    @O2 shocking service from o2 in Wilmslow. 5 new handsets through business and a few can’t be processed due to error. Assured error would be corrected today, it was but then it wasn’t. Messed up my morning yesterday, afternoon today and still two missing handsets.

  • LeighRussell Leigh Russell (@LeighRussell) reported

    @O2 have billed me for a call I never made to a known #scam number in Nigeria 😡 The number begins 0901 - identified online as a scam!

  • LeighRussell Leigh Russell (@LeighRussell) reported

    Billed by @O2 for a call I never made to Nigeria. A quick look online shows it’s a #scam. The number begins 0901 a known scam 😡 yet It appears on my bill!

  • rustyblahblah RuSs aBboTt (@rustyblahblah) reported

    @O2 Maybe concentrate on your customer service on your app and actually respond in a reasonable time . only network that doesn’t have a proper chat or direct customer service number!! Actually left three network and wish i hadn’t for this!!!

  • antony_baker antony baker (@antony_baker) reported

    I thought moving back to @O2 from Three after 4 years would be a good idea, apparently not. My worst customer services experience in years, no one from @O2 is either willing or able to help me.

  • lydiaslack lyd (@lydiaslack) reported

    @O2 have the worst customer service, wish I never switched 🫠

  • CutchuSlow 🏳️‍⚧️CutchuSlow🏳️‍⚧️ (@CutchuSlow) reported

    @O2 can you not make a new plan for data users who use less minutes and texts. Which could help lower prices of our monthly plans? Like I want at least 500gb data without the unlimited mins or texts. No one uses these anymore as everyone switched to using online texts and calls.

  • kalinikita K A L I (@kalinikita) reported

    I hope @TalkTalk go bust so soon, it’s a tie between them and @O2 for worst service in the world

  • t75ony Tony Howitt (@t75ony) reported

    @O2 do you have a customer care email address please

  • emmachammond Emma Hammond (@emmachammond) reported

    @gi38928705 @O2 @TheO2 That is awful have you complained to the FSA? #O2MustDoBetter

  • yeti87788 Green (@yeti87788) reported

    @O2 Your Greggs offer isn't a real offer, is it? I go there on multiple mornings and it's already out of stock each morning! So dishonest of you to claim you are providing an offer when it's never actually available. Rip off sim deals and fake offers.
