    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!

    @O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my devise as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

    @O2 This is not new.I'm fed up with this topic.i feel the only outcome is for you to ask your supervisors to acknowledge this poor service and stop given me some scrip.I get it.Hear it .know it .But alas, O2 is still rubbish. Please only respond with useful information...No script.

  • JohnnyFocal
