    @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!

  • DAbrahamNewman Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

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

  • atlr Alexander Robinson (@atlr) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi. Yes, she is unable to relay the code to me. I was also told that, in order to cancel the account entirely, I’d also have to relay a code. I registered a security word when I set the account up. I’ve provided this. But I am still unable to admin/run my account. This is crazy.

  • malllmallll Mario Alghatta (@malllmallll) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

  • stuartmacey Stuart Macey (@stuartmacey) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Well they have just screwed up my number port from EE and the customer reps make me feel like I have done something wrong. Told it would be addressed urgently, by which they mean 3 to 5 days. They were not impressed when I said I hope you don’t need urgent medical attention.

  • JaneBendall Jane Bendall (@JaneBendall) reported

    @O2 have spent over 3 hours this afternoon trying to cancel a contract that I thought had ended 18 months ago, have spoken to 4 different people but still haven’t cancelled contract. At one point after an hour and a half phone line was disconnected. Absolutely not good enough

  • sallystrawb2 sallystrawb (@sallystrawb2) reported

    @O2 I don’t have an o2 number but am a virgin media customer … it won’t let me past the “o2 number “ part of the prize draw page

  • stuartmacey Stuart Macey (@stuartmacey) reported

    @O2 No I’m afraid it’s Virgin Mobile. Simply put if it’s not resolved by tomorrow I shall look to move back to EE. I shall also take my two existing mobile accounts away plus my broadband, landline and tv. Absolutely appalling customer service over this matter and hours waisted

    @O2 hello. Trying to redeem the benefits of being an o2 customer and virgin media customer, but each website keeps sending me back to the other, complete circles! What do I need to do?!

  • melioramark Mark Grimshaw (@melioramark) reported
