    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! 😎

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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 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

  • 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 I’ve not been on your books for 6 or so years, so it’s either a scam or your records are quite out of date.

  • 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?

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

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

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

    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 😂

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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. 🙄

  • 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

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

    @o2 you are CRAP

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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 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

  • 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?

  • 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!!!

  • daisymay010751 barbara hagyard (@daisymay010751) reported

    @O2 I cancelled my new sim with you the day it arrived and never used it. You have still charged me after I was told by your customer service department there would be no charge! Who do I have to contact for my refund

  • JohnInman6 JRinman6 (@JohnInman6) reported

    @JacobRogers666 @pye_in_the_sky @O2 I'd say to any O2 customer, move to Tesco Mobile (where they don't increase tariffs over term of contract) and used saved money on your coffee. For the same £10 a month o2 sim deal,Tesco give you a Samsung phone too.

  • Stephy1802 Stephh (@Stephy1802) reported

    After waiting since the 9th of April, Ive had to cancel my OLED switch which I said UP to 4 weeks but now says OVER 4 weeks. Was a present for my son whos birthday been and gone, and nobody at @o2 can tell me when stock will actually be coming in? Never been so annoyed in my life

  • electriccandles ⚡️Emma⚡️ (@electriccandles) reported from London, England

    Idk what's going on with @O2 signal atm, but for the last few weeks I have no data signal around Crystal Palace at all. Doesn't come back till I get down to Sydenham. Weird

  • GingerMenace89 Jamie Emery (@GingerMenace89) reported

    @O2 I have a new SIM contract and gave my pac code from sky mobile when I ordered it. I activated my new o2 SIM yesterday and nothing has happened yet, can you help?

  • CandyManCan_ TheCandyMan (@CandyManCan_) reported

    @O2 Hi, I've just gone out of the EU for a week and received a text saying my final bill is due in the next 4 days (after switching from monthly to PAYG). However the only way for me to pay this bill is by phone? Which i can't do for the next 7 days. Please help!

  • rachtwins1 Rachel Mcloughlin (@rachtwins1) reported

    @O2 No that’s ok I probably need help switching to a different supplier. It should not take 3 hours to sort an upgrade and not be told the correct information. Terrible way to treat customers who have been with you for years

  • RJMelon Richard James Mason (@RJMelon) reported

    @O2 No problem, we'll received a email it's out of stock, but said it was in stock upon ordering, can I pick another device just different color that may be in stock? Or do I just have e to wait

  • JerseyS54584996 Jonny Lennon (@JerseyS54584996) reported

    Here @O2 why are yous so shite? Sort your 4g out you **** *****

  • Sarahlouby1986 Sarah Green (@Sarahlouby1986) reported

    @O2 took out a contract, cancelled within 14 days. Got charged £195. Spoke to your representatives twice over the phone & have been told that this would be resolved. Now getting emails/txt saying that a late payment charge will be added to the amount. How do I make a complaint?
