    Hi @O2 I’m both a virgin media customer and have a pay monthly sim with O2 and i am struggling to sign up to Volt! Help!

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

    @O2 I have no issue with waiting so long as you will have it in stock? I was told next Saturday on the phone for delivery this am and then received an email to say it's not in stock. Hence the confusion 😕

    @O2 beware of what you get told and sold by o2, they’ve ripped us off in a big way. Customer loyalty counts for nothing. After over 20 years with them, we can’t wait to go elsewhere. As unhelpful as it gets

    Kinda wonder why I use @O2 when their mobile signal in central Manchester is barely functioning. Continually timing out, drops connection 😡

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • 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!

    @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!

    @O2 The complaint wasn't really related to my account, it was related to the behaviour of your agent in your chat service, which was predatory and full of lies. The entire transcript accompanied the complaint, and was sent from the email attached to my account.

  • gawa_tyrone
    Tyronegirl (@gawa_tyrone) reported

    @O2 please fix the payment issue !!! Keep getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on app and website!!!

  • bmunckton
    Barry Munckton (@bmunckton) reported

    @mhewson_MCH @O2 Or better still. 50gb data for £1.21 a month. Go figure. I didn’t scroll down enough lol. Try beating that. 7 months at that price. No contract.

  • andrejpwalker
    André Walker (@andrejpwalker) reported

    Congratulations to @O2 you have the worst app I’ve ever used. I’ve clicked a link in my email at least 25 times. Unfortunately I’m unable to pay my bill. I refuse to spent anymore time on this.

  • 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!

  • Eeevee12345
    Eevee (@Eeevee12345) reported

    @O2 Hi, it looks like you guys recently cut off my spare SIM/phone number with no warning due to the 3G switch-off. I really need this number back as it’s linked to many personal accounts so I need it for authentication purposes, hasn’t been reassigned yet, can you please help?

  • Worly82
    CW (@Worly82) reported

    Was on Vodafone for 15 years plus, very few issues. Been on @O2 for a few months and it’s absolutely shocking. Coverage appalling, phone cuts out part way through calls regularly . Paying for a service I’m not receiving. Avoid at all costs!

  • 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.

  • CarlEardley2
    Carl Eardley (@CarlEardley2) reported

    @O2 @MarQusRomelle The app is dreadful. I’m trying to pay this morning and it’s horrible. I didn’t realise apps could be built this poorly in 2026…

    @O2 your live chat support is abysmal i have never had the displeasure of contacting something that useless before! and none of your numbers work so i can’t call anyone
