  • conorcole Conor (@conorcole) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 will someone please help me!!! Bloody useless o2

  • crazysamsam Samantha Thompson (@crazysamsam) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Your customer service has been awful at this difficult time @O2. We had to call your bereavement department so many times to sort out the bill you said you’d wave, and this has caused us much stress and anxiety. To then contact us again on FATHER’S DAY is extremely cruel.

  • ChrisSammons_ Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @TelefonicaUK @MarkEvansO2 I have full signal...and 4G

    @O2 my son has changed network provider from o2 to ee. Waiting 5 days now for tel no to be transferred. Unable to get thru and no response to messages. Its crucial he has a working phone especially at this time. Shameful customer service.....

    @rachaelxspragg @O2 My update was via Email - BECAUSE I HAVEN’T SIGNAL SINCE MARCH 3RD 😂

  • macwool paul woolley (@macwool) reported from Brownhills, England

    @O2 I’m unable to remember my security question answer in order to change my password to view my a/c the system won’t accent any answers to other questions & customer care is unobtainable. It’s rubbish & unhelpful. I feel very cross!!!😡

  • Villandrew Andrew Horton (@Villandrew) reported from Solihull, England

    @villa19799 @O2 My mrs Is with @O2 and signal and 4G has been horrific lately, I’m on @virginmedia and have had no issues whatsoever .

  • PsyFean Joe Furley (@PsyFean) reported

    @O2 that would be great......if my 4G wasn't at a crawl as previously stated...! My WiFi is down and I am trying to use 4G but to no avail. I would please ask that you check for me as your link won't load

  • bycandlelight27 BCL27 Design (@bycandlelight27) reported

    @O2 That's great, It has software and battery issues. I'm hoping I can just get a replacement one.

  • TweeterGuyJ Ronald Fart (@TweeterGuyJ) reported

    @O2 Every time I go on google. Same with my parents. Only an o2 problem.

  • PsyFean Joe Furley (@PsyFean) reported

    @O2 much worse on 3ag unfortunately, I'll just have to make do until the line issue is fixed

  • Duma4ne Dumayne (@Duma4ne) reported

    @O2 why tf is your service so ****?

  • coeus1982 Steven Earnshaw (@coeus1982) reported

    @O2 3 calls to you to buy a@£1200 iPad. For a customer with 5 accounts and trying to get a good deal, you certainly take the piss. Cut off once, put on hold for 30 minutes second time and messed about the third. Think its time to move all my business. #o2

  • 66usual Steve Lightfoot 💙 (@66usual) reported

    @O2 @richardpayne94 I was just about to say the same Richard, but @O2 won't help - they'll just tell you the service is as expected. They are perfectly happy to take your cash and offer a crap signal in return.

  • andythursby Andy Thursby (@andythursby) reported

    @O2 I was expecting it to arrive on Friday & meant to be away from home from Monday, wanted it with me. I’ve no idea if it will be or not. If I ordered from other places, I’d have some clue, as opposed to yourselves. Surely there should be something better, for the customer journey?

  • gurnhill1 David (@gurnhill1) reported

    @O2 I'm trying to pay my last bill but cannot login to my account ,I am no longer with O2 so can't use your app,it keeps saying wrong code

  • TravelBadger1 brock (@TravelBadger1) reported
