  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose

  • dtackley Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

  • kayewillan Kaye Willan 🏖🌞 (@kayewillan) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @O2 I’ve got some voicemails on my phone that I NEVER want deleted , how can you help ?

  • jessslee_ Jess (@jessslee_) reported from Walkden, England

    @O2 hi, my mobile date isn’t working and hasn’t been for some hours. No issues in area, and everything looks normal, please help 🥱

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 how do you get through to you for a pac code. Been ringing for an eternity and still waiting. It's as if you're ignoring the call so i'll have stay. pretty cr*p service from a main mobile provider. Let me guess #hgvshortageexcuse or #covidexcuse #notfitforourpose @Offcom

  • atlr Alexander Robinson (@atlr) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi. Yes, she is unable to relay the code to me. I was also told that, in order to cancel the account entirely, I’d also have to relay a code. I registered a security word when I set the account up. I’ve provided this. But I am still unable to admin/run my account. This is crazy.

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

  • AbiClarey Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

  • LastMinuteLeese Leese 🇬🇧 (@LastMinuteLeese) reported from Mossley, England

    @O2 It's always the same at work. Terrible service in a lot of places in Oldham.

  • Julio_Afonso522 Julio Afonso 🇲🇿 🇵🇹 🇪🇺🇨🇭 (@Julio_Afonso522) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

  • malllmallll Mario Alghatta (@malllmallll) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @BattyeB @EE I'm afraid I can't recommend @O2 even if they have good coverage where you are... you can't get any service from them. Been trying to get through for an hour this time #notfitforourpose

  • PerryClaire27 Claire 🖤 (@PerryClaire27) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 sort your **** signal out, £70 a month for this bullshit

  • DAbrahamNewman Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

  • tinytimwild Victor Wild (@tinytimwild) reported from Oldham, England

  • Searan15 Saeran the Wanderer 💙 (@Searan15) reported

    @O2 your customer service is a joke. Send out a replacement SIM that doesn't work, ring customer service, spend 30+ mins on hold and then you disconnect the phone. Pathetic.

  • BangorBBQer Al (@BangorBBQer) reported

    This Christmas, @O2 is donating data to those who need it. For every tweet using #O2DataPledge this Giving Tuesday, they'll donate even more data to the National Databank. Tap below to tweet your support 👇

  • EpifaniVieira Epifani (@EpifaniVieira) reported

    @O2 They never left a card at all. They never let me know the approximate time and dpd never left a notice that they were ever there until I phoned O2 and I was informed that I missed my delivery.

  • citizen_tammy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 CitizenTammy💉 (@citizen_tammy) reported

    @O2 Your service is shocking. Bought phone for son, changing from EE, number hasn’t ported. Your chat service isn’t available, he’s been holding for 20 minutes. I think I’ll end the contract, while I still can.

  • DamonHoward17 Damon Howard (@DamonHoward17) reported from Abram, England

    @O2 worst customer service in the world! Absolutely useless!

    @IanRElliot @O2 You can call 2729 and pay over the automated phone system. That's what I had to do in the end as its still not working.
