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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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. 🙄

  • 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 😂

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?

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

    @o2 you are CRAP

  • 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! 😎

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Chad25216451 Chad (@Chad25216451) reported

    @O2 Join O2 as they have a special offer on….20gb data which they only give you GPRS signal…signal doesn’t work on trains whilst other providers do all for £25….what a bargain for the worst phone service provider in the UK

  • JamesWa66498932 James Walker (@JamesWa66498932) reported

    @O2 had a power cut in HU12 0PU. All EE back online but o2 still down. Tried reporting online but won't let me just says we are aware that our network gets busy in this area. We'll it isn't tonight as there is no signal. Please raise the fault internally

  • JackParkerNo1 Jack Parker (@JackParkerNo1) reported

    @O2 @NHM_London TERRIBLE 4G. I AM NOT GETTING THE SERVICE I AM PAYING FOR. NOW UNLESS I SUGGEST SOMETHING THAT COULD CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION, I SUGGEST YOU SORT THIS PLEASE. Thank you.

  • RebeccaL_H Rebecca H (@RebeccaL_H) reported

    Task of the day: sorting my mobile contract. Cheapest deal on @O2 is £8pm but because I'm an existing customer I can only get the same deal is £20pm. I guess it's time to switch network then 🙄

  • NikzMalde Nikit Malde (@NikzMalde) reported

    @O2 Many thanks to @O2 for giving a crappy service

  • biiancanicole Fashion Stylist (@biiancanicole) reported

    @O2 I would still like to leave your services. Keeping me on hold for two hours pretending you can’t find my details and then hanging up is ridiculous. I pay £8 a month I’m sure you will survive. I would just like to move to a service that works.

  • wevegotwheels Bex (@wevegotwheels) reported

    How is O2 and Virgin Media the same company yet it’s a fair bit cheaper to get a new contract from @virginmedia than it is for me to upgrade through @O2 . I’d rather not cancel my contract and start again but I really need to save every £ I can. 😔

  • lyndsayf lyndsay forbes (@lyndsayf) reported

    @O2 So no acknowledgement of the issues I'm having. Tried to cancel contract but as I'm not on 02 no I can't log in?! I need to speak to an actual person. How do I do that

  • Sober_Robin_ Robin (@Sober_Robin_) reported

    @O2 in Leeds signal strength is appalling

  • malachy_mckenna Malachy Mckenna (@malachy_mckenna) reported

    @O2 Hi 02. I have been trying to cancel a contract for 4 days now. Being pushed around to different teams and hung up on constantly. The phone number is 07543528746 - please help.
