    @O2 awful service. Called to pay my device plan in full, was on the phone for >1 hr spoke to 5 different people in 5 different teams that couldn’t help (Customer Service, Retentions, Payments, Billing & Upgrades). My dog would’ve give a better service than what I received today!

  • DWATKINSON Daniel Watkinson (@DWATKINSON) reported from Urmston, England

    So @O2 take the bar off my phone at 1700 hours and nearly 6 hours later the bar is still there even tho they told me it would be removed after 10 minutes, not like I need to use my phone or anything. I’ve only been a customer for 12 years and only spent about £5000 on them

  • _Mikki1993 Mikki (@_Mikki1993) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I phoned and the woman I spoke with said the amount showing in 'usage cost' was my overall bill as opposed to being in addition to what was showed under 'handset cost' which I've never know to be the case before. Is this correct?

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @lmjwoww @O2 Exactly... their response didn’t help at all as I had already been on their website. I would say they don’t currently have 5G in Manchester. Contradicting the info on the website. 😡

  • NayJDennis Nay 🍉 (@NayJDennis) reported from Partington, England

    @JD0NOHUE @O2 Yep, and as you know he doesn’t have the best manners, so you can only imagine how bad it was

  • Link2076 LinkoVitch (@Link2076) reported from Mossley, England

    @develogue @O2 Offering me Footie is an almost guaranteed way to make me not use your service :) and I still don’t need that much data :)

  • DWATKINSON Daniel Watkinson (@DWATKINSON) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 are really frustrating me, I need my service restoring but can’t seem to do it right now

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Mottram in Longdendale, England

    @O2 hi, how can a serious look at serious lack of 4G signal strength be looked into? I've been advised to use the O2 signal checker which I have done and it always says that my area is at FULL signal strength. This just isn't the case. 4G since covid is atrocious :0(

  • sophiemaycath soph 🌞 (@sophiemaycath) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 trying to pay my phone bill and it's saying my Monzo bank card isn't an accepted payment method, tried using my Barclays but it's saying payment not working when I have the dolla in my bank? Xx

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Are you able to confirm, without directing me to your website (which doesn’t answer my question and does not help) when 5G will be available in Manchester? Thank you

  • penny62132920 Lorraine Glover (@penny62132920) reported from Strines, England

    @O2 want to pay off my devuce but cannot get through to customer servicei

  • marikapaprik marico (@marikapaprik) reported from Walkden, England

    Please tell me @O2 why I have so many issues calling you up? You cut off my phone and every time I try to call up to get it reconnected it’s a damn hassle?

  • DodgyValley Balcombe (@DodgyValley) reported from Walkden, England

    @O2 is there an issue with O2 data network centre of Sheffield at the moment, not been working last few hours

  • goughy84 Mark Lister (@goughy84) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 hi. I have Disney+ free till end month, when it then becomes £5.99. I saw on o2 offers I can add it for £3.99. Do I need to cancel and re add for the discount or will the £2 off auto apply when it becomes chargeable? Thanks

  • BeverlyMacker Beverly Macker (@BeverlyMacker) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 why does this ALWAYS happen?! On hold for 30 mins only to be cut off when you tried to put me through to customer services!! Do you realise how infuriating that is why haven’t you called me back?!

  • ISCDXN Isaac (@ISCDXN) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hello! I entered for 6 months free of Disney+ in July but never actually completed the registration on my account so will that have been activated or not? Could you check please

  • jonbentley90 Jon Bentley (@jonbentley90) reported

    Has @virginmedia mobile actually changed from @VodafoneUK to @O2 as its VMNO network following the merger? In an area where I’m used to getting excellent data coverage it’s suddenly become frustratingly dire. Could this possibly be the reason?

  • leeburns35 Lee (@leeburns35) reported

    @ModusDarts180 got an email saying to contact you for confirmation as tickets were not being issued - have done so and no reply? Please help event is tonight @o2 edinburgh

  • tjd19 Timandra Dyer (@tjd19) reported

    @MissWittank @Rozrunsabit @O2 They should compensate you for ZERO service! 😠

  • pixiefan_123 Annalise 🦔 (@pixiefan_123) reported

    @NicholsMarkl @O2 So true. They've still not DM'd me back...I've had CS team laughing down the phone and all sorts.

  • Rozrunsabit RO$ (@Rozrunsabit) reported

    @MissWittank @tjd19 @O2 We found only way to sever a Vodafone contract was to cancel the direct debit as husband couldn’t get through on phone or internet & shops don’t deal with such trivia. Absolutely ridiculous! 😡

  • STUB74294685 STUB (@STUB74294685) reported

    @O2 O2 store manager tried new Sim, which didn't work, he then put my new Sim I to his phone, that didn't work. No wonder the O2 shop manager has a Vodafone sim? He check the O2 coverage said it didn't mention outages, finally there was nothing he could do. Your network is dead!

  • AlexanderAshe Alex Ashe (@AlexanderAshe) reported

    @O2 Is your customer services contact centre open today?

  • AdzCrawford2003 Adam Crawford (@AdzCrawford2003) reported

    @MissWittank @matthewnunn1986 @O2 O2 haven’t switched to virgin infrastructure. All I was saying was that Sky has a lower priority on the O2 network. Even though this has nothing to do with your issue, you may have other issues if you switch to Sky due to the lower priority on the network.

  • NicholsMarkl Mark Nichols (@NicholsMarkl) reported

    @pixiefan_123 @O2 "small print"....If they're not fulfilling their side of the contract I'd demand to speak to customer NOservices manager! Escalate it, if they want your business & loyalty and no potential customers to see these public posts they should have a rethink! Don't let @O2 fk u about😡

  • STUB74294685 STUB (@STUB74294685) reported

    @O2 Check account - YES Sim - Replaced it Sim in Store Managers phone - YES still no data. Store manager sent me on my way there was nothing more he could do, none of the store team had O2 mobiles. This is not a local issue, full 4G bars no data Midlands and North Wales same issue!
