    @O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose

    Avoid @o2 at all costs they are the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with absolutely zero customer service no choice other than to cancel

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

    Jacqueline (@JacquiDarling) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 why is it IMPOSSIBLE to speak yo somebody about your crappy service & non existent network????? £50 per month for NO SERVICE AT ALL for almost 12 months ! That's £600 shocking company!!

    Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • couser85

    @O2 why is the my o2 not working. Haven’t been able to use it for over a week!

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my devise as I’ve just been aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

    @O2 hi guys, I've not had a signal for 2 weeks, got a sick relative and a signal, please help!! Post code BL52LF

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 how do you get through to you for a pac code. Been ringing for an eternity and still waiting. It's as if you're ignoring the call so i'll have stay. pretty cr*p service from a main mobile provider. Let me guess #hgvshortageexcuse or #covidexcuse #notfitforourpose @Offcom

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

    @shafterjay @O2 Now we're paying good money for no service

    @O2 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

  • JMcKnighty
    ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

    neni♡ 🌷 (@agb_ayline) reported

    How I wish what happened yesterday had never happened. My arm hurts so much, even though I’m so happy to see Ariana; my back hurts, my feet hurt, my whole body hurts because of the sick people who did this to me. My wrist hurts a lot. 💔 Just thinking about it makes me cry @O2 I hope you can read my email.

  • houghtonc79
    Chris (@houghtonc79) reported

    @O2 No issues, just 💩 service. 5g is no faster than 4g was where I live.

  • Nmxx1734
    Lincs Lass (@Nmxx1734) reported

    @O2 Hi, are you having issues in the LN11 area (Louth, Lincolnshire)? The service checker says it's perfect 5G, but it really isn't! People are talking about it on the FB community pages. You can't get on banking apps, send or receive on WhatsApp or Messenger, nothing at all!

    @O2 @giffgaff I kindly request you not to deactivate my SIM +44 7935 828383. I’m currently in Pakistan, but this UK number is very important to me because several of my official accounts are linked to it. Please help me keep the number active. I would really appreciate your suppo

  • Paulc2nd
    Paul Curry (@Paulc2nd) reported

    @BluesnJazzxx @O2 I am experiencing exactly the same but @O2 obviously can't realise there is an issue and get IT onto it. I have just had an offshore tech team ringing me about it. I hung up. It would be a lot easier to have a tech team over here with the app in front of them.

    @wheat_daddy @O2 EE shocking signal here in IP 22, dropped off at the beginning of harvest and not come back. Maybe now children back at school it will but not holding my breath!

    @O2 @O2 I can still receive texts on the O2 SIM. I need help accessing/linking my account so I can top up and keep my number active. Is there a way you can help me with this?

    How on earth can it take 4 hours to do a switch up request via chat support , and then they announce there's a 33.02 activation fee but refuse to provide any proof? @O2
