    @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

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

  • 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

  • claireshaw2188 Claire Louise (@claireshaw2188) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @O2 please can you advise me who to contact to share amazing customer service from one of your team in your Wilmslow store please?

  • 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. 😡

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 when will the 4G signal be back to normal working order? Is COVID still a factor in this? I'm sure the signal strength was cut short due to more people working at home etc.

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 3 days trying to pay off my device plan and no one wants to help ! Keep being told I’m being put through to the call centre only to be put through to some working from home who can’t help #Disgraceful #cannotwaittoleaveo2

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 It keeps cutting me off because I’m not calling to upgrade cancel or report fraud it’s frustrating to be told to call and then I’m cut off

  • _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?

  • 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 :)

  • 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

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 given that there is a reduced presence on the phones why can I not pay a lump sum off my device plan online I’ve tried the messaging service and no response for over an hour it shouldn’t be this difficult can someone please help

  • katarn_a1 David Moores (@katarn_a1) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 hello I have dropped my phone and need it repaired or replaced because the back of has a crack in it .my local shop is closed down so how can I do this

  • 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(

  • 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?

  • TopSpaceXFan Captain Shep #DogRight (@TopSpaceXFan) reported

    Just moved over to @O2 after @EE cocked up my upgrade. They claimed they couldn't upgrade me because my credit rating wouldn't allow it, despite me never missing a payment and having over $15k available credit on cards and Paypal. ***** lmao

  • JamesRees_PCC James Rees (@JamesRees_PCC) reported

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Nadine - how stupid do you have to be to be in government? Or, are you having to pretend to be this dim in order to fit in? Either way, its world beating.
