  • 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...

  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @O2 shocking service from o2 in Wilmslow. 5 new handsets through business and a few can’t be processed due to error. Assured error would be corrected today, it was but then it wasn’t. Messed up my morning yesterday, afternoon today and still two missing handsets.

  • Rollin_stacey Exotic Royce (@Rollin_stacey) reported

    @ali_struth @O2 Quickly send a direct message request to @CODER_SHEER4 for quick support and recovery as soon as possible

  • Baxter3890 James Baxter (@Baxter3890) reported

    I absolutely love @O2 ‘s 5G with full signal but no signal to speak of feature. So innovative. Hard to think how they’ll top it. Maybe a ‘you can only call yourself’ system. Let’s see. #2023 #Tech

  • Sk1l1d Eliot (@Sk1l1d) reported

    @O2 Hi O2. It’s been another 3 weeks and there is still no data connection at Reading Train Station. Full signal but no data on 4G or 5G. Will be 2 months soon. Please can you do something about it?

  • Henry_Keating87 Henry Keating (@Henry_Keating87) reported

    @LukeSallis Same phone??? I just want to get rid of @O2 signal is so bad now it’s a joke

  • xnanc Nancy ✨ (@xnanc) reported

    @O2 presale tickets not working for @rickygervais takes you through to ticket master then saying it’s not available??

  • HumanBollard My dad was a toolmaker parody (@HumanBollard) reported

    @tweets_marks @O2 @SamsungUK Unfortunately there’s no O2 signal here despite them saying “4g indoors”. I had the same issue in wales when I lived there

  • join4te Jay (@join4te) reported

    @O2 Day 59 of 365 on trying to get O2 to fix their phone customer service. 1) If you ring and ask for an e-sim for an Apple Watch then good luck with that. Staff seem very untrained. 2) Calls disconnect too much when speaking on 202. 3) The whole IVR system feels dated.

  • Lava087 Simon (@Lava087) reported

    @SamsungHelpUK @O2 my old Galaxy S20 Plus is broken due to it being dropped a long time ago but recently the battery has been expanding on it. I’ve never been able to wipe my data off it because of the damage to the screen. How do I dispose of this safely? I’m a bit concerned.

  • trickytree71 Alan Bryant (@trickytree71) reported

    @O2 I was told I’d receive a call back from Customer Services at 9am to discuss my issue with moving to a business account and guess what …….. NADA!

  • MichelleLM1987 Michelle (@MichelleLM1987) reported

    @O2 We were told that a mast was down, and it has now apparently been fixed, but their phones are still not making or receiving calls where they live.
