    @O2 Work was meant to be completed last week! Do I move to a better mobile company or are you going to improve the service???

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

    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?

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

  • LukeAMarsden

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

    @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.

  • DAbrahamNewman
    Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @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 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

    One week with @O2 and still no service on my phone. Now been told I gotta wait upto 7 days for the issue to be sorted. Very poor . Back to three I think #disappointing

    @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?

  • alwaysshaw1
    Robert Shaw (@alwaysshaw1) reported

    @O2 I always have issues and I’ve made so many complaints and they seem to never go anywhere. I can wait to leave you for good! #O2ARECRAP

  • Happyengland79
    Shana Hendry (@Happyengland79) reported

    Yet again @O2 your mast is not working! You're a ******* embarrassment of a company, ripping people off because you're not providing the service you are being paid for. Trampy behaviour at it's finest. #evidenceforombudsman

  • FrazzzYT
    Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported

    I recommend avoiding @O2 as a mobile provider. Cut my services off yet they've gotten payment on 4th. Am told my services won't be restored UNTIL the 13th because they can't "find" the payment. Bank has given them the details they need. Can't even call the doctor, complaint it is

  • pussyisgvd
    jess (@pussyisgvd) reported

    @O2 absolutely useless. paid for my rolling plan 3 days ago. it still hasn’t updated and now I have no data, impossible to get through to their customer service

  • coomerdarren
    Darren Coomer (@coomerdarren) reported

    @O2 I'm absolutely pissed off with O2 i can't log in to my app as its asking for virgin media login details which I don't have an account with 2 calls to customer services & just a waste of time

  • WoodpeckerMandP
    Blueflyer (@WoodpeckerMandP) reported

    @O2 Get a grip and get somebody to call me who can actually do something, this is shocking now and as I’ve said, I will never ever go anywhere near you ever again. Sort it out

  • Gilly2028
    Richard Giles (@Gilly2028) reported

    @O2 I’ve recently moved from Sky Mobile to O2, I can’t believe O2 actually charge you for sending MMS messages in 2026, 87p a message. Bear in mind Sky piggy back off of O2, I’ve never been charged for MMS.😳 😮 Have I made a big mistake moving to O2?

  • jachantler
    Jacob Chantler (@jachantler) reported

    @O2 I signed up yesterday but my existing mobile number was typed incorrectly so I’m not receiving the Myo2 activation code because it’s being sent to an incorrect number - I’ve tried to call Customer Support but I can’t receive the verification code because my number is wrong
