    @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

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 I’ve not been on your books for 6 or so years, so it’s either a scam or your records are quite out of date.

    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! 😎

    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?

  • 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. 🙄

  • SpiralSkies
    Jen (@SpiralSkies) reported from Ipswich District, England

    OMG @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 😳

    @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!!!

  • 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

  • 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?

  • ColletteLynn_

    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!

  • 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

  • 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

    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?

  • happystokey
    Steve (@happystokey) reported

    You tweet @O2 asking for help after your phone has been stolen on holiday. You receive a public facing, sympathetic response asking you to message privately. You do and... nothing. You can't help thinking it's glossy PR. Either there's nobody there or they don't care

  • NextChapterTat
    Next Chapter Tattoo (@NextChapterTat) reported

    @O2 Why are you no longer able to send away repairs from store? Weve been sent pillar to post.... store flat our refused to send away for repair. I think this may be a false advertising issue...website needs updating as it says differently.

  • angry_corner
    Mr Angry (@angry_corner) reported

    @O2 Always seems to be an issue accessing my account, using either of your apps..... you really just need to simplify this!!! I remember when customer perception was a huge focus at O2, but they don't seem to care any more!!!

  • Uptowndiscos
    Uptown entertainment discos (@Uptowndiscos) reported

    @O2 Is there somebody I can speak to which isn't an Indian call centre please to discuss this ?as I'm going from pillar to post since January and not a happy O2 business customer. Been with you 13 years and never been treated this badly

    @O2 someone has setup an account in my name and your fraud assistance is next to useless no ref provided and no call back - who can fix this asap

  • onemoreday1966
    Mr Paul Goddard Esquire (@onemoreday1966) reported

    Just nearly been scammed by someone claiming to be from @O2 The first to tell ppl to be careful, but I was suckered in, ended call and called the company to make sure all was well. Great customer service from them though. People beware!

  • Happyengland79
    Shana Hendry (@Happyengland79) reported

    @O2 are stealing from it's customers by making it impossible to claim our rewards. This will also be passed onto the ombudsman as your complaints service is ****! #evidenceforombudsman

  • TouretteIn
    The Tourette's in my head (@TouretteIn) reported

    @FHawksworth @O2 I know what you mean, these consultations can go either way, depending on who you get. And I have had weird issues with Vodafone and EE not connecting, no idea why, some calls go straight to voicemail despite the phone being charged and in range. Technology inconsistency sucks!
