  • oneladyshow Charlie (@oneladyshow) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 I have asked you guys to sort it repeatedly and it’s never fixed. Your advice was ‘use 3g’ but even that doesn’t work. :( I have been with you guys for 14 years and im disappointed you haven’t fixed my problem

  • michelle2570 Michelle❤#TeamChester❤#TeamLinkinPark (@michelle2570) reported from Walkden, England

    @chrisstyles44 @O2 I honestly feel truly sorry for all the 02 customers who haven't heard anything about their new mobile phone delivery, that should arrive today! It's so UNFAIR! The 02 Purchase Team have totally messed up! They never checked the phones' actually stocks for reordering in time! 😠

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Middleton, England

    Well my opinion of @O2 has just (to quote a word used so many times by O2) “escalated” from bad to absolutely useless!

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @saoirse_22 @SamsungUK @O2 @virginmedia It appears to be a security certificate issue but I can actually access the certificate details on my phone. So, stumped but learned how to do something I didn't know I didn't know... #JoHari

  • jordanbuckley92 Jordan Tui Lolahea (@jordanbuckley92) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please can you help not happy at all

  • cholloway92 Chris (@cholloway92) reported from Haslingden, England

    @O2 @TalkTalk can’t believe the farce of Talk Talk telling my Dad to move to O2 then 10 days later O2 telling us to call Talk Talk over issues with the PAC code and Talk Talk telling us to call O2 instead. Been on the phone for over an hour tonight and got nowhere! Sort it out!

  • MessengerNic Nic Messenger (@MessengerNic) reported from Golborne, England

    @O2 I keep getting calls from different numbers in South Sudan. I contacted your call centre and no help was given. I accidentally answered one of the calls and it’s charged me £15 on my bill!! Not even my fault! 😤 and you can’t even refund me!! Disappointed 😔

  • thegourmetgays Thegourmetgays™ (@thegourmetgays) reported from Urmston, England

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK @bt_uk @EE @giffgaff @Plusnet @SkyUK @Tesco I’m with @EE and never had an issue

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 @o2 You don’t want to help enough unfortunately! Started off well, then ended up worse than the telephone customer services! Hope no one needs a refund anytime soon, if you do, good luck with that!

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    Day 2 of Trying to get @O2 to understand what domestic abuse and financial abuse is! @MarkEvansO2 Mark I think you need to pull your finger out your ass and look at the state of your company your running! All your contact centres are run by shitty capita! Your a horrible company

  • MDOG_Manchester Manchester Dining Offers (@MDOG_Manchester) reported from Manchester, England

    @hellofawaytodie @O2 There’s a mast down though

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    trying to get a credit off @o2 is an absolute nightmare, 3 months they have been promising it’ll be in my account! Fuming!🤬 Worse customer service ever! I can see me getting away this long with not paying my bill! Worse than useless!

  • leahbossons leah rose x (@leahbossons) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 are absolutely useless. Rude staff and not a one of them have a clue what they’re doing.

  • Archaonday Chiara Oxley (@Archaonday) reported from Wigan, England

    The @O2 seem to think that this is an acceptable way to deal with this situation. Poor customer service all round it seems #beware #unsafe #ItTakesOneMoment #Manchester all over again.

  • pammie02 Pam Nunn (@pammie02) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 How is the quickest ans easiest way to make a complaint!! 😡

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 as a victim of domestic abuse I would thought O2 would be more understanding and helping customers who experienced financial abuse as well if domestic abuse! I haven’t received any of that from you! Horrible nasty network! #Poorcustomerservice @bbcthree @MarkEvansO2

  • AdamMoran Adam Moran (@AdamMoran) reported from Sale, England

    @dmhprior @O2 Sounds a bit like waiting for @virginmedia to install broadband, albeit they don’t owe me ££. Just general lack of interest in any form of customer service.

  • devlin_jp JP Devlin (@devlin_jp) reported

    Very nearly got conned by a fraudster pretending to be from @O2 He was very good but it was his persistence that let him down. Phew!

  • PumpkinSpiceLet 𝙲𝙾𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚃𝚃𝙴 (@PumpkinSpiceLet) reported

    @Ed_Solace @O2 ... ****

  • IPWillC William Charlesworth (@IPWillC) reported

    My wife is trying to work from home (pregnant) as a Dr for the #NHS and no phone now for 2 weeks thanks to the incompetence of @O2 and no chance it appears of helping her. Can’t speak to hospital or patients. Can @Number10press @NHSEnglandLDN help??!

  • SonaliShah Sonali Shah 📺📻 (@SonaliShah) reported

    @O2 I need to talk to someone urgently about my sim swap not working. I am without phone network at the moment

  • BeckyMarson Becky (@BeckyMarson) reported

    @O2 signal keeps dropping and battery running low every time use internet

  • evilvicks Inimitable Mrs M (@evilvicks) reported

    @O2 just wanted to say a massive thank you to Priscilla in the Cambridge Lion Yard shop yesterday for helping me sort of my upgrade. She was friendly and funny and I walked out with exactly what I wanted! Excellent customer service

  • ChopperLamb Andy Lamb (@ChopperLamb) reported

    @O2 Maybe I should take this up with Ombudsman, you’re not providing a service I am paying for.Yes, I understand you can’t guarantee a fault free service, but there is a known fault, with no fix time and has been like that for nearly a month.There must be an SLA associated with it.

  • Zeeee090 Zee (@Zeeee090) reported

    @O2 After being a customer for over 10 years. I ask for a little help with my bill as I’ve lost my job due to long term illness and you can’t help me. This is absolutely disgraceful from O2.

  • IPWillC William Charlesworth (@IPWillC) reported

    We’re now on 3rd SIM card and 12th day without network for my heavily pregnant wife who is unable to work from home for almost 2 weeks now. Despite @O2 reassuring tweet yesterday, she’s failed again to have any resolution and is now told it will be further 5 days.
