    @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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 🙃

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • liam0046 Liam Wright (@liam0046) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 honestly the shittest customer service I've ever come across. Absoloutely useless when you finally do get response

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

    @O2 yet more poor signal on your network in my area, really fed up now.

  • mars_silva_ Márcio Silva (@mars_silva_) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 just wondering about your masts in Ashton-under-Lyne which have been failing for a few days now. Data is almost never working this week, and I have no other way of accessing the internet

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

    Absolutely ridiculous customer service from @O2, my data isn’t working, have tried website live chat, app agent chat, tweeting them, and phoned 4 times (to which I was hung up on mid-conversation on the two times they acc answered) and haven’t received a (decent) reply on any…😤

  • Shay12three Sé McLou (@Shay12three) reported

    @O2 Hi, locked out of my account as my Security Question answer doesn't seem to work and I seem to have a handful of different passwords. Is there a person I can talk to to help. The Virtual Assistant is an utter abomination!

  • lylo Olly Headey (@lylo) reported

    @skifflad @O2 Don’t support Apple Watch

  • MCTYC98 🌸BornWithRights🌸 (@MCTYC98) reported

    @O2 great, no service, again, no updates til 20th Dec, brilliant…..meantime stop calling me asking me to upgrade, you cannot be serious when I can barely get 4G. Only thing happening next year will be me going back to Vodafone

  • freckulous crisps (@freckulous) reported

    @O2 Please can you help because trying to get through to a person on the phone or your app is making me feel quite unhinged. I just want to find out why I suddenly can't use my data. Thanks.

  • kathrynbstead Kathryn (@kathrynbstead) reported

    @O2 My boyfriend called you to cancel on the 20th of September, and still somehow you haven’t cancelled the contract. What is your customer service number from a non-o2 device?

  • DanRichards0n Dan (@DanRichards0n) reported

    @ProPhotographyP @O2 I’m not aware of this no as I’m an existing customer.

  • samboy26 Simon Morton (@samboy26) reported

    @O2 Sorry I am unable to DM you The issue is that I have contacted 8 times, listened to all your telephone directions to frustration. Each time, someone either tries to resolve the issue, or fills out a form I simply cannot get access. I've changed my PW 8 times or more. @EE
