    Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • 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!

  • OliverBanks

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

    @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 🥴

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

    @O2 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍

  • NeilWilson_MUFC
    Neil Wilson (@NeilWilson_MUFC) reported from Oldham, England

    What a waste of space @o2 Now the site has crashed after giving me a code finally, totally unacceptable customer service #PeterKayLive

    @O2 Yep-didn’t work and then tried via help centre- still no luck . I’ll DM the number

  • JMcKnighty
    ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  • anthonyewbank
    MUFC689908 (@anthonyewbank) reported from Middleton, England

    I'd like to make a complaint @O2

  • JacquiDarling
    Jacqueline (@JacquiDarling) reported from Bolton, England

  • AtlasSailing
    🇬🇷Atlas Sailing🇬🇧 (@AtlasSailing) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @O2 Work was meant to be completed last week! Do I move to a better mobile company or are you going to improve the service???

  • howierice
    Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • alid7997

    @O2 why is your signal in Manchester so, so ****?!

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • RJakesEU
    Rob 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 when are you going to fix the mobile signal in Manchester? Hardly anything in the city centre and I need to rely on Wi-Fi. Definitely not worth what I’m currently paying for it

  • couser85
    Daniel Couser (@couser85) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 why is the my o2 not working. Haven’t been able to use it for over a week!

    @O2 We got there eventually, the staff in store and on the calls - particularly the insurance team - were excellent but I could see they were as frustrated as me. Excellent customer service, terrible systems!

    @O2 In the city of London and you can’t even provide a proper 5G data reception!! What a **** provider !!

  • TheBenRatch
    Benedict Ratchford (@TheBenRatch) reported

    @O2 Coverage around Wigan awful. Lucky to even muster one bar nevermind internet. Struggling to make calls, texts not sending or being received late. Not just at home but around town too. Its shocking. Done all the troubleshooting and to be honest its been like it for years.

  • lilyryan
    Lily Ryan (@lilyryan) reported

    @O2 Due to the recent price increase, I’ve decided to move to another provider. I’m unable to find an option in the app to cancel my SIM. I already have a PAC code to keep my number and I’m now out of contract—would that be sufficient to proceed?
