    1st prize for worst customer service goes to Vodafone. Lied too 3 times, spent a 70mins on chat then to be told to call 191 only to sit on hold for 40mins... I’m done with their ****. any other mobile providers want my business? @VodafoneUK @EE @O2

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 when will the 4G signal be back to normal working order? Is COVID still a factor in this? I'm sure the signal strength was cut short due to more people working at home etc.

  • williamsXbaby Ryan Williams (@williamsXbaby) reported

    Hello @O2 , can you please explain to me why I've spent all morning on the phone to 4 different people at your call center with my complaint only to be told the robots won't work right. Passed from pillar to post with my complaint and got absolutely nowhere.

  • Steve_Red_Beard Red Steve (@Steve_Red_Beard) reported

    @O2 you said current contracts wouldn't change, how come I got an email stating tariffs are going up again in August. They already went up once this year, so your raising twice in one year ? But you still offer sub par service, you lot have a cheek. Thank God I'm getting rid

  • EarlGrey_79 Earl of Greatness (@EarlGrey_79) reported

    @O2 I've had no signal for over twelve hours. I need to speak to someone about this quite urgently; please can you help?

  • TheSteveShenton Stephen Shenton (@TheSteveShenton) reported

    @O2 The app works but I don't always have my phone to hand. I would still like to be able to access the website. It doesn't work with any computer or browser.

  • cedgson91 Catherine Edgson (they/them) (@cedgson91) reported

    Moved house :) However it appears the internet is having some issues 🤨 @TPLINK Any advice on dongles/hotspot/mobile broadband? @O2

  • elise_john85 Elise (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    @O2 I can’t get 4g indoors, some days barely 3G. I have to reset the network settings 2-3 each week. I’ve been with @o2 a long time but I’m considering moving elsewhere once this contract ends

  • Scrumpyjen87 Jen Fielder (@Scrumpyjen87) reported

    @AndyNayler @TalkTalk Same here Andy. I had about 3 hours of connection and then it cut out again. It's a good job I've got a good @O2 data plan as I'm having to use that to work from home rather than my actual Internet connection!

  • Life360 Life360 (@Life360) reported

    @SparklyG @O2 Hi, we are not seeing the DM from you. Can you please send another DM to Life360 only with the email address on your account and a description of the problem? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks! ~Kris

  • theandycooke Andy (@theandycooke) reported from Barnsley, England

    @O2 On the commute into Sheffield I had issues with signal, at time went to 3G (I can’t remember the last time I saw 3G with @EE). I also had some signal issues whilst at work in the centre of Sheffield & didn’t once achieve a 5G signal.

  • watseyG Watsey (@watseyG) reported
