  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

  • 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

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • clare_jeffs Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

  • JonnyGravel jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • GoaterBilly Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England

    @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!

  • bodsy0 Mike Bowden (@bodsy0) reported from Stockport, England

    @o2 you really need to change your 'on-hold' music #terrible 😎

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • dobirmiah ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • DaveWrigh Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

  • 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.

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    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?

    @O2 My data is not working. Unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi I cannot do any browsing. Is there an issue?

  • think4urselfpls Diamond Thomas (@think4urselfpls) reported

    @O2 Errrmmm….following the bungle with the app not working this morning, my Greggs treat says it’s been redeemed. Considering I couldn’t even get into the app til now, how is this tomfoolery possible? 🤨 Are there data breaches???

  • jmc20193 jmc2019 (@jmc20193) reported

    @O2 What an absolute joke! How can you possibly have sold out all over the UK when your app was down all day. Who have you sold them to? Touts? Funny how they can always get hold of them. Disgraceful

  • SimonLebeau7 Simon Lebeau (@SimonLebeau7) reported

    @O2 Can you respond to my complaint in your DM’s please or I will be forced to contact OFCOM and Trading Standards about my complaint.

  • mckjerral DaVe (@mckjerral) reported

    @idlewildgirl @O2 Have you tried switching 5g off? O2 have a real capacity issue. But downgrading can just make it work. Phone signal itself should be ok.

  • beatsisbass CJ Beattie (@beatsisbass) reported

    @O2 you're a joke of a company and I'm not even a customer nor have i ever been one, your fraud team need to sort their **** out. #avoido2 #o2areawful

  • bexydoodles rebecca jones (@bexydoodles) reported

    @O2 you must have the worst customer service I've ever known! Cancelled my direct debit then I can't get through to anybody to sort the issue out! How are your agents busy at 7.01am when it only opens at 7am?!

  • Stacey_Aylmore plastering stace (@Stacey_Aylmore) reported

    @CooperativeBank @O2 Unfortunately this is becoming a regular occurrence now supplying a service not fit for purpose

  • huzyb Huzyb (@huzyb) reported

    @O2 Hey, I have had a replacement sim card In April. My phone is a Samsung s20 ultra. I have put other sim cards in my phone and it worked flawlessly. Other people in my area are experiencing the same issue with o2.

  • LitherlandJane Jane Litherland (@LitherlandJane) reported

    @O2 I’m o2 and virgin customer as well as being on Arena list but I haven’t had an heads up

  • Oliviasays_ Olivia and Dad (@Oliviasays_) reported
