  • Tom_NRawlings Tom Nichol-Rawlings (@Tom_NRawlings) reported from Locks Heath, England

    @O2 I’m getting concerned by the repetitive response on the question of esim & Apple Watch 4 support, I asked before I upgraded and was led to believe this would be in place first half of 2019, we r now approaching 3 months in & nothing’s changed (1)

  • northamsoul7 Ben Harding (@northamsoul7) reported from Wootton Bridge, England

    I assume we’re not paying a full months bill this month then @O2! Off until 23rd Feb with no warning of an outage! Your service is woeful!

  • ajayparekh68 Ajay Parekh (@ajayparekh68) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 absolutely absurd and disgraceful customer service. A small £15 debt becomes £41 in two months which now I cannot even pay through debt collection.

  • LeonJJDay Leon (@LeonJJDay) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 your service is a joke

  • Danny1972boy Daniel Blakey (@Danny1972boy) reported from Waterlooville, England

    @O2 it’s Glastonbury next weekend, really looking forward to it. Are you boosting the signal in the area to ensure there’s enough bandwidth

  • MatthewCaputo_ Matthew Caputo (@MatthewCaputo_) reported from Southampton, England

    absolutely SHOCKING service from @O2 during my time working in Southampton. Intermittent calls, terrible 4G.. all for a ‘service’ I’m paying EXTORTIONATE amounts for! I need my phone for work purposes and haven’t been able to use it!.. 😡

  • grannypatt Pat Waistnidge (@grannypatt) reported from Sandown, England

    @O2 I'm on holiday. Mainly use wi-fi at home. Never use my data, text or minutes allowance. I only need data when I am away with no hotel access to internet. Carrying forward allowances should be available.

  • XMoonfall 🌌Xantha Moonfall🌌 (@XMoonfall) reported from Southampton, England

    @O2 Yes please! I would love to update my Samsung, and I have been an O2 customer for years! Good luck everyone!

  • diamonddivabird sarah gilbert (@diamonddivabird) reported from Southampton, England

    Internet is messing me around. Not sure if its wifi @virginmedia or phone company @O2. It can take up to 3 days to get any notifications HELP PLEASE.

  • madonadventure Euan McGrath (@madonadventure) reported from Locks Heath, England

    @o2 appalling customer service. Trying to help my aged mother at a stressful time and you refused to assist. #poorCustomerservice #nohelp #mobileproviderwhodoesnotcare #nevereverusethem

  • ANeonRainbow Lee 🐈🤷‍♂️👀 (@ANeonRainbow) reported from Southampton, England

    @O2 Hello. I have tried to access chat but all agents busy. Since yesterday, I have had no data on my phone. I have tried to turn phone on and off and it is still not working! Can this be looked into, after all O2 are number 1 for customer service...🙄

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇲🇦🇬🇧 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    Given that virgin mobile use @EE's network and tesco use @O2's, it's not really fair to compare them to the other 4 for coverage #Watchdog @BBCWatchdog

  • TonyLewry1 Tony Lewry (@TonyLewry1) reported from Locks Heath, England

    @O2 your customer service operator just hung up on me and wasn’t being very helpful ......Where’s the phone I ordered Wednesday for Thursday collection ,still not available for me to collect 😡🤬

  • dazkimber d kimber (@dazkimber) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 literally the worst coverage going, get 4G and full bars in Portsmouth area but takes an age to load anything, 4 family phones on this network with same problem, will be moving all of these to another network. I swear they just sell more phones without the bandwidth to cope

  • B3Cx_ Becci (@B3Cx_) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @ethan_winter @O2 I pay £60 a month and can never use any of my data either🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • John_Ferrett Cllr John Ferrett (@John_Ferrett) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 thanks - signal now back and all my messages company coming through 🙄

  • petekitching Pete K. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇩🇪 (@petekitching) reported from Fareham, England

    @O2 Just been to store to upgrade 2 phones. Given price £10 a month each dearer than competitor. Not willing to match. How to lose a customer of 26 years in one easy lesson. Not good business. Even my insurers will negotiate to keep the good business of an easy customer.

  • shaunobrien_ Shaun O’Brien (@shaunobrien_) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 It’s everywhere in Portsmouth. I had this exact same problem when I lived here. As soon as I get to Havant, my phone is slow, takes forever to call out to anyone, phone doesn’t ring when people call me, internet is rubbish.

  • CharlieOake Charlotte Oake (@CharlieOake) reported from Fareham, England

    @O2 I have been into my local branch who have looked into this and was told ‘it does seem a bit much... you just need to pay’. Very unhelpful customer service im afraid to say

  • Tom_NRawlings Tom Nichol-Rawlings (@Tom_NRawlings) reported from Locks Heath, England

    Really feeling neglected by @O2. Shame to see their customer service drop to such poor levels - no responses to legitimate questions, no explanations for technical issues - disappointing at best

  • ChopperLamb Andy Lamb (@ChopperLamb) reported

    @O2 O2 doesn’t offer SMS via WiFi. I rely on this for a voluntary role I do. You’re charging me for a service I’m not receiving and to exit this you’re going charge me again.

  • Darren58564306 Darren Little (@Darren58564306) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia Well i have been a customer for years and you will now be losing my custom for getting into business with virgin media. Clearly you don't give a care about customers with this move !! Am furious and leaving!!

  • pierrev1z1 tankv1z1 (@pierrev1z1) reported

    @O2 your company took the wrong direct debit amount, sent me a letter from a debt collection agency and your credit referrals team has yet to email me a response from my email that I sent Monday gone, terrible, your company didn't even attempt to contact me for the pursual of £26

  • shadowstar240 Sarah Marie Jones (@shadowstar240) reported

    @O2 @Kaosdave1 Still no service and no indication of when it will be back. It's getting silly now.

  • evilvicks Inimitable Mrs M (@evilvicks) reported

    @O2 just wanted to say a massive thank you to Priscilla in the Cambridge Lion Yard shop yesterday for helping me sort of my upgrade. She was friendly and funny and I walked out with exactly what I wanted! Excellent customer service

  • Emz1978uk Emzzzzz (@Emz1978uk) reported

    @flossonline @O2 I totally agree. Loyal customer for 25 years here! But the only way I’ve managed to get a little surprise is posting either on Twitter or Instagram. Good luck! 👍

  • BeckyMarson Becky (@BeckyMarson) reported

    @O2 signal keeps dropping and battery running low every time use internet

  • TheBadSnail Brian (@TheBadSnail) reported

    @xxsammy02 @O2 Been with @O2 for years and never got a thing 🤬

  • wearingchris2 Chris Wearing (@wearingchris2) reported

    Hey, @O2. Is there any danger of having some network coverage back in the TQ3 area anytime soon please?

  • IPWillC William Charlesworth (@IPWillC) reported

    We’re now on 3rd SIM card and 12th day without network for my heavily pregnant wife who is unable to work from home for almost 2 weeks now. Despite @O2 reassuring tweet yesterday, she’s failed again to have any resolution and is now told it will be further 5 days.
