    @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!

    @O2 beware of what you get told and sold by o2, they’ve ripped us off in a big way. Customer loyalty counts for nothing. After over 20 years with them, we can’t wait to go elsewhere. As unhelpful as it gets

  • 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.

    @O2 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone

    @O2 hi I have reason to believe that my phone number has been ‘spoofed’ can you help?

  • kea11y
    Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

  • LukeAMarsden
    Luke Marsden (@LukeAMarsden) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 are there any issues currently in the Oldham area? Can't connect to the internet

  • kingpak93

    @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.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @O2 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  • J0eH0lmes

    @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 🥴

    @O2 signal has been showing as “E” alllll day. Barely get signal as it is - I pay nearly £40 for my plan yet have to be connected to WiFi to use my phone 👺

  • Destr0yT0Create
    Devs (@Destr0yT0Create) reported

    @O2 Yes They said its been an issue with your codes for the last week. They've had a lot of people come in and unable to use it on the Pizzas. As in it just doesnt accept the codes. Greggs - Hounslow both stores on the highstreet and Heston Greggs - High street Whitton

    @O2 @JustinDiamond16 Many, many people have reported this just on X alone, I have reported it via Customer Service and they’ve opened a ticket and nothing has been done (no surprises there). This has been going on for months and months, if you do manage to get to the section where it asks for your card details choosing the Apple Pay option just spins and spins and then says Apple Pay isn’t available, if you manually enter card details 9 times out of 10 the payment fails. Turn to the IVR system over the phone and payments are successful, a payment reference is read out by the automated system at the speed of light therefore you have absolutely no time to write it down and then said payment just doesn’t reflect on the account. Why you messed around with the billing system I’ll never know, 18 years this year I’ll have been an O2 customer and the previous system was perfectly fine, have you never heard of the phrase “IF IT AIN’T BROKE DON’T FIX IT”?

  • PaulWil38543502
    Paul Wilson (@PaulWil38543502) reported

    @O2 I can neither make nor receive calls. Handset has been replaced. New SIM card installed. Still the problem persists. Told its likely o2 network issue. Reported 5 days ago. Still waiting for a call from technical support. I've no use of my phone. When can I expect a call?

    @arokorol @O2 Antisemitism is when Palestine welcomes you and offers subscription to its phone network. Another Kristallnacht essentially.

    Jamie Daltry (@JamieDaltry) reported

    @O2 yet again I have to deal with your hateful webpage & app. Since your ill advised tie in with virgin media the whole experience is awful. If it weren’t for your coverage, I would leave immediately. Just signing in is a minefield, gave up on VAT invoice yrs ago, just the pits.

  • burplenurple_

    @O2 ya’ll are RIDICULOUS! 4 days I’ve had no data service. Mind you, yous lot increased your prices last month. More money for what?

    @1stSimona @O2 My signal is has been crap for months! Horrible company who just take your money but don’t help when you cannot use your phone in your own home

  • OyVeyzMeir
    🔯Hebrew Hammer🔯 (@OyVeyzMeir) reported

    @arokorol @Shimshon1800 @O2 O2 may be preferring Paltel as a roaming provider but I'd more bet on the provider aiming an especially "hot" sector at the airport to capture roaming traffic and generate revenue. A simple manual network selection will cure that. But they're so close together that it does happen. Same occurs when in the North, can get alerts roaming onto Alfa or Spacetel and data is HORRIFICALLY expensive on those.

    Stephen (@Stephen1494712) reported

    @O2 Finally got it sorted. You guys need to fix your payment system, the email verification for login doesn’t work properly and when login finally works it automatically attempts to take payment on whatever wallet shows then fails. Then login has to be attempted again. And fails.
