-
✞ ⛥ ElectroFox ⛥ ✞ (@TheElectroFox) reported@Joff_L @O2 They also see fit to charge existing customers upfront costs when trying to upgrade and dont budge on any of it, forcing you to customise your tariff and making it down to £10 as the lowest amount, which then raises the overall cost and then has you dropping down a tariff later.
-
Sn✴wy 💬 (@snowy_1982) reported@O2 Why is your company so difficult to work with? Your customer service is a joke, you are an embarrassment and you should be ashamed, the mistreatment of my wife I've just heard is abhorrent and you are a bunch of con men.
-
Josephine (Josie) Tapper (@TapperJosephine) reported@O2 almost a month without data inside my home due to a mast issue. It’s been down at least 6 months out of the last 12. Your coverage is also non-existent in Exeter. It’s 2026 for goodness sake.
-
Joe Gibbs (@JoeGibbs2) reported@O2 To many phone calls to an automated switched board to eventually get through to Somone to not have this sorted multiple times is so poor . I’ve been told today it could take up 7 days to which I’ve said if not sorted in next 2 days I’m closing my contract and going back to three
-
IT Connect (@itconnectuk) reported@O2 Hi, need help with a phone unlocking, it’s currently on O2 but would like it unlocked, free of charge due to ofcom regulations, could someone assist if I provide the IMEI?
-
Ian Court (@iancourt) reported@O2 @Joff_L Not convinced, O2, sorry. Uswitch SIM only deals used to be open to existing customers who were renewing at the end of their contracted period, but you stopped that last year. Why? The deals you offer existing customers aren’t great in comparison to the Uswitch offers. Fortunately for me, I managed to renew several of my O2 contracts via a Uswitch link the day before you pulled the plug. You’ve since had the nerve to hit us with a higher than advertised April price increase, in spite of Ofcom’s rules. When I’m next up for renewal, unless you can do me a really good deal that’s on par with the price comparison offers, I may very well take my business elsewhere, after 27 years of being a customer.

Rcmnsotp (@rcmnsotp) reported@O2 Your 5G does not work around Waverley station EVER, and I know it’s not my phone as everyone I know that’s on your network says the same, it’s like some sort of black hole.

StuartB (@StuartBain1986) reported@O2 is there an issue with 5G in the Dundee area? Constantly coming in and out of reception it’s a pain!!
