    I have been with @Vodafoneuk for nearly 20years and they do say “if it’s not broken..” but my favourite saying is “better late than never” hello @O2 (re refund service) when my phone contract is up!

  • raymond_smith11 Raymond Smith (@raymond_smith11) reported

    @O2 Its more about yourselves improving your coverage nationwide it's not about maintenance or my phone, as people with me over last few weeks have had same problems. In Somerset one of the party had @VodafoneUK & had 5g with good coverage. So if they can provide it, so can @O2

  • Emily_Dunn00 Emily Dunn (@Emily_Dunn00) reported

    @O2 hello, for some reason I can’t view how much data I have left on the app or internet. Can you please help with this? I should have 10GB left.

  • AmyLeighLucy LaurienA (@AmyLeighLucy) reported

    @O2 I have had no data service for a few days and now my o2 has stopped showing my data plan on my homepage. Trying to sign in on the website instead just showed me an error message. Please help!?

  • charlpardoe_x Charlotte (@charlpardoe_x) reported

    @sarahcliftonsc @O2 Sarah did you get response as I’m having same issue 1GB top up used in 4 days. CustmrSrv stating my data usage high at midnight when I’m connected to WiFi very odd & needs investigation.

  • steve66stevie66 Steve Devlin (@steve66stevie66) reported

    @O2 Still kicking that can down the street, weeks and Months go by O2 taking Customers money without giving access to data services. They’ve made it worse adding Virgin, Tesco & Gif Gaf and now giving data away free. £38.50 per month sim only and I’ve no data!!!

  • CSCu88 CS (@CSCu88) reported

    @O2 You didn't help did you. You just replied in private basically saying- look at the pitiful complaint Angela Haddington gave you and that is our final stance. £30 for debt threats, miss selling, no data or service, no resolution or timescales, failed callbacks. #shocking

  • Steven_Whiting Steven Whiting (@Steven_Whiting) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Service has cut out in local area but regardless of that the Hub 3 has no lights on. Spoke to CS & advised that they have no H3’s in stock to send out a replacement & that they can’t book an engineer in the system as there is an outage in the area meaning the booking will be ...

  • Steven_Whiting Steven Whiting (@Steven_Whiting) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Done the various usual tests RE checking if the plug socket is working etc and it all is. Defo the hub not working or the power cable faulty but without a spare no way to confirm
