  • 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.

  • SophieMDrake Sophie Drake (@SophieMDrake) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 It’s having to be escalated due to a back office technical fault, issue on My O2 and the account behind the scenes, so I’m without data when out of the house for up to 10 days. Not ideal really!

    @O2 I want to cancel my order with yourselves as the iPhone 12 pros are not included in the open discount.

  • longhairdsgtmaj Betsy Snow (@longhairdsgtmaj) reported from Wombourne, England

    @CPWTweets @O2 Why is it so hard to unlock an old CPW android phone, purchased through CPW but was on o2 sim/network. O2 say its CPW that need to unlock it, CPW say its O2, back n forth for 3 hours on live chat. Can one of you just get me a SIM network unlock PIN!! FFS!!

  • 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!!!😡

  • AlexJMorris2 Al Morris (@AlexJMorris2) reported

    @O2 Nope. Done that numerous times and it’s always the same outcome, never o2’s fault, why am I paying for 150gb of data when I can hardly ever use it due to the lack of signal everywhere?

    @O2 trying to call 444 today, never connected. Plenty of credit. Phone receiving calls, able to call other numbers so not a network issue. Any ideas?

  • ClaireMB72 Claire 🌺🍃 (@ClaireMB72) reported

    @O2 Is there any reason why your network service is getting worse by the day?

  • seeleyharris Rebecca Seeley Harris (@seeleyharris) reported

    . @O2 you cut my phone off in a SIM Swap screw up when I was on a 9 hour car journey on my own to a city I didn’t know. No signal, no internet! Livid!

  • tomtom14982872 TOM 🇬🇧 (@tomtom14982872) reported

    @EnglandRugby @O2 No Youngs or Daly. Great news, only about five years too late but we know jones is a little slow with team news so I get it #jonesout

  • MrAdz350 Adam Orton (@MrAdz350) reported

    @O2 It's always been like it, if you search for tweets "London bridge mobile signal" you will see Vodafone, EE and others have same problem.
