  • 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

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I was supposed to get a free upgrade every 12 months but your "problems with supply" last year meant that I didn't get my new phone for over a month after I requested it, so my refresh date is a month later, which pushes it past my annual christmas trip. It's a farce.

  • ilovefluffy Andrew Willis (@ilovefluffy) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    The speeds I’m getting from Sky Fibre Max are appalling too, sometimes I can’t even use it, it’s so awful, like scraping the barrel speeds and connectivity which just isn’t worth it. @O2 to the rescue here though because their 4G tether speeds are usually faster than Sky Fibre.

  • 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.

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

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

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

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

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

    @O2 Appalling customer service. An apology is required.

  • 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

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

    @O2 I repeat: your customer service is appalling.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 so… appalling service, no signal abroad, no signal at home… thought I might try to refresh my phone but it turns out that I can’t because last year there was a delay in getting my phone to me so my usual refresh date in October has been pushed back til November!

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    So to be straight: because @O2 have been terrible for over a year, I can’t refresh my phone until after I get back from my Christmas trip! You’re very VERY quickly losing a customer here and I’ve been with o2 for nearly 15 years.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @2bard @intueldonsquare @northumbriapol You're right in normal circumstances, however my phone signal keeps cutting out while @O2 are upgrading to 5G, last week a man had a seizure in front of me and I was getting repeatedly disconnected from the emergency services while trying to get an ambulance.

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

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

  • HaroonC7 Haroon Chaudhry (@HaroonC7) reported

    @virginmedia Mark from Glasgow, Barry from Glasgow and Aliyah from god knows where have all not bothered to return any calls. I am honestly t has ashamed by the service that has been provided by @virginmedia and @O2 having allowed this mid-selling to happen. They lure you in with promises.

  • Treehk2 Treehk (@Treehk2) reported

    @O2 Good for you. At least you are doing one thing right for your customers to make up for your dire customer service.

  • funkytrampoline Emma Jones (@funkytrampoline) reported

    @O2 hi there, my pay as you go has suddenly stopped letting me send messages to some short code numbers for competitions. I have credit and it still lets me send them to some short codes. Please could you help?

  • LexiPotato104 LexiPotato (@LexiPotato104) reported

    @O2 I'm having some issues with 4G :c

  • Treehk2 Treehk (@Treehk2) reported

    @Tractorboy7881 @VMO2News @O2 Good luck with a Manager calling you back. Was told in 48 hours then when I called to say they didn’t call was told they would report it again and would call me in 72 hours. Has gone on for weeks. Dire service

  • itsamandared 🏰 (@itsamandared) reported

    It took me 3 long calls to find out that @O2 made a mistake and I was charged more when on the previous calls people were telling me I had a refund that I never should have gotten but there was none. I lost half of my day and I still have to pay extra for a mistake O2 made.

  • lukescarif beth 🌟 (@lukescarif) reported

    help @o2

  • DougAlldred Doug Alldred (@DougAlldred) reported

    Wondering if anyone @O2 or @giffgaff can explain why mobile internet shows as 4G but simply doesn't work in Newport, IW (PO30), and has been that way for about 18 months?

  • confuzzeled1989 Jess Crosby (@confuzzeled1989) reported

    Worst experience with @O2, trying to get incorrect defaulted payment removed from my @Experian_UK score (which they verbally agreed it was incorrect). I haven't been a customer for 3+ years!! Be careful people, still trying to get this resolved a month later! #awful

  • mark1em Mark Middleton (@mark1em) reported

    @O2 can you please give me the contact details for your complaints department? As your customer services have just advised me that you don’t have one, and is unable to understand the simplest of requests
