85) reported

    @O2 Why do you feel it is ok to install an esim for a disabled person with mobility issues then deactivate it the next day with no warning or help?

  • YusraTraveler YusraTraveler (@YusraTraveler) reported

    @O2 Your link is not working …. Joke

  • 2thieves Jonas Twothieves (@2thieves) reported

    @O2 Whatever you are thinking of never never use 02. After week of me explaining to them what a partial port out was, they are still perplexed. I even had to get Customer Services to Google the problem. Unresolved.

  • N1nj4L1nk Fractured Dreams (@N1nj4L1nk) reported

    @O2 charges me for a service that they don't provide and have the audacity to tell me my signal issues are a problem my end. Your signal and customer service is ****. **** this scummy company.

  • naomhmorrison Knee V (@naomhmorrison) reported

    @O2 hello I won of those Christmas Priority vouchers £100 Puma but I never received a text with a code or anything. I would appreciate some help. Thanks.
