Philip Walsh (@Trausselocal) reported@HarrietSergeant @O2 O2 are awful. Virgin was brilliant. I can’t log into my O2 account despite having changed my email address with them. I should have changed when my last contract ran out. Next time I will.

-
41andabullet Olivea (@4Olivea) reportedNew scam to watch for with @O2 ring call centre with an issue. They add a new line to your account to fix an issue. Basically churning the customer for a new sale. And taking off advisors stats and earning themselves a bonus O2 stop call centre making sales. Please
-

Graham Style (@grahamstyle) reported@SkyNews I'm not surprised @O2 is the worst rated complaint company. 6th March open an account with Virgin Media. 22th went on holiday, O2 just decided without notice to close the account. Been back for over a month, calling O2 every single day, complaints and fraud, nothing. Any help?
-

-
CryptoeSIM.io (@cryptoesim) reported@ungodlywheesa @O2 What phone are you using? Most phones from the last 5+ years support eSIMs! If yours does, you could be set up in under 2 minutes — no store visit, no paperwork, no SIM tray needed.
