    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why 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

  • mars_silva_
    Márcio Silva (@mars_silva_) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, 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

    @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.

  • Aidan1964
    Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported

    @O2 I've been trying to get proof of purchase on phone for months now. I've been promised emails but nothing happens. I'm no longer an O2 customer, but the phone was part of a contract

  • darrangilpin

    @comingupstorrie @O2 It's an absolute joke. I've been in the same boat since Friday. You'd think it was a simple fix.

  • susieshrew
    Suzanne Shrewsbury (@susieshrew) reported

    @O2 appalled by your customer service. You left my daughter phone-less whilst travelling, all because your ineffective record-keeping could not provide her with the info that she needed for her insurance. You cost her a lot of money, & we never got to the bottom of the issue!!

  • Uptowndiscos
    Uptown entertainment discos (@Uptowndiscos) reported

    @O2 I did put on my message 02 business customer

  • burnt__toast_
    Adam 'Toast' Taylor (@burnt__toast_) reported

    @O2 I haven’t changed the sim, I was told that wouldn’t need to and one wasn’t going to be sent out. I’ve had intermittent signal for calls and no 4G or 5G at all since then!

  • KimmyMurray1982
    Kimmy Murray (@KimmyMurray1982) reported

    So I sent my phone back to @O2 & surprise they said no fault. Had it back & surprise still faulty. Can someone please give me contact information of where to make a complaint regarding this?

  • fatblokejimbo
    James Murton (@fatblokejimbo) reported

    @O2 The new My O2 app is useless on I Phone ! Can’t pay my bill on it - please help ASAP as not getting anywhere.

  • gemnicolson
    Gemma (@gemnicolson) reported

    @O2 account locked for security issues? I’ve called multiple times and always told a ticket has been raised yet next time I phone they know nothing! 2 month + this is going on for now! Account for 16 years - ridiculous service!

  • Alexscott066
    Alex scott (@Alexscott066) reported

    @O2 Tried manually to select 3 different networks, all gave same response of "your Sim won't allow you to connect to this network". My phone, on a similar tariff , has had no problems. The same thing happened on a trip to Oz last year. Turned out the 'system' had put a 'block' on.
