  • CherylManley14 Cheryl Manley (@CherylManley14) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @O2 your customer service is actually the worst

  • miss_scw Miss C-W (@miss_scw) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 absolutely sick of your rubbish signal in my house. every time I complain NOTHING is done. can’t wait to leave your joke of a network. I live n greater Manchester and I get better signal at my dad’s house in rural Wales 🙃

  • 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

  • rhianna_joseph Rhianna Joseph #PrayForDemi ❤️ (@rhianna_joseph) reported

    @O2 @O2 but would I be exempted from the early exit fees due to having cancel due a friend or family passing away even I was the one who was credit checked? Would the bereavement department still cancel it without fees?

  • rachelbymustang Rachel Marian Digby (@rachelbymustang) reported from Portsmouth, England

    Really fed up of being 31 and @O2 who has all my details including my date of birthday still say I'm not old enough to use websites like @AnnSummers I'm 3 bloody 1. Just let me buy a damn bra for **** sake.

  • Cheryl_x Cheryl Mckenzie (@Cheryl_x) reported

    Honestly courier drivers are the WORST! Waiting on a new phone, he calls and I cancel the call by accident, call back straight away and he doesn’t answer so then marks my parcel as he can’t find the address! Raging! @O2

  • davemh72 davemh #stopthegas (@davemh72) reported

    @O2 That doesn’t tell me how to put a complaint in though and you’re wrong as others are using CPI .

  • maryhippychick m a r y (@maryhippychick) reported

    So @O2 are raising my tariff An insurance broker is charging me £60 “due to the increases in the practical cost incurred in placing a policy including document issue, storage and licensing costs.” My buildings insurance has Increased due to subsidence claims last year.

  • Lollz81 Loll Montgomery (@Lollz81) reported

    @thelifeofjadey @O2 @EE was just as bad! I was disgusted with how much my bill was going up! I will be looking for a new provider once my contract is up!

  • andy_manc Andy (@andy_manc) reported

    @O2 complaint raised mid Jan about not having signal within my local area. Customer care team call me back a few weeks later and confirm that a mast has been down since September 2020 and someone else will call be back within 5 days. 3 weeks later absolutely nothing!!!

  • cortexrock Mark Roberts (@cortexrock) reported

    @O2 Back to @UKPowerNetworks then - are they aware of this service being powered by a premium rate text message? Pretty bad optics during the worst storm of the past 30 years, especially if you don't tell people there's a charge. Someone made some £££ last week!

  • DamainWard Damian Ward (@DamainWard) reported

    @O2 Ok. No surprise there then. I’ll just have to see the contracts out, one ending in July, and find another company that offers its customers something. The only thing I’ve ever received from o2 is more expense. Never even a thank you for years of custom.

  • rhianna_joseph Rhianna Joseph #PrayForDemi ❤️ (@rhianna_joseph) reported

    @O2 @O2 but would I be exempted from the early exit fees due to having cancel due a friend or family passing away even it was myself who was credit checked & not the user of phone. Would the bereavement department still cancel it without fees?
