    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

    @O2 when are you going to fix the mobile signal in Manchester? Hardly anything in the city centre and I need to rely on Wi-Fi. Definitely not worth what I’m currently paying for it

  • kjgreigy
    Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 hi i live in the postcode area OL9 , for the last 3/4 months the signal has been horrendous!! Lucky if I get 1 bar of 4G and once I can make a call I’m lucky if it doesn’t disconnect or if I move it cuts off… not great when paying a fair bit for a contract! #help

  • DAbrahamNewman
    Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • kingpak93
    Paul King (Kingy) (@kingpak93) reported from Glossop, England

    @O2 Have changed phones and need a micro sim card. Have PAYG with credit so want to keep same number and credit I have. Ordered a sim card online a week ago and nothing has arrived. Can you help please? New phone sat unused as can’t put standard size sim card in it.

    @ALittleLaw @O2 They are also sending me insane. I've collectively spent over 6hours on the phone to them! And not a solution in sight! I've cancelled my direct debit. Not a penny from me until it's sorted!

  • spcb

    35 minutes and still waiting for @O2 business to pick up. Service? 🤪

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported

    Absolutely shocking from @O2 today. Years of loyalty and 2 hours haggling still give me worse deals than a new customer….. who wants my business @ee @VodafoneUK

  • hel25071
    Helen Jordan (@hel25071) reported

    @O2 Took my elderly mother all the way to your store in Merry Hill as she needs a new phone on contract but because my father is the account holder, the assistant would not help her. Disgraceful customer service and totally ridiculous as she pays the monthly bill for two phones.

  • spcb
    Simon Baldwin (@spcb) reported

    And just ticket through 40 minutes waiting for @o2businessuk to pick up. FORTY MINUTES. @O2 … this is NOT customer service.

  • Roxannedkgg
    Roxanne (@Roxannedkgg) reported

    @O2 Yeah they can’t either and the venue don’t answer their accessibility lines or emails at all which is what is needed and stated in their accessibility info to actually have the chance to get tickets. Awful, but thanks anyway

  • Worly82
    CW (@Worly82) reported

    Was on Vodafone for 15 years plus, very few issues. Been on @O2 for a few months and it’s absolutely shocking. Coverage appalling, phone cuts out part way through calls regularly . Paying for a service I’m not receiving. Avoid at all costs!

  • IndifferentM
    IndifferentMonKeY- (@IndifferentM) reported

    @O2 Waiting for support call. Told to keep my line open all week!!! Like I have no life outside waiting for 02 to call me! It’s all so badly done

  • gemnicolson
    Gemma (@gemnicolson) reported

    @O2 account locked for security issues? I’ve called multiple times and always told a ticket has been raised yet next time I phone they know nothing! 2 month + this is going on for now! Account for 16 years - ridiculous service!
