    As soon as my contracts up @o2 it’ll be the last day you’ll ever get any money from me been with you guys for 10 years and you kick people down when they’re on their knees.

  • 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.

    @O2 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone

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

    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?

  • JMcKnighty

    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

    @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.

    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!

    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?

    @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.

  • Ashbond

    @O2 Any reason why I cannot pay my bill using your app? Scrolling through, It appears a lot of other people are having the same issue.

    @O2 I’ve had no service for over 48 hours after a port from Sky Mobile. I provided my details via DM 13 hours ago and have been ignored. Please escalate urgently.

  • FreemanIan
    Ian freeman (@FreemanIan) reported

    @O2 I left O2 mid January having paid £61 in December, phone calls after phone calls and each time I was told a manager would call, never did, in the end I was going to go to the regulator.

  • Rachel_Coombs
    Rachel (@Rachel_Coombs) reported

    @mhewson_MCH @O2 After they inc their prices by more than they stipulated in their contract last year both me and my partner left. C£15 cheaper each pcm, comparable data, can use abroad, better signal!! IDMobile

  • samovarian
    samovarian (@samovarian) reported

    @mhewson_MCH @O2 Switch to Tesco, I did it as soon as they announced the ridiculous rise. Same network, but way cheaper and you don't get bombarded with the ridiculous O2 Priority stuff.

  • joewalshrocks
    Jo ❯❯❯❯ (@joewalshrocks) reported

    @huckleberrydan @mhewson_MCH @O2 So do I! I'll be leaving O2 once my contract is up. Too expensive and my phone is useless most of the time because of the lack of signal.

  • beckieebabee_x
    • B e c k i e e • 🐝 (@beckieebabee_x) reported

    @huckleberrydan @mhewson_MCH @O2 Exactly the same here ! Data is just as bad even if got some phone signal. In a city can’t use the maps because it’s rubbish! My partner has moved to EE. & in going to follow suit if I can find a decent deal!

  • InfernalBore
    Richard (@InfernalBore) reported

    @O2 @Uptowndiscos Why are you directing people to a page that is no long monitored/active? How do we contact o2 Business customer support in the UK? Why is the o2 Business online portal not working? Customer service levels have been bad for a ages, but now they're bordering on non-existent.

  • MarQusRomelle
    MarQus Romelle (@MarQusRomelle) reported

    @O2 Yes I confirm. I seriously hope o2 are able to solve this issue because it shouldn’t be made so difficult, jumping through hoops and a bunch of loading screens with portal errors, to do something as simple as making a payment; it’s incredibly anti-consumer.
