    Incredibly #disappointed with the service received on @O2 chat this evening think they may need #CustomerService training ! Very standard robotic reply’s maybe it was a robot 😂

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    Why am I still paying full price for my tariff when the mast is down in my area and has been for a while now? I can’t access my network properly so why should I still pay? @O2 sort it out please!

  • fmorton71 Fiona Morton (@fmorton71) reported from Great Bentley, England

    @o2 you are CRAP

  • doggett_kieran K (@doggett_kieran) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @O2 so I make an insurance claim, which i pay for monthly and you can't replace it as not in stock, nearly 2 weeks waiting. Poor. I ring today to get told lines are closed, its 11:41 on a Monday. Poor. What have you to say

  • Geobadger1 Christopher Chapman (@Geobadger1) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Hi @O2 just had a bizarre call from a call centre thinking I’m still an O2 customer. I’ve not been on your books for 6 or so years, so it’s either a scam or your records are quite out of date.

  • MissClaireW CLAIRE WALMSLEY (@MissClaireW) reported from Halstead, England

    @O2 Yeh you keep replying to people with this, & yet the link you sent either directs back to social media, or continues the issue of login problems... so... ?? @virginmedia @O2

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @O2 so I have 3 accounts with o2 and looking at an upgrade to iPhone 12 in March for 2 of my accounts but it’s cheaper to leave and rejoin or go elsewhere #terrible #noloyality #rubbishdeals

  • AndySoloman Andy Soloman (@AndySoloman) reported from West Bergholt, England

    @O2 your customer services are truly dreadful. What an awful Christmas present we have had.

  • JamesSharp87 James Sharp (@JamesSharp87) reported from Witham, England

    Hello @O2 I’ve accidental damage to the rear of my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Only had the phone 3 months so will it be covered under warranty?

  • timcutbush Tim Cutbush (@timcutbush) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Oh my word @O2 ‘support’ is shockingly bad. Trying to connect my new Apple Watch to my existing data plan - failing big time. @O2 have no idea whatsoever

  • RozBaldwin Roselyn Baldwin (@RozBaldwin) reported from Sudbury, England

    @O2 Total waste of time just keep getting quoted your on the wrong contract for that !!! As you got your phone at #@CPWTweets ! Fantastic I’m such a happy customer right now ! Not!!!

  • MissClaireW CLAIRE WALMSLEY (@MissClaireW) reported from Halstead, England

    @O2 any resolution to your app not working, logins just go back to the same email verification page? So many people posting & no answers?

  • MattyCrane Matt Crane (@MattyCrane) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @O2 Understood, for a day or two that would make sense. But service down for over a week with no timescale for resolution as you have said, is pretty poor you must admit. Oh well we continue to pay the bill for a service we can’t use. 🙄

  • ScrumpyDaniel Daniel Hill (@ScrumpyDaniel) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @NSPh0t0s @ManUtd_BITW @TheO2 @O2 @AXS_UK @TicketmasterUK @seetickets Ticketmaster is by far the worst.... at least for all the Mania events it is! It’s shocking for Axxess and has screwed me over many a time and almost cost me Undertaker VIP

  • ashleighlast AL (@ashleighlast) reported from Ipswich District, England

    As if @O2 have said the reason my 4G is shockingly slow and non existent majority of the time is down to thickness of the walls or too many people around me!!?? Imagine being with a company for 12 years and getting that **** service? Time to leave.. #poorservice

  • m7hompson Matty Thompson (@m7hompson) reported from Ipswich District, England

    What’s the deal @O2 trying to make an insurance claim but been on the phone for 45mins and spoken to 5 different advisors which keep telling me there going to transfer me through, is this something that can’t be down in the #o2 shop?

  • KevinRowley4 Kevin Rowley (@KevinRowley4) reported from Maldon, England

    @O2 for weeks now, Maldon CM96JR no 4 or 5G signal, voice calls virtually impossible at times. What's going on? Thank you

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @O2 hi there I have just joined o2 when I signed up I gave my pac code but the sim has turned up today and it’s not my old number ... please help

  • RozBaldwin Roselyn Baldwin (@RozBaldwin) reported from Sudbury, England

    Now furious @O2 customer service said they would call me at 6pm as they did not want to miss me !! Funny but by uk time that was an hour ago ! #furious #socalledbestcustomerservice ! #o2

  • lovelylaurajd Laura Davidson (@lovelylaurajd) reported from Colchester, England

    Absolutely love @O2’s recycle service. Upgraded to the new iPhone 11, sent off my old iPhone XS and received £400 into my bank account today! 🙌 That is going straight into the holiday fund! 😎

  • SimonShanley Simon Shanley (@SimonShanley) reported

    @O2 why is there still next to no signal Blackpool FY1 Adelaide St. Albert Rd Central Drive Coronation St etc.? 3 years ago I complained and still no better. Makes life so difficult picking family up from town. If it does connect there is no sound. No 4g either. Same on 3 phones.

  • wilcochris Chris Wilcox (@wilcochris) reported

    @O2 The big question is: are you going to be like the others that look after their customers and reintroduce roaming charges. You’ve already dropped down your AU allowances when you said you wouldn’t

  • johannablake Johanna Blake (@johannablake) reported

    @O2 I have been trying to deal with a fraud issue since January and have rung your help desk every 3-4 weeks and still nothing has been done. Last week I raised a formal complaint and was told someone would ring me within 48 hours, it’s now been 10 days and nothing.
