  • JdBowns91 Jade Bowns (@JdBowns91) reported from Barry, Wales

    @O2 on the website it says to contact your customer services to change my name and other issues I want to discuss yet the only way I can get through to someone is to say I’ve had fraud occur! All I want to do is speak to someone why is it so hard. Chat is also unavailable

  • ieuanbeal15 Ieuan-Rhys Beal (@ieuanbeal15) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 your live chat service is garbage. 15

  • flowersshanice S H A N I C E (@flowersshanice) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hi @O2 I’m in desperate need for someone to active my new sim (had an upgrade) as I’m unable to text or call out viseversa. My o2 isn’t solving the issue either.

  • paigebuckingham Paige🧚🏻‍♀️🌸 (@paigebuckingham) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone else on @O2 and get literally no signal? I’ve had my baby’s doctor and hospital ring me many occasions and can’t get through to me!

  • BCFCOLIVERDOG Oliver City Dog (@BCFCOLIVERDOG) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @JoeSims10 @O2 Look forward to no signal on the Portway Joe 🙃

  • AdamLee2011 Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales

    @O2 Already with o2 for my mobile and they are brilliant. This was for MiFi, someone recommended three but the signal is terrible. Waste of money.

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @pinecone95 @O2 It's coming along slowly but surely. No sign in Barry or Cardiff yet.

  • nathanbarrett76 Nathan Barrett (@nathanbarrett76) reported from Usk, Wales

    @O2 absolute joke customer services give me the unlock code I have paid for my phone and you are with holding the code so I can't activate my new sim

  • fgethearies FGE ⚡️ (@fgethearies) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone else on @O2 ? My signal keeps cutting in and out 😩

  • callumcrowley Callum Crowley (@callumcrowley) reported from Liswerry, Wales

    @O2 customer service is the worst - transferring me to the sales team knowing they’re closed to fix an error that’s theirs. Can’t wait to change providers - pathetic

  • staceyjhubbard Stacey J Hubbard 🐧 (@staceyjhubbard) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Also when I highlighted my issues over the phone and through the Webchat @O2 do not seem very concerned or understanding 😔

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia @O2 Good luck to you and don't take any sh*t, you should be fully compensated for the absolute inconvenience. We had a little problem with our provider and they where excellent, understood the issue and before we asked they compensated us.

  • staceyjhubbard Stacey J Hubbard 🐧 (@staceyjhubbard) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    There is always some kind of problem with my @O2 order. Its even more frustrating seeing on here people have just walked into the store and been able to collect the phone without the relevant email saying its ready to collect. How do they know they are distributing the right

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia I feel for you, if @O2 and @virginmedia do merge, I'm leaving at the earliest opportunity. @virginmedia leave me a little cold and with no confidence as a customer.

  • ChaseMbbsMbchb bilbo (@ChaseMbbsMbchb) reported

    @O2 I keep losing signal why? 6 times today I’ve received emails/DMs to say the boss/family have tried to call me but it gets disconnected Not ideal

  • willmarsh056 william (@willmarsh056) reported

  • lourdaise Lourdaise (@lourdaise) reported

    @O2 Just want to say how incredibly impressed I am with your super helpful and friendly customer service. Thank you! @EE could learn a thing or two, everyone I have spoken to there recently has been aggressively rude and seemingly gone out of their way NOT to help me.

  • JGPictures1 Josh Gillespie (@JGPictures1) reported

    @O2 customer service expect spent the whole time in her personal phone under the desk and then refused to give me my passport and driving licence back. And then threatening me.

  • londondines london (@londondines) reported

    @sphesx @O2 It’s unnacceptable that @O2 reply instantly publicly to make it look like they care but then they don’t reply to the DM so yet again we wait for help that won’t come. Customer service here has gone down hill so much. I am totally shocked and appalled

  • redibled Red.i.Bled (@redibled) reported

    @O2 has O2 coverage literally dropped in the last 12 months ? Barely get signal in a cosmopolitan area, web browsing is like using dial up if it ever works, this has been going on for too long, used to be brilliant but it’s awful.

  • JGPictures1 Josh Gillespie (@JGPictures1) reported

    Service with @O2 Basildon store are rude and disrespectful fix it up @O2

  • Matt_West85 Matt West (@Matt_West85) reported

    @O2 shocking service. Anyone would think you would want customers to upgrade.

  • JaneChittick Jane Chittick💙 (@JaneChittick) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Anyone else on @O2 have no service?

  • londondines london (@londondines) reported

    @Gogger16 @O2 Yeah I’m having similar issue but worse as I’m stuck. They can’t transfer my old esim to my new phone and they can’t activate my physical sim. 2 weeks I’ve been without a sim but paying for their diabolical customer service. I one @O2 cares about helping. Change network.
