-
Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England@O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

-
Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, EnglandTell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?
-
Jacqueline (@JacquiDarling) reported from Bolton, England@O2 known issue affecting quality of calls and 4G reduced to 3 G. Spoke with your Helpdesk who are aware of issue in BL3 area but no fix date. Why am i paying for a service i cant use. Been told to use wifi or hotspot. Been happening fir weeks now.
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, EnglandAnyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@O2 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please
-
Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, EnglandWhy 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
-
Miss C-W (@miss_scw) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@O2 yet more poor signal on your network in my area, really fed up now.
-
Dan (@Dan05858044) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@O2 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews
-
James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?
-
Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England@BigLouComedy @O2 100% Gonna try the general sale on Saturday. Don't hold much hope but you never know
-
Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.
-
Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England@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

Gem🧣 (@gems_endgame) reportedIn the @O2 store to collect an online order. Every member of staff is dealing with complex CS queries and I’ve waited now 15mins to even get a hello and still not served. I thought that’s what calling o2 was for. Absolutely diabolical service.
-
Al (@RealAJG7) reportedHaving to buy a ticket cause @O2 ******* awful service means you can’t get into your train app in the middle of a major city in the uk, utterly useless *****
-
Darrell fletcher (@Fletchmeister81) reported@EE Its ok, after the last few months of poor service etc, ive decided that all phones will be cancelled when i can get the iphone 18, @O2 seem to be the best so far. You really need to train your instore staff and phone staff. Only decent store staff was ava in trafford centre
-
MrBazza 🎬 (@MrBazza) reported@O2 I have 3 mobile lines alongside volt package @VirginMedia broadband and an open complaint about contract rates. Your app is quoting me much more than what I currently pay! With Volt double data, I only need a low base plan. Please DM me to sort a fair deal.
-
Rhodri Davies (@RhodriD87) reported@O2 can you sort your app and website out! Won’t let me look at my upgrade and won’t allow me to chat to an advisor online! Looking like I might have to change network provider.
-
Peter Knowles (@PeteKnowles_) reported@O2 I have been hacked, my email compromised and deleted and your customer service lines are so bad - I’m trying to submit a complaint and your website won’t even accept it stating an error - total shambles.
-
Cody (@CodyButton77) reported@O2 STILL charging me for a phone contract that I finished payments for in December 2025. Cancelled the contract as shown on the @O2 website and still being billed monthly even after calling customer service 3 times. Very disappointed after being a loyal customer for many years.
