  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

  • atlr Alexander Robinson (@atlr) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi. Yes, she is unable to relay the code to me. I was also told that, in order to cancel the account entirely, I’d also have to relay a code. I registered a security word when I set the account up. I’ve provided this. But I am still unable to admin/run my account. This is crazy.

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

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

  • 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?

    @O2 such bad customer service recently. Been over 48 hours and my sim swap is still not complete after multiple phone calls. Desperate to just cancel my contract before the cooling off period is over but keep being hung up on. Please help

  • ianrosenthal Ian Rosenthal (@ianrosenthal) reported

    @O2 Why is swapping a phone number from an old sim to a new one so difficult. Have tried 3 times in the last month. Website, calling customer services and the move by text service all told me that I'll be moved within 24 hours. 48 hours since latest attempt and still nothing.

  • xKatiex_ Summer Fence (@xKatiex_) reported

    @O2 I’ve had my contact three months and in that time your service in my area has been down more than it has worked. Trying to get through to someone, no hold message and rings out. Can’t use webchat as says you’re too busy. I need to speak to someone to cancel please

  • paulhayward200 Paul (@paulhayward200) reported

    @O2 Is O2 just spouting the usual garbage ? They keep on sending me texts saying they are doing work to improve the network in my area. But then nothing changes. The network is still sub 2 meg speeds . Do they actually do any work ?
