  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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! 😎

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 😂

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

    @o2 you are CRAP

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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. 🙄

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • stridesshoes STRIDES (@stridesshoes) reported

    @O2 my daughter can't #roamfreely - she's in greece - on the correct international tariff and her phone won't work. I pay the bill. To make matters worse, your disability link is not working so i can't get through. Your voice recognition can't understand me saying 'NO'

  • djstrider2k8 Thys Paine (@djstrider2k8) reported

    @O2 so far pretty let down by the service. Order phone yesterday, pick store that has stock (13 miles away), text 30 minutes later, they have no stock. Call agent, go tomorrow and collect it, arrive at store, no phone even though they have the phone I want in stock. Genius plan

  • willreedsimons Will Reed-Simons (@willreedsimons) reported

    Hi @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam. Why am I being charged roaming fees by #skymobile when it uses the @O2 network (who dont charge roaming fees)?

  • tomwestwater Tom Westwater (@tomwestwater) reported

    @O2 So I did at home and at work, your network is shocking- why am I paying for this lack of service?

  • Hammer Hammer (@Hammer) reported

    @endless_psych @O2 Are you in town? If so, it’s probably a capacity/bandwidth issue - same as you get at the rugby.

  • MrAndyWatson A n d y (@MrAndyWatson) reported

    Paying near £200 a month with @O2 to have zero signal and 3G in Northern Ireland and Birmingham. Imagine having to buy a Vodafone pay and go SIM card. Not just my line friends/family also. A customer over 18 years on contract. Can other networks buy you out of contract?

  • caz_08 Caz ☺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@caz_08) reported

    @O2 Hi. I have requested my number swap from an o2 number to another 02 number. The number I’m keeping is now out of service but not changed over & I still have the number I don’t want to keep. As it still shows number on phone Do I receive a code or an email for the next steps

  • Tomdw916 Tom Douglas-Walker (@Tomdw916) reported

    @O2 Hi I've recently taken out a contract with you but when I try to port my old number across using my PAC code I get an error. Can you guys help?

  • 89andyt @89AndyT (@89andyt) reported

    @O2 why is your service so shite?? Everywhere I go (i live in Manchester not the mountains) the signal is absolutely WOEFUL!!! 🤦🏻🤦🏻😤😤
