    Jonathan Anderson (@JonnaAnderson) reported from Beamish, England

    @O2 I’m having issues with my calls connecting at the moment - every time someone is calling me when I’m answering the call is failing. I’m having to use WhatsApp to make and receive calls! Any idea how I can fix it?

  • 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.

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

    @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!

  • AngieOrrick

    @O2 you have the worst customer service ever encountered! If I could stop paying you I would! That’s your shop and by telephone

  • Donna_xx
    Donna_xx (@Donna_xx) reported from Sunderland, England

    @O2 why is the priority app down? Not good when you have priority tickets on sale at 10am !!!

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

    Hey @O2! 👋👋👋 You are really starting to make me angry. Why is my internet connection very slow, even when on 4G. I cannot deal withe pausing videos, apps and webpages not loading. Sort it out!

  • craig_donnison
    Craig Donnison (@craig_donnison) reported from Ashington, England

    @O2 Shouldn't need a DM for you to check you're replying correctly to the relevant posts. Don't insinuate I'm to blame for your poor customer service.

    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

  • MarkMowbrayNE
    Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, England

    Does anyone use @vodafone in the Northumberland area? Is it any good? I'm currently on @O2 but looking to switch networks as O2 are being extremely greedy with large price hikes on their already expensive network.

  • Danford2013
    John McCarthy (@Danford2013) reported from Whickham, England

    @O2 I was spammed. Then defrauded. Went to O2 shop and reported issue. Told Fraud Dept would contact within 2 days. Three further calls to O2 (2O2) and one month later still no Fraud contact and no resolution. Today notice to take another payment. @O2 any chance of sorting?

    @christe1 @O2 It’s identical but @O2 claims they never heard of it. It’s on their website. 🐍

  • sharonhunter72
    Sharon Hunter (@sharonhunter72) reported from Ashington, England

    Disgraceful service yet again with @O2 3 separate staff sorting refund within 7 days it’s now two weeks and guess what both call handlers HAVE NOT processed the refund 😡this is a phone was meant to have been cancelled in January but again this wasn’t done either hence refund😡

    @O2 Hey i wounded if you can help me I have a contact with o2 but I was unable to pay my bill last month I spoke to you on fone and told you I would pay you on 14th of January as I was in hospital but I’ve only got today and when I’ve went to pay it I can’t my fone now completely off

  • 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.

    @O2 Hi! Just wondering I have damage insurance on my phone and I’m aware it covers accessories aswell, can you claim for accessories by its self or does it have to be as part of a phone claim too?

    @kokeshimum @O2 Because O2 don’t invest enough into infrastructure. Such poor coverage in many areas

  • NotSoP3ng
    ShinP3ngy (@NotSoP3ng) reported

    @lloydoh17 @O2 I’ve been with them a very long time and never had issues like I have each month I’m looking at other networks coz the constant price increases and the drop in service it’s not worth it tbh

  • robertjamesmos1
    robert james moss (@robertjamesmos1) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 lol , we have issue with text and talk let alone 3g, as for 4g and 5g what the hell are those.

  • Watch_n_Wait
    Martin Lee (@Watch_n_Wait) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Listen to any talk radio show and the regularity with which they "lose" guests and callers is embarrassing, and nearly all down to dodgy mobile connections. Sadly Brits gave up a really decent landline system for the "convenience" of mobile without thinking about quality.

  • matchstickstorm
    v (@matchstickstorm) reported

    @O2 why is it so hard to upgrade my sim now? 1st of all, the “upgrade” options are ridiculously expensive and filled with **** i dont want/need, second- i went for a proper “upgrade” plan so i can keep my number, said i was switching to android but youve just changed my tariff?

  • Lewnytune
    Lewny (@Lewnytune) reported

    @O2 I have done all of those steps. Once again this week the signal just keeps dropping. Everyone I know on O2 in the area is having same issue

  • fishboygtfc
    Padge (@fishboygtfc) reported

    @BennyBlanco22 @O2 @Apple Yep, I had a 5g signal but nothing loading up. Spoke to mates and they said the same. Had it for years, don’t know why I tolerated it. Entire villages I visited with work blacked out. So much better with ID/3.

    @O2 @TheO2 your speakers work just fine, please turn it down a bit! Didn’t come to a concert to leave deaf

  • SonyRichards4
    lizrichards24 (@SonyRichards4) reported

    @O2 can you please help me cancel an 02 SIM card I have never used or wanted that is linked to my Virgin account?

  • JGoldyy
    Scoop (@JGoldyy) reported

    @O2 She was on the phone for 30mins and still couldn’t resolve/reserve any on my behalf, can you just tell me if there is any left in stock with Mario bundle as it still says there is on the website yet everyday I’ve tried to buy one it STILL does the same technical issue
