  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • Dr_Bass Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @o2 any idea when your advisors will be able to help ? Been waiting since last night for advice with roaming

  • elgobsucram Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, England

    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

  • SimpaticoGem Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • StevenB93941279 Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    Is it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Stockport, England

    @joe_fush @O2 I've been trying to log into my @O2 account and you keep sending me text messages with codes on to log me in, but with absolutely zero signal I can not receive the codes to access my account 🥴

  • eagleeyedferret Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

  • eagleeyedferret Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • DaveWrigh Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • SimpaticoGem Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • clare_jeffs Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

  • WesleyTwiterD1 WesleyTwiterD (@WesleyTwiterD1) reported from Lymm, England

    100% ok here 👍👍 @EE & @O2 the day been ok wishing u good day 🤟 network EE 🤟 & O2

  • eagleeyedferret Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  • bodsy0 Mike Bowden (@bodsy0) reported from Stockport, England

    @o2 you really need to change your 'on-hold' music #terrible 😎

  • chrisrogan Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

    @mouthscomb @O2 Same issue here!

  • jaynemarshall Exmouth Family Robinson (@jaynemarshall) reported

    @O2 I'm struggling to get a PAC from you. If I text I get service currently unavailable message, and if I phone no-one answers once I've chosen option 5. I'm also struggling with My O2

  • PhilDBrown Phil Brown (@PhilDBrown) reported

    @O2 It is now at least > 48 hours since I had any signal in London SE22. Poor. I've got calls to make that matter to me. When is this going to be fixed?

  • Twatchoo Matty (@Twatchoo) reported

    @O2 Can anyone advise? Messaged but nothing. I have spent another 1hr 45 minutes on the phone in the last 24 hours, with yet more promises of calls back which have not happened. 23.5.22 this all started and O2 have shown no concern nor help with this

  • BWilliams403 Barry Williams (@BWilliams403) reported

    @O2 hi, how can I email your customer support? (The chat function of your website just says you’re all busy)

  • jodc17 Jo Jo (@jodc17) reported

    @O2 need your help desperately. Could someone please get in contact with me.

  • purpleclaire purpleclaire🇬🇧🇫🇷 (@purpleclaire) reported

    Customer service matters. About to sign up for a @VodafoneUK contract because Britney at the Victoria branch was so helpful (unlike the guy at @O2 who clearly couldn’t be bothered and just wanted me done and out of the way ASAP).

  • markwill69 mark williams (@markwill69) reported

    @JonoG1 @O2 I've noticed in Newquay that my service drops too Jon. You woukd think that Newquay would have a good service being so popular.

  • markwill69 mark williams (@markwill69) reported

    @JonoG1 @O2 O2 are useless Jon, I've tried to increase my Tariff for nearly 2 weeks now and nobody is interested, spoke to 4 different people, had promises and still not been done. I've sent 2 email complaints and they've not answered them. Poor customer service.

  • ShoaibH99 Shoaib Hussain (@ShoaibH99) reported

    @O2 my priority odeon ticket for Sunday is not working, can you generate me another one?
