  • kea11y Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

  • kjgreigy Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 No 4G barely works! I never get through a phone call without it cutting out

  • SteveVanDang Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

  • 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!

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

  • kjgreigy Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 hi i live in the postcode area OL9 , for the last 3/4 months the signal has been horrendous!! Lucky if I get 1 bar of 4G and once I can make a call I’m lucky if it doesn’t disconnect or if I move it cuts off… not great when paying a fair bit for a contract! #help

  • Dan05858044 Dan (@Dan05858044) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews

  • Mrs_G_Bowen Just Gem 💙 (@Mrs_G_Bowen) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 I have no issue with waiting so long as you will have it in stock? I was told next Saturday on the phone for delivery this am and then received an email to say it's not in stock. Hence the confusion 😕

  • violetibeh Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

  • liammcdon97 Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

  • kingpak93 Paul King (Kingy) (@kingpak93) reported from Glossop, England

    @O2 Have changed phones and need a micro sim card. Have PAYG with credit so want to keep same number and credit I have. Ordered a sim card online a week ago and nothing has arrived. Can you help please? New phone sat unused as can’t put standard size sim card in it.

  • leannt1984 Leann (@leannt1984) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @O2 I’m both a virgin media customer and have a pay monthly sim with O2 and i am struggling to sign up to Volt! Help!

  • howierice Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @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 ?!

  • souththaiexpat souththaiexpat (@souththaiexpat) reported

    Ordered a PAYG sim card a week to replace a phone at the end of its contract which never arrived but now you're unable to help me because I don't have access to the sim which never arrived... your South African call centre is terrible, so rude!!! @O2

  • sloppy_idiot Sophie Reynolds (@sloppy_idiot) reported

    @O2 an absolute joke of service for upgrade from start to finish. Topped off with going into store and not even being able to be given my new phone even though it was there!!

  • Natalie_JadeC Natalie Cooper (@Natalie_JadeC) reported

    @O2 I just LOVE my signal dropping out every 5 minutes. Paying £35 a month for 1 bar of signal. It’s actually ridiculous how such a big company has so many signal issues.

  • EmmaJTolley Mrs B (@EmmaJTolley) reported

    @O2 Tried calling sales, rerouted back to main menu. Did live chat! Took ages and webpage didn’t work. 2 iPads finally purchased in Black Friday deal and guess what?…….. OUT OF STOCK email 10 mins after I confirmed rules and regs! Awful process!

  • r3d_f1v3 Wayne Pedley (@r3d_f1v3) reported

    @O2 Help! Just order an item due for delivery tomorrow, but it's being sent to the wrong address. Can't talk to anyone, online chat seems to be closed, but the upfront payment appears to have gone through. Help! Urgently!

    @O2 Is there any issue atm with the m2 o2 website? Trying to sort my upgrade but keep getting timeout and/tarrif errors and having to refresh/restart the process

  • perinope P Nope (@perinope) reported

    @O2 @LlamaDramah Might as well change to a cheaper network then and buy our own drinks from the money saved.

  • Goingto_vegas Poker-chips-ahoy (@Goingto_vegas) reported

    @O2 next step, your complaints department. Your customer service is appallingly bad, you are selling phones you don't have in stock and 15 years loyalty down the pan. Jace tweeted my disgust so many times and I'm not sated. #poorcustomerservice
