    Avoid @o2 at all costs they are the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with absolutely zero customer service no choice other than to cancel

  • chrisrogan
    Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

    @O2 when are you going to fix the mobile signal in Manchester? Hardly anything in the city centre and I need to rely on Wi-Fi. Definitely not worth what I’m currently paying for it

    @O2 which idiot authorises sending out texts at 4 o’clock in the morning to update me about my phone order? Get real.The person needs punching or sacking or both!

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

    Is it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

    @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?

    Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

    @l3479s @O2 Where I live our network masts haven't been working for almost a year - no answer for it whatsoever

    @O2 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍

    @O2 Doesn't surprise me, your service is shocking!!!!!

  • JMcKnighty
    ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  • 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!

    @O2 @virginmedia you have ruined O2, the signal, the prices, the network and the MyO2 app with you absolute morons 😤

  • MikeRoberts68
    Mike Roberts (@MikeRoberts68) reported

    @O2 And I cannot send a DM to O2 as they are not following me, which surely they know. So just another example of being fobbed off, but, looking to the general public like they are trying to help! O2 - Don't tell me to DM you when you know I cant!

  • MikeRoberts68
    Mike Roberts (@MikeRoberts68) reported

    @O2 I have come to the conclusion that O2 make their complaints process and Customer Service contact process so difficult (almost impossible) in the hope that most Customers just give up. Pretty sure the Customer Service staff are trained to just hang up on Customers! Appalling!

  • HAHarveyAuthor
    HollyAHarvey Author (@HAHarveyAuthor) reported

    Had to move from @O2 due to terrible local service/not getting texts when they're sent - they've charged me £25 for the privilege of moving to a provider who *will* let me communicate via text. 🙄

  • JPBOLDY
    JonTheJoker76 (@JPBOLDY) reported

    @O2 so prices have increased and I've got absolutely rubbish service, supposed to he on 5g plus service max speed mobile data 0.5meg and 1 bar on mobile for voice, time to go to another provider when contract ends in june

  • DeeBrow47820756
    Dee Brown (@DeeBrow47820756) reported

    @O2 @AlanRob68902430 The merger combined O2's mobile network with Virgin Media's broadband business to create a major integrated communications provider in the UK." Must be nice to.earn so much from pensioners. £60 a month for a 2 year old phone.

  • TheDesirePathUk

    @O2 why isn't your myo2 website not working. When will it be fixed? I can't login to see my bills or view my contract.

  • TheSmoothBooth

    @JaneEyreAtHeart @O2 Had the same issue? Received a text saying 80% of data used. Same message a week later and 36 hours after that no data. O2 are denying there’s any issue but I know of other people who are losing data overnight when it’s not been used.

  • Ash42055
    Rebecca Ashcroft (@Ash42055) reported

    @O2 I can’t believe I have spent over 2 hours in the last 3 days to customer service team to sort out my airtime plan for my new watch which was cancelled by an advisor by accident on Tuesday. Still no answers and still no airtime plan for my watch. Customer service is rubbish.
