    @O2 awful service. Called to pay my device plan in full, was on the phone for >1 hr spoke to 5 different people in 5 different teams that couldn’t help (Customer Service, Retentions, Payments, Billing & Upgrades). My dog would’ve give a better service than what I received today!

  • marikapaprik marico (@marikapaprik) reported from Walkden, England

    Please tell me @O2 why I have so many issues calling you up? You cut off my phone and every time I try to call up to get it reconnected it’s a damn hassle?

  • goughy84 Mark Lister (@goughy84) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 hi. I have Disney+ free till end month, when it then becomes £5.99. I saw on o2 offers I can add it for £3.99. Do I need to cancel and re add for the discount or will the £2 off auto apply when it becomes chargeable? Thanks

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Are you able to confirm, without directing me to your website (which doesn’t answer my question and does not help) when 5G will be available in Manchester? Thank you

  • claireshaw2188 Claire Louise (@claireshaw2188) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @O2 hello! I entered for 6 months free of Disney+ in July but never actually completed the registration on my account so will that have been activated or not? Could you check please

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Mottram in Longdendale, England

    @O2 hi, how can a serious look at serious lack of 4G signal strength be looked into? I've been advised to use the O2 signal checker which I have done and it always says that my area is at FULL signal strength. This just isn't the case. 4G since covid is atrocious :0(

  • DodgyValley Balcombe (@DodgyValley) reported from Walkden, England

    @O2 is there an issue with O2 data network centre of Sheffield at the moment, not been working last few hours

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 3 days trying to pay off my device plan and no one wants to help ! Keep being told I’m being put through to the call centre only to be put through to some working from home who can’t help #Disgraceful #cannotwaittoleaveo2

  • DWATKINSON Daniel Watkinson (@DWATKINSON) reported from Urmston, England

    So @O2 take the bar off my phone at 1700 hours and nearly 6 hours later the bar is still there even tho they told me it would be removed after 10 minutes, not like I need to use my phone or anything. I’ve only been a customer for 12 years and only spent about £5000 on them

  • sophiemaycath soph 🌞 (@sophiemaycath) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 trying to pay my phone bill and it's saying my Monzo bank card isn't an accepted payment method, tried using my Barclays but it's saying payment not working when I have the dolla in my bank? Xx

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @lmjwoww @O2 Exactly... their response didn’t help at all as I had already been on their website. I would say they don’t currently have 5G in Manchester. Contradicting the info on the website. 😡

  • DWATKINSON Daniel Watkinson (@DWATKINSON) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 are really frustrating me, I need my service restoring but can’t seem to do it right now

  • _Mikki1993 Mikki (@_Mikki1993) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I phoned and the woman I spoke with said the amount showing in 'usage cost' was my overall bill as opposed to being in addition to what was showed under 'handset cost' which I've never know to be the case before. Is this correct?

  • vic2979 Victoria Crompton (@vic2979) reported

    Can someone @O2 tell me how to get the credit from an o2 account back to my bank account without having to ring you up because as per usual your network doesn’t work and the people in the call centre can’t hear me 😡😡

  • thelongswim Karen Throsby (@thelongswim) reported

    Well done to the man at @O2 In Skipton for neither laughing nor rolling his eyes while resolving my “the SIM card doesn’t fit” problem by quietly slotting it in the right way round.

  • rettoclien Neil (@rettoclien) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 I’m not an O2 customer though, will they be able to help?

  • LiverpoolReds85 liverpool (@LiverpoolReds85) reported

    @O2 hi I have sent a message earlier regarding my wife number being swapped over to another network but not had a reply yet? Many thanks

  • mott1527 Hannah Mott (@mott1527) reported

    @O2 your insurance company customer service is terrible. I have spoken with 4 different people and still no further along with a claim. Advised to go to the o2 shop!

  • _littleimpulse 🦉 (@_littleimpulse) reported

    @O2 Hi, I’m unable to send texts. I have signal. I can receive texts & calls & another person with an o2 mobile can text me from their phone at the same address so it isn’t to do with service or coverage

  • charlsrhodes Charlie rhodes (@charlsrhodes) reported

    @O2 got a new iPhone 13 from you last week. Instantly got a bothway bar. Went into store they convinced me I could get a new iPhone 14 and return the 13. Customer service now not allowing me to return the 13 and I’m paying for 2 contracts. I’m within my 14 day. What’s going on!!

  • PaulWButler Paul Butler (@PaulWButler) reported

    @virginmedia As a loyal customer ~28 years I am being taken for granted. My bill last year was £107 per month, that was £80 to VM £27.99 to O2 this is changing to £134.33, with VM £101.50 and @O2 £32.83!! That’s over a 24% increase!! Completely unjustified! Does that help?

  • Shob_E E.S (@Shob_E) reported

    @O2 please can someone contact me asap about my phone. You guys have switched off my signal despite the multiple calls I have had with your team. I have had not had a working phone now for weeks
