  • scoobyhugh8 Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I’m in Newcastle for the weekend and could hardly get a service, keeping jumping from 1 bar on 5G onto 3G, couldn’t get into social media or online due to it buffering. What a waste of time moving to you from EE

  • LuckyTony72 Lucky Tony (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

    @O2 Got a call bar today. Absolutely shoddy customer service. Also I've waited a minimum of 20 minutes to speak to your alleged customer service agents who appear to be utterly inept to make a simple change.

  • TCHL Tim Luckhurst (@TCHL) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 I repeat: your customer service is appalling.

  • SophieBur492 Sophie burlinson (@SophieBur492) reported from Sunderland, England

    For an iPhone 12 Pro meant to be 5G since November I’ve had this phone. Have i got any signs? Absolutely not. It’s now 3G @O2 bad crack.

  • sarahhunter25 sarah hunter (@sarahhunter25) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 hi I need some help. I've just been given the #GalaxyWatch3 as a birthday gift. Its the 4g version where I need a e-sim. I've contacted customer services but I haven't a clue what to do can you help? Thanks. Sarah.

  • ScottSChristie Scott Christie (@ScottSChristie) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Is there an issue with signal in NE29 just now? Mine has been pretty bad for a couple of weeks now. Many Thanks.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • Leggler75 Emma (@Leggler75) reported from Gateshead, England

    My husband & I have been with @O2 for 15 years plus. Can’t believe the terrible service after using them & O2 recycle. 10 phone calls later no further forward. Kept phone & no money. Disgusting 😡

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • ppayne76 P Tumilty P (@ppayne76) reported from New Brancepeth, England

    @O2 how do I cancel Netflix that are extra charges on my number?

  • Richard_Y1 Richard (@Richard_Y1) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2, any particular reason why signal for mobile data is so poor/pretty much non-existent in the NE30 area?

  • TCHL Tim Luckhurst (@TCHL) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 your customer service is appalling. You should be ashamed.

  • scoobyhugh8 Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 how can your service be so poor in a city centre.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 I can’t login into my o2 app, it says I might be a bee customer and to wait 48 hours but I’ve been a member for years 🤔 it’s just randomly started doing this

  • TCHL Tim Luckhurst (@TCHL) reported from Durham, England

    @O2 Appalling customer service. An apology is required.

  • MattKeena 🏳️‍🌈Matt Keena🏳️‍🌈 (@MattKeena) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 are you going to reduce my bill, because the signal I’m receiving for £78 a month is shocking! Not happy

  • kathrynbaird_ Kathryn Baird (@kathrynbaird_) reported from Cramlington, England

    @O2 do you actually talk to your customers? I’ve been trying to contact you all week via the app, have called numerous times to be hung up on by an automated service and can’t get through to you at all. You’ve charged me twice for my bill & disconnected me even though I’ve paid!

  • yourmaaad yourmaaad (@yourmaaad) reported

    @O2 absolute shambolic performance from 02 payment management team I’ve just received! Outrageous and i Will never ever renew my contract with them again

  • dd69_west dd69WestGrezes (@dd69_west) reported

    @O2 Found them, thanks. I'm not happy to wait indefinitely without anything more than an automated response from that team. Its discourteous to not be acknowledged after the standard reply time has expired. I can get in at the top of the chain and have it pushed down if they like.

  • ShareefaEnergy Shareefa Energy (@ShareefaEnergy) reported

    Terrible @O2 service! Trying to get my elder friends number back on, he’s a Grenfell survivor with Alzheimers. The store staff on Kensington High St have been great helping but those we’re trying to pay his bill with have had us on the phone in circles for over an hour?! @Ofcom

  • TelfordLes Les Capon-Telford (@TelfordLes) reported

    Omg @O2 ask for basic help to get 4g in Toronto and what do we get go round in circles and no help. Plan is coming up and although I have been a customer for decades probably time to move to a more helpful provider

  • Leo89826702 Leo (@Leo89826702) reported

    @virginmedia I logged in. Had a message telling me to call 789. They are still investigating the complaint. 4g slower than 3g. Apparently a migration problem since swap from @VodafoneUK to @O2 The O2 mast is still out of action on the site it shares with 3 and Vodafone.

  • MagstersMusings Magster's Musings 🧚🏻‍♂️ (@MagstersMusings) reported

    @O2 I’m in Italy but my phone won’t pick up a network so I can use a satnav - is it because I have sim only contract?

  • stevehalluk Steve (@stevehalluk) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 As I said earlier. No one at virgin customer service either cares or has a clue what they are doing so it appears.

  • LollipopSucre SucreLollipop (@LollipopSucre) reported

    @O2 It’s over 30 days now and I haven’t heard back from 02 concerning this! God knows I will cancel my DD and stop paying if I don’t receive my refund!!

  • sofiawaleed1407 sofia (@sofiawaleed1407) reported

  • Juledog21 Julia (@Juledog21) reported
