-
Matty Thompson (@m7hompson) reported from Ipswich District, EnglandWhat’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?
-
Jen (@SpiralSkies) reported from Ipswich District, EnglandOMG @O2 are doing work nearby so no 4G in the office. Had to sign a form last week to say we wouldn’t use the office internet either, other than for professional stuff. Work‘s awful when there’s only, well, work to focus on. It’s like the olden days 😳
-
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

Caroline Caley (@caley_caroline) reported from Ipswich District, England@O2 really are the worst company I’ve had dealings with
-
James Sharp (@JamesSharp87) reported from Witham, EnglandHello @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?
-
¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, EnglandWhy 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!
-
Christopher Chapman (@Geobadger1) reported from Ipswich District, EnglandHi @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 I’ve not been on your books for 6 or so years, so it’s either a scam or your records are quite out of date.
-
AL (@ashleighlast) reported from Ipswich District, EnglandAs 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
-
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
-
Roselyn Baldwin (@RozBaldwin) reported from Sudbury, EnglandIncredibly #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 😂
-
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
-
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
-
Andy Soloman (@AndySoloman) reported from West Bergholt, England@O2 your customer services are truly dreadful. What an awful Christmas present we have had.
-
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?
-
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. 🙄
-
Roselyn Baldwin (@RozBaldwin) reported from Sudbury, EnglandNow 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
-
Laura Davidson (@lovelylaurajd) reported from Colchester, EnglandAbsolutely 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! 😎
-
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!!!
O2 Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Rebecca C 💙💙💙 (@artdeco_fan) reportedYour complaint system is not fit for purpose! Your online complaint form does not work, it just gives a generic error message (this is not new, it's been the case for at least 2 months) and the complaint email address just bounces back. #disgusting @O2
-
Matthew Ridsdale (@MattRidsdale) reported@O2 Well, I have never known anything as utterly shambolic as your customer service! Another two hours wasted tonight trying to help my mum resolve an issue with that occurred in JUL2025! Still no sign of a resolution. Come on, let's get it sorted. This is beyond a joke.
-
Steve Joyce (@SteveJoyce14) reported@GillsCountry @O2 Which is all very well but doesn't explain why we normally get signal (sometimes intermittently) and can use data but this Saturday we got absolutely nothing 😳
-
Paul (@ToeStrike) reported@TakeThatClouds @O2 I'd say you satisfied the requirement. The person you dealt with decided they didn't want to help that day, or take the risk. It's hugely frustrating to deal with O2 on any level.
-
Cody (@CodyButton77) reported@O2 STILL charging me for a phone contract that I finished payments for in December 2025. Cancelled the contract as shown on the @O2 website and still being billed monthly even after calling customer service 3 times. Very disappointed after being a loyal customer for many years.
-
Dr Sonali Misra (@MisraSonali) reported@O2 I am travelling internationally and your app Help centre isn’t showing me any options to speak to an agent. And I don’t want to make international calls to your call centre. Please help. I have been wrongly charged for an extra month
-
anthony chilvers (@anthonychilvers) reported@O2 no network signal for two days now
-
Stuarty Mccarroll (@Stuartylovesya) reported@BelfastGiants @O2 I know it's been less than 24 hours, but i wonder how the jersey sales are going in comparison to previous seasons... 👀I'd guess they haven't gone well. Still time to rectify these poor decisions. White jersey is fine, the other three, horrible... Giants logo HAS TO BE central
-
Sarah Loughran (@SarahDruscilla) reported@O2 in this day & age, why do we still have to settle for a signal that is “patchy indoors”. Got a text today saying our network issue has been fixed. Zero improvement. Still only 1 bar indoors. I had a better signal with O2, 20 years ago!!
-
Cheryl Irving (@Dezrezchez) reported@O2 I am receiving updates already, however, I’ve just had my bill and because I have to switch my WiFi off to view it, I can’t because I have no signal. This has been ongoing for over a week now. It would be nice to have solutions not excuses!
