    @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.

  • RuxanaNargol Ruxana Nargolwala (@RuxanaNargol) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @hellyarrj @O2 Having the same problem. #o2 should deal with this. Totally unacceptable.

  • doc_drops Andros 👾👾👾 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 my sim stopped working, I can’t ring 202, can’t go to your shops and your live chat is down. Please help

  • engg_rky Raj (@engg_rky) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    As expected @EE never cares about customer relationship and thus had not replied. @VodafoneUK @O2 if you have better options for me with 500 min India calls per month then please contact me I will port my number

  • andyphilipson Bilbo Gubbins (@andyphilipson) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Hey I just received a text claiming to be from yourselves saying there’s been a problem processing my bill and gives me a link to update my payment details. Pretty sure it’s fishing as my details haven’t changed. Can you confirm if I DM you a screenshot? Cheers.

  • 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!

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

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

  • timlibrarian Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) reported from Bearpark, England

    I suspect if I cancelled the three direct debits I pay every month to @O2 they’d find time to get in touch with me. Help with setting up a new phone when their online SIM swap is banjaxed, not so much.

  • VictoriaMurtha Victoria Murtha (@VictoriaMurtha) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Currently trying to upgrade my phone. No online agents available, if I visit the store will there be someone available to help me?

  • rebeccajadetho1 Rebecca Thorne (@rebeccajadetho1) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @O2 It’s still not working

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

    @O2 I repeat: your customer service is appalling.

  • fredspoon philip (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    Lots of companies doing their bit to help. I got an email from @O2 this morning and how they are helping is allowing people to access the @NHSuk websites without using your data. Whoopy ******* doodle do. I can’t wait it’s like Christmas all over again.

  • headcoverlova Paul Frampton (@headcoverlova) reported from Bearpark, England

    @O2 really bad customer service to offer a free streaming service a lot of families could use right now only for new customers. Other networks offering free services for all customers. Make me think you don’t value loyal customers at all

  • nossy1996 Gracie (@nossy1996) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @MyUNiDAYS @O2 I am trying to activate the JBL discount but no money seems to get deducted at checkout... plz help, I’m desperate for a new speaker

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

    @O2 Appalling customer service. An apology is required.

  • 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 😡

  • doc_drops Santa Drops is coming to Toon 🎅🎅 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    You’re rolling out 5G when Newcastle doesn’t even have basic coverage, I have a 50GB contract with you and barely manage to use 2GB a month due to lack of signal/searching for free Wifi @O2

  • _RebeccaJT Rebecca (@_RebeccaJT) reported from Sunderland, England

    @O2 can someone please give me a response to a query, I have had an automated reply in dm which not helpful in anyway. I have tried my o2 app and it doesn’t help. I have also tried ringing o2 just keep getting cut off.

  • AngieOrrick Angie Orrick (@AngieOrrick) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @O2 you have the worst customer service ever encountered! If I could stop paying you I would! That’s your shop and by telephone

  • sheilavictoriaR Sheila Robson (@sheilavictoriaR) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @O2 Listen mate the signals awful, get 3g on a iphone13 pro, i might aswell be using a nokia 3210

  • Ezrolith Peter Heeks (@Ezrolith) reported

    @O2 Hi, I'm having some trouble with an order and I need to speak to someone urgently, when I phone your CS team they put me through to your sales team, and the sales team put me back through to the CS team. I've requested a call back from the CS team but heard nothing - help!

  • empiricaltony89 Tony (@empiricaltony89) reported

    @O2 Wondering if you can help me. I upgraded my sim only contract this morning in the Giltbrook store. Was told to put the new SIM card in my phone. But now I can’t call incoming or outgoing. I can text and have data though. Is this normal after upgrading? As the staff didn’t say

  • pherlopolus Phullup (@pherlopolus) reported from Telford and Wrekin, England

    Twice in 2 days I come across an epos system that isn't fit for purpose. Small cafe hadn't got bacon on the breakfast options, and @O2 not being able to sell an existing customer 4 data Sim contracts, despite proving I was a director. Needed a letterhead!

  • willie375 Will G (@willie375) reported

    @O2 Can’t make calls or use 3/4G on my phone, network checker says the services are active in the Ballyclare area. Any chance of this getting sorted as I can’t even call CS

  • southg8lad D-a-v-i-d ✨ (@southg8lad) reported

    @GreggsOfficial I just activated my @O2 priority free breakfast roll code to use at your Walworth Road branch but their systems were down and they were cash only so wouldn’t accept my code. What a waste of a walk there. Friday ruined. 🤬

  • iamdvlan dylan feels it. (@iamdvlan) reported

    .@O2 pls sort out your network, its actually appalling at the moment.

  • ryanyates1990 Ryan (@ryanyates1990) reported

    Not what I needed from @o2 as I've seemingly had my sim disconnected for no reason sometime in the night. I can't even ring customer services to see what's happened. Leaves me unable to call docs/111/ etc whilst I've been unwell the last few days, which ain't great really.

  • connoorrlewis Connorlewis... (@connoorrlewis) reported

    Is it just me or is @O2 signal absolutely **** everywhere?

  • v8fettler Craige Timmins (@v8fettler) reported

    @O2 All I want is an Invoice/receipt for a phone I bought (not the credit agreement or schedule), why is it impossible to navigate to a contact solution online??? Bloody ridiculous…
