  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    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?

  • chrisrogan
    Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

  • elgobsucram
    Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, England

    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

  • bodsy0
    Mike Bowden (@bodsy0) reported from Stockport, England

    @o2 you really need to change your 'on-hold' music #terrible 😎

  • DaveWrigh
    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?

  • OliverBanks
    Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • CurryInTurry
    DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

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

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

  • StevenB93941279
    Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    Is it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.

  • Tiffers1973
    Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @o2 any idea when your advisors will be able to help ? Been waiting since last night for advice with roaming

  • J0eH0lmes
    Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

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

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

  • Dr_Bass
    Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  • 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.

  • J0eH0lmes
    Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Stockport, England

    @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 🥴

  • grantmathieson
    Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • clare_jeffs
    Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

    @O2 When is someone going to sort out my ongoing issues with context - 4 weeks now - no response to my emails to resolution centre #o2 #verypoorcustomerservice #isthishowyoutreatlongstandingcustomers

  • SueOwenBailey
    Sue Owen Bailey (@SueOwenBailey) reported

    @O2 Thanks so much, I have just tried that, spent ten minutes jumping through hoops to speak to someone only for them to hang up on me as soon as they answered. I will DM you - can you arrange for someone to call me please

  • nirave
    Nirave 尼拉夫 (@nirave) reported

    @Heidivel @VodafoneUK Don’t change to O2 – trust me on that, they’re the worst UK network possible and their customer service is ATROCIOUS. You’ll be waiting a day for a single message in response from @O2 as well.

  • onlyslightlybsd
    Onlyslightlybiased (@onlyslightlybsd) reported

    @O2 Have been waiting on hold for about half an hour now, is there any other way of organising a return? Either in store or through a webchat service

  • RakeshSagu1
    Rakesh Sagu (@RakeshSagu1) reported

    @O2 Terrible service. Experienced issues porting my number for nearly 3 weeks, during which I haven't been able to use my 02 SIM. The team have no idea how to resolve. I want to cancel but am outside the 14 day period, so will incur your cancellation fee! Please can you resolve??

  • SueOwenBailey
    Sue Owen Bailey (@SueOwenBailey) reported

    Hi @O2 can I have a number to call you on from a non-02 phone as I do not have enough signal to get a connection (on-going issue of several years) and would like to terminate my contract.

  • sololatolulope
    beehem (@sololatolulope) reported

    @O2 , you do not care about your customer and am very upset about this. @O2 isn’t taking any responsibility and it seems like @RoyalMail isn’t too. How do I get my phone back or my money in this case.

  • Sadlybrokeboy
    Matt Morris (@Sadlybrokeboy) reported

    @o2 stupid question for you. Can I switch an existing SIM card to an esim connection?

  • GiveUpTheJosh
    Forty-Nine Sea Horses (@GiveUpTheJosh) reported

    @O2 Love how you dont respond after you're so rude to me. You wont be seeing my custom again. Cancelling said new 24 month contract, cya.

  • GiveUpTheJosh
    Forty-Nine Sea Horses (@GiveUpTheJosh) reported

    **** @O2 so much. Upgraded yesterday so it would be on the same sim, go to work today and i have no data??? Great
