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

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I need to cancel 2 expired phone contracts on my account before my new o2 phone contracts become active but can't get to use the contact o2 online chat. Can you sort this for me?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • A11RNX Amran Ashraf (@A11RNX) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Hi. I’ve left O2 in September when my contract expired and switched to another provider. I was billed in September in error and I spoke to someone who refunded the difference from when my contract expired. I have today received a debt recovery letter???? Can someone help!

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

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

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

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

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

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

    @O2 I repeat: your customer service is appalling.

  • 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

  • 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 😡

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

    @O2 Appalling customer service. An apology is required.

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

  • D_RKirkpatrick Dale Kirkpatrick (@D_RKirkpatrick) reported

    @ConnaireMcG @O2 If you turn on "WiFi Calling" then assuming your WiFi is decent, then it shouldn't be a problem. That's how I got round always flipping to O2 Ireland down in the Point

  • WestlifeDreams ConcertJunkie🦉 (@WestlifeDreams) reported

    @O2 been waiting a long time for Complaints Review Team to ring back and sadly I Just missed a call from Sarah as I was in an area with limited service. Gutted as I cannot get through now. When rang back said rang about an offer don’t need to ring back. Any advice pls? 🙈😱

  • gecko_81 geks (@gecko_81) reported

    @O2 very very poor service trying to resolve a simple request for my esim number to be transferred to a new phone. Ready to leave o2 if this is not resolved ASAP

  • nbrown_nicky Nicky Brown (@nbrown_nicky) reported

    @O2 So your response was be patient; it’s been six weeks of patience! 1st complaint made Aug 6th, 2nd 19th via email! how patient should a person have to be when they have sporadic service, having their life made miserable & having to make nr daily calls to you that lead to nothing?

  • liamtmaloney Dr Liam Maloney (@liamtmaloney) reported

    On tech help chat with @O2. It’s like some philosophical puzzle. “What’s the answer to your security question?” “I don’t know. What’s the question?” “Ah we can’t tell you that.” … “WHAT?!” It’s like Schrodinger doing customer service! Insane.

  • TamlynWorrall Tamlyn Worrall (@TamlynWorrall) reported

    @O2 not only did you fail to transfer my sons number to his new account, in spite of hours on phone & assurances today, it seems you have now CUT OFF both phones completely. And yet, we are being charged for 2 accounts with O2. Neither phone number works. Please call me urgently.

  • jamcc86 Jam (@jamcc86) reported

    @O2 Hi I am on Virgin Mobile. I’m in Spain at the moment and have no roaming despite roaming being on. I’m finding it very very difficult to contact Virgin Mobile. Please help!!

  • Andy_TheGrouch Andy (@Andy_TheGrouch) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 no chance i’m renewing, genuinely shite network coverage, cant make call when driving without it sounding like someone is under water & call failing. Mast been down in Ashton for over a week. Phone basically useless. Troubleshooting links are pointless - not good enough.
