    @O2 hey jokers, never mind officially coupling up with love island this year. FIX THE BLOODY PHONE SIGNAL IN CHESTER. I am beginning to hate you enormously.

  • RO55CO1 Ross Jones (@RO55CO1) reported

    @O2 still **** reception, no where near EE. Wish I never changed 😢

  • tmw1000 Tina Walsh (@tmw1000) reported

    Upgraded phone and tariff with @O2 today, sim from old phone backed up last week, assistant refused to put it in new phone ('googlemail won't be backed up'!!) and said to use 'smart switch'. Guess what - it doesn't work and am now left with two useless phones.

  • markmccanney1 ScotsLawyer (@markmccanney1) reported

    @O2 1. Customer services told me yesterday that the order was completed on their system but that the store didn’t have it. They offered me the option of cancelling and then going directly into store today to upgrade, which I did. On my system it is still showing as order in process.

  • mrichie10 Richard (@mrichie10) reported

    @driving_without @O2 I dunno I always stayed with Vodafone because at the time they were cheap plus they have helped me while at one time about 12 years ago I was struggling so they never cut my service or we worked out a payment plan I can’t forget that.
