  • KhrysKJ KK-J (@KhrysKJ) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 yet another upgrade blunder!! Went to the trafford centre store asked about phone comparisons, the advisor had no idea.. Asked about the contract "above my pay grade mate" seems all she wanted to do was sell me a watch.. Very poor!!!

  • Andfie Andrew Fielding (@Andfie) reported from Bolton, England

    Delighted to announce this household is now an @O2 free zone. Finally rid of their shocking customer service and outrageous roaming fees. #ikeepmyword

  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @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.

  • MDOG_Manchester Manchester Dining Offers (@MDOG_Manchester) reported from Manchester, England

    @oneladyshow @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK Honestly, couldn’t even send this tweet in city centre if I was on O2 Something about a mast being down. For three years. Simple reason is, they don’t have enough coverage here so they lie about it.

  • suemcgran Sue McGranaghan (@suemcgran) reported from Manchester, England

    @oneladyshow @O2 That’s true - friends I have who are on other networks don’t have this problem so not sure it’s because it’s busy x

  • Mr_NickBowe NB (@Mr_NickBowe) reported from Wilmslow, England

    Turns out I've been blocked from O2 and my phone blocked off the network because I work shifts and couldnt answer my phone. Now I cant even ring their 24 hour helpline to sort it out. @O2

  • dondon_w Donna (@dondon_w) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 was meant to swap my number over to you guys from 3 network but you haven't!!! So that means I'm still running two phone contracts! My 3 contract ended on monday!! They wont cancel my contract until the number swap is done !! Please help!

  • oneladyshow Charlie (@oneladyshow) reported from Salford, England

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK I have been with them around 15 years too and I can’t even message people sometimes in the city centre. They offer absolutely no help whatsoever just same old bullshit replies

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 Hi, yes I’ve spoken to someone but it’s still not sorted out . I’ve to ring back again which is awful. I was sent the wrong phone I sent it back Monday and it’s still not been received . I paid my last phone off so I could upgrade . I’ve been billed fo the wrong phone as well .

  • Shell_Boudin86 Michelle Boudin (@Shell_Boudin86) reported from Bury, England

    @JoJo_P_87 @O2 Not that I ever win them lol but would be nice to actually have something around the north west if I was to win .. Although never had an #O2Surprise either and been a customer 15yrs lol

  • dondon_w Donna (@dondon_w) reported from Oldham, England

    @craigrookleeds @O2 Well I'm on 3 and my contract ends tomorrow. I got another phone the other day on 02 but when I put the sim in I've got no network lol. I've asked to swap my number to 02 so I'll see if I get a network tomorrow

  • lizkellettuk Elizabeth Kellett (@lizkellettuk) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @O2 Hi there. I’ve requested my code to cancel my contract as it seems that’s the only way. Please can you PM me as I have still received a bill. Thanks.

  • JohnAHallam66 John Hallam (@JohnAHallam66) reported from Manchester, England

    @o2. You just cut me off. Monday, you've used 80% of your data. Ok, 6 days to go. Fine. Thursday, cut off. Time to change provider, after many years. Really piss poor service.

  • JonNutten Jon Nutten (@JonNutten) reported from Salford, England

    Think it’s time to go to @ThreeUK well over a decade with @O2 / @o2businessuk and they not really fussed about loyalty, customer service. The line used ‘it is what it is’ when I spoke to them about my contract options. 😂😂

  • TimPartridge2 {{{Tim}}} (@TimPartridge2) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please cancel contract for my number. That’s you notified.

  • kates2091 Kate Elliott (@kates2091) reported from Salford, England

    The problem with @O2 marketing messages will always be that my reaction to them is to swear at my phone and say ‘It’s not even possible for me to have used up my data yet’. And then I don’t read them. #ThoughtOfTheDay #TuesdayThoughts

  • JusticeBenson JUSTICE O.🇳🇬🇬🇧 (@JusticeBenson) reported

    I am very shocked and sad that @O2 have decided to charge me for texting an 079 number in the U.K. I wonder how many loyal customers they have done this to. Customer service has not been great. I'm still waiting for a Manager to call me back, its been 1 week already. #O2

  • OlGingerBastard Ol Ginger Bastard (@OlGingerBastard) reported

    @O2 Why are you advertising next working day delivery when you are not delivering? Been waiting 3 days now - no updates, stuck on 'order being processed' and your online help people are no help at all. FALSE ADVERTISING!

    Hey @O2 , question!! My iPhone 12 Pro max has issues when turning on or off, it glitches and taken ages to do either .. is this a fault in the software or a phone issue ? #apple #iPhone

    @O2 I SWEAR TO GOD IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU!! Absolutely ******* typical... all of you cellular providers are as bad as each other when it comes to needing to speak to customer service!! 😡 Your stupid automated system keeps hanging up! I hope it gets hacked🖕
