Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 After spending 6 hours trying to get hold of customer services, I ended up driving (and paying for parking) to go to one of your shops to get a sim swap. This apparently the only to get service working. Not the best of starts.

-
SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Dudley, England@TheOldDear @O2 @EnglandRugby You’d think it would be easy to provide a service considering they charge me……….. wait for it £67 a month. I get no signal at all most of the time. Yet apparently engineers are working on it.
-

-
Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 Hi, I completely appreciate the guidance there but, no, it doesn't. When I got through three weeks ago, your colleague was going to escalate my query. I never got the promised call back, hence me trying more recently.

Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I think my mom had the same text the other day. So had to help her by marking as spam and blocking it.
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 just changing to O2 as I opted for deal with Virgin. Disappointed with how poor your coverage is locally in the B90 area. Where I had over 200mbits 5G with three, I am now lucky to get 20mbits with O2. Do you have plans to improve your network? Have I made a mistake?
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@o2.

-
320x200 (@The320x200) reportedThe UK phone company @O2 doesn't properly validate email addresses and sends customer info to other random people if they sign up with the wrong email. Contacted them twice and they haven't stopped sending me all this customer's personal information.
-
Melly P (@mellypeters) reportedFinally after 4 weeks someone contacts me @O2 and we agree compensation for the problems that I have and the money is to be put back into my account within five working days and guess what? You’ve put it on a credit on my account. You can’t even get that right.
