@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.

@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.

@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

@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!

@O2 Hi. I’ve left O2 in September when my contract expired and switched to another provider. I was billed in September in error and I spoke to someone who refunded the difference from when my contract expired. I have today received a debt recovery letter???? Can someone help!

@O2 Customer for 35 years. I logged a complaint on 05/08/25 after I tried to add additional handsets to my a/c but your colleague 'helping' me disappeared. You didn't respond to the complaint and after the 28 days you specified, I followed up. Still nothing. Appalling service.

@Graham_Neil @O2 Same thing happened to my brother and sister in law. O2 take no responsibility for allowing these things to happen and even ‘locked’ the phones down only to allow hackers to access them again. Now say they are responsible for all charges! Disgusting company

@O2 No network outages. No long weekend. Just a regular Thursday. Yet im on hold for 30 minutes listening to"We apologise for the wait, we are extremely busy" when calling into your customer care line. In what world is it ok to make customers wait this long? Understaffed!

@virginmedia @O2 It’s a service fault - again… it’s just not good enough. It’ll be down all day. Again. Fix planned at 5pm…. If only the reliability matched the price tag…
