  • goughy84 Mark Lister (@goughy84) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 hi. I have Disney+ free till end month, when it then becomes £5.99. I saw on o2 offers I can add it for £3.99. Do I need to cancel and re add for the discount or will the £2 off auto apply when it becomes chargeable? Thanks

  • atlr Alexander Robinson (@atlr) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi. Yes, she is unable to relay the code to me. I was also told that, in order to cancel the account entirely, I’d also have to relay a code. I registered a security word when I set the account up. I’ve provided this. But I am still unable to admin/run my account. This is crazy.

  • JustAH0bbit nat (@JustAH0bbit) reported from Bury, England

    Crying like a baby because #o2uk have totally ****** me over big time if my depression wasn’t bad enough @O2 they done a contract completely wrong and now I’m not able to get my iPad fixed 😭😭😭 I’m so upset

  • Is_Me_Ben Ben Winstanley (@Is_Me_Ben) reported from Aspull, England

    @O2 incorrectly charge £XXX to our bank account. Admit this was done in error. We have to wait until 6th Jan 2021 before it can be refunded. Even then, we can to call back to request it on the day. Why do we put up with this type of customer service??

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Are you able to confirm, without directing me to your website (which doesn’t answer my question and does not help) when 5G will be available in Manchester? Thank you

  • kayewillan Kaye Willan 🏖🌞 (@kayewillan) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @O2 I’ve got some voicemails on my phone that I NEVER want deleted , how can you help ?

  • DodgyValley Balcombe (@DodgyValley) reported from Walkden, England

    @O2 is there an issue with O2 data network centre of Sheffield at the moment, not been working last few hours

  • dtackley Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

  • DWATKINSON Daniel Watkinson (@DWATKINSON) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 are really frustrating me, I need my service restoring but can’t seem to do it right now

  • DWATKINSON Daniel Watkinson (@DWATKINSON) reported from Urmston, England

    So @O2 take the bar off my phone at 1700 hours and nearly 6 hours later the bar is still there even tho they told me it would be removed after 10 minutes, not like I need to use my phone or anything. I’ve only been a customer for 12 years and only spent about £5000 on them

  • _Mikki1993 Mikki (@_Mikki1993) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I phoned and the woman I spoke with said the amount showing in 'usage cost' was my overall bill as opposed to being in addition to what was showed under 'handset cost' which I've never know to be the case before. Is this correct?

  • DAbrahamNewman Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

  • Is_Me_Ben Ben Winstanley (@Is_Me_Ben) reported from Aspull, England

    @O2 The enforcement letters continue - three more received today - sent to a loyal @O2 customer who hasn’t done anything wrong. We have not yet had any reassurance that this mess - from @O2 ‘s error - will be resolved.

  • NayJDennis Nay 🍉 (@NayJDennis) reported from Partington, England

    @O2 awful service. Called to pay my device plan in full, was on the phone for >1 hr spoke to 5 different people in 5 different teams that couldn’t help (Customer Service, Retentions, Payments, Billing & Upgrades). My dog would’ve give a better service than what I received today!

  • matpilling Mat. (@matpilling) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @O2 I’ve emailed customer services as it doesn’t seem that anyone else is able to deal with my query!

  • marikapaprik marico (@marikapaprik) reported from Walkden, England

    Please tell me @O2 why I have so many issues calling you up? You cut off my phone and every time I try to call up to get it reconnected it’s a damn hassle?

  • x_Saz Sarah Pollard (@x_Saz) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 you’ve charged me 6.99 for nominated delivery today with DPD @dhlexpressuk & the courier went to the wrong address & made out he’d been & said I wasn’t in. Worst customer service I’ve ever received & I expect a refund

  • ISCDXN Isaac (@ISCDXN) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hello! I entered for 6 months free of Disney+ in July but never actually completed the registration on my account so will that have been activated or not? Could you check please

  • Is_Me_Ben Ben Winstanley (@Is_Me_Ben) reported from Aspull, England

  • NayJDennis Nay 🍉 (@NayJDennis) reported from Partington, England

    @JD0NOHUE @O2 Yep, and as you know he doesn’t have the best manners, so you can only imagine how bad it was

    @willow0202 @O2 why do you do nothing about this? Why is your customer service so appalling?

  • laurabethfurnel Laura-Beth (@laurabethfurnel) reported

    @O2 can you reply to my complaint about not having access to my account? Over a month to resolve is not good enough!

  • ihavtoo Ihavtoo (@ihavtoo) reported

    @NathFerguson @O2 Wasted a good amount of time and when I was asked for an explanation they couldn’t give me one. Really poor service.

  • Glasstec_Paul Glasstec Paul (@Glasstec_Paul) reported

    @O2 Customer for 35 years. I logged a complaint on 05/08/25 after I tried to add additional handsets to my a/c but your colleague 'helping' me disappeared. You didn't respond to the complaint and after the 28 days you specified, I followed up. Still nothing. Appalling service.

  • laceyknickers lyn lacey (@laceyknickers) reported

    @O2 just to make you and everyone aware I still cannot use my phone I have had no help at all, I emailed the #CEO of #O2 and no one has got back to me, please retweet my followers to call them out

  • TheRealNeil13 Neil (@TheRealNeil13) reported

    @o2 any idea when I will be able to make/recieve calls. Had no notice of service issues and no one can tell us when service will resume, it’s a good way to lose loyal customers

  • Rammspanghoul Mighty Morphine Power Ranger (@Rammspanghoul) reported

    @Heres__Johnnie @virginmedia @O2 Had the same issue. Couldn’t press back without it greying everything out. Had to wait for the page to close itself. Linking confused me, not being a virgin customer. So tried not long after but trying to link O2 just says it cant find my account when I enter the code. 45 mins…

  • fxckchelsey_ chelsey s (@fxckchelsey_) reported

    @AXS_UK @O2 I currently can’t get into the Raye waiting room through O2 Priority, it’s just sending me to the AXS website :(((( help

  • ConorClark Conor Clark (@ConorClark) reported

    @O2 hello, O2 Priority is saying my Vue code has been used but it hasn’t. Can you please help so I’m able to book tickets?

  • monty8391 Chris (@monty8391) reported

    @O2 I assume the phone upgrade journey via the My O2 app wasn't tested properly as it gets stuck in a loop trying to verify some new virgin media credentials (via email magic link and SMS OTP). It then crashes out back on the O2 site and your basket is gone. Really poor!
