  • VivienneNewt0n Vivienne Newton (@VivienneNewt0n) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 £38 for an iPhone 7 handset only in store at Bolton. MyO2 offer is £38 phone and handset. I’m disabled & would have liked support face2face but the assistant said they can’t compete with online deals!! That’s ridiculous! @PiratePaul2705

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 not good I’ve been a customer for years rang to upgrade and to see if you can match a competitors offer and you can’t looks like I’ll be leaving #o2 #letdown #customersnotvalued

  • natalie_19851 Natalie Johns (@natalie_19851) reported from Salford, England

  • lucemets Lucy Metcalf (@lucemets) reported from Salford, England

    @o2 Do NOT use #o2recycle it’s an absolute CON! I sent my perfect condition iPhone 7 to them on an offer of £115, only to recieve a revised offer today of £57 because they claim the screen is now cracked. It’s not their problem though apparently, I should speak to Royal Mail...

    @O2 yet again I’m let down by you - ordered an upgrade & chose a phone in stock. Then told the phone was out of stock - but I can’t change my order!! Disabled, going on holiday & needed the phone 😡@PiratePaul2705

  • lebradle lorraine bradley (@lebradle) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 new customer to O2 and I’m appalled at the customer service I’ve received. Been told lies after lies. Would appreciate someone to get back to me to sort it out.

  • bsdesigned Brent Starling (BS) (@bsdesigned) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Constant drop out in the centre of Manchester due to congestion. Got told by a representative that: After speaking with our Network Service Team, the level of service you’re receiving is the expected level within that area. And it's part of T's and C's.. So tough luck.

  • J_P_Green John Green (@J_P_Green) reported from Bolton, England

    Anyone else had issues with replacement phones via insurance claims with @O2 - reported last week and as of today still no phones in stock even though they receive deliveries daily and also offering no alternatives!

  • cicismith81 Careen 'Cici' Smith (@cicismith81) reported from Manchester, England

    Message to @O2 There is NO need for any CSA to hang up on me because I corrected you. I’m now having to pay extra money because a CSA ****** up. And you won’t do a damm thing about it.

  • Ismailelnino Ismail Mutlib (@Ismailelnino) reported from Stockport, England

  • ADNWRL aidan 🫧 (@ADNWRL) reported

    @alphamuscledog @O2 @YouTube I've had the same issue with them and if it's anything less then 3 bars of 5G I'll have a tough time doing really anything at all, so frustrating

  • iistorm Christopher Porter (@iistorm) reported

    @O2 hey O2. Partner got scammed for a phone using his name and details with you guys. He phoned you immediately and you said your fraud department would look into it and respond in 10 working days. Been more than that and he has now been charged. Any help?

  • bigchillimatt Big Matt (@bigchillimatt) reported

    @O2 Any update on #VOLT changes? O2 Community site has been saying that O2 in one name / VM in another at same address issue will be fixed in Q1.....have tried asking over there and no updates......TIA

  • Resiliently_Ree 🧚🏾‍♀️ (@Resiliently_Ree) reported

    @O2 So do your stores have different stock levels to online? Why not give the option to a customer that they can go to a store to instead when you tell them it’s not in stock

  • gemmiekk Gemma (@gemmiekk) reported

    @MartinSLewis the speaker on my phone has stopped working. @Apple say under consumer law as it’s less than two years old that @O2 have to either replace or repair the phone. O2 say that as iPhones only have a 1 year warranty it will be a chargeable repair. Please help?!

  • CommandaCoder CommandaCoder (@CommandaCoder) reported

    @O2 Sent a DM I not sure what info you require to look into the issue.

  • RealCMc1930 RCMC 💜🤍💚#WomenWontWheesht (@RealCMc1930) reported

    @O2 The problem is the recycle, which is a 3rd party. O2 needs to take ownership of this problem. The practice of opening up a phone & providing no evidence of Screenburn, only say so is not practice of a reputable company. There's multiple posts on various forums about this.@GBNEWS

  • lottoo86 Charlotte ❤💜 (@lottoo86) reported

    @O2 Aye just a shame it had to come to that because of your companies customer service or lack of!

  • techromon techromon (@techromon) reported

    @O2 Hi. I’ve been waiting 2 days for my Airtime Plan on my Apple Watch to activate. Please can you help?

  • alphamuscledog AlphaMuscleDog (@alphamuscledog) reported

    @o2’s supposed ‘5G’ network in Manchester, even with full signal, is so poor I can’t even load @youtube; but I can’t get out of my contract despite the fact they aren’t meeting their service requirements. Been to their store and told there was nothing they could do. Total cowboys
