  • cicismith81 Careen 'Cici' Smith (@cicismith81) reported from Manchester, England

    Message to @O2 There is NO need for any CSA to hang up on me because I corrected you. I’m now having to pay extra money because a CSA ****** up. And you won’t do a damm thing about it.

  • JonNutten Jon Nutten (@JonNutten) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 Not what your customer service staff offered. 😕 typical of @o2businessuk

  • JennaHorridge_x Jenna Horridge ☮ (@JennaHorridge_x) reported from Manchester, England

    Why is the signal for @O2 in @manairport shocking & has been for days! 😠

  • cazatmacs Carol Johnson 🐝 (@cazatmacs) reported from Rochdale, England

    I will be cancelling my @O2 contract ASAP I’m giving you more than £30 a month and getting no signal at all for 8 hours every evening during my shift could you please send me a code to keep my number.

  • yannickmcosta Yannick McCabe-Costa (@yannickmcosta) reported from Stockport, England

    @NatWest_Help @Scott_Helme Sure. Problem is there is no MSISDN associated to this text, it's just a string with "BankAlert"so without help from @O2 to trace the originator, not much to do. Same with calls from unallocated numbers. You could contact @Equinix / Telecity to whom that IP range is allocated.

  • kml1959 Kevin Lewis (@kml1959) reported from Stockport, England

    You just have to love @O2 one of the most grasping dishonest companies on the planet...they overcharge my business by £80. (their own error) .never apologise but expect you to pay the bill in full and then wait for a credit...what a joke outfit, cancelling all contracts Monday

  • _chris_a Chris (@_chris_a) reported from Manchester, England

    As if the network congestion issues in many parts of the country weren't bad enough @O2 have excelled themselves with dire customer service agents. I'm named on my husband's account but one agent shouted at me you only deal with the account holder and then hung up.

  • adele_1983 •d e l• (@adele_1983) reported from Manchester, England

    @EE Hi JT. Not yet I’m focussed on having my £742 back from @O2 then I will have a look and start a contract. The customer service and signal is appalling from O2 so I’m looking forward to changing to a reputable service provider.

  • adele_1983 •d e l• (@adele_1983) reported from Manchester, England

    @carleyjones1 @O2 No! I never use all my data or minutes. The bill for May- which comes out on 11th June, was only £38 something. I checked the app and I’m up to date. There is no reason to take such a large amount. I can’t even talk after having my tonsils out, it’s a pain in the arse x

  • TrickyLad Richard Kirkham (@TrickyLad) reported from Manchester, England

    just seen there’s something called #O2Surprise, been with @O2 and their previous incarnations since 2003 and all I’ve ever had is sh*tty reception and bad service, or is that the surprise 🤔

  • AlanFarrimond Alan Farrimond (@AlanFarrimond) reported from Wigan, England

    @Latics1932 @EmmaThommo @PKendrickWIG @skintnortherner I’m the same I’m with @O2 once I leave the supporters club where I get WiFi and enter the DW it all goes blank, nothing, no signal.

  • bsdesigned Brent Starling (BS) (@bsdesigned) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Constant drop out in the centre of Manchester due to congestion. Got told by a representative that: After speaking with our Network Service Team, the level of service you’re receiving is the expected level within that area. And it's part of T's and C's.. So tough luck.

  • lebradle lorraine bradley (@lebradle) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 new customer to O2 and I’m appalled at the customer service I’ve received. Been told lies after lies. Would appreciate someone to get back to me to sort it out.

  • nickfudge123 N Eddy (@nickfudge123) reported from Whitworth, England

    @O2 They are both in the same house..... 28 days was never mentioned #misold

  • cazatmacs Carol Johnson 🐝 (@cazatmacs) reported from Middleton, England

    @Cheryllee64 @O2 @tescomobile No people are having problems here with them too, I’m going to try @ThreeUK

  • natalie_19851 Natalie Johns (@natalie_19851) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 You need to fix the problem on your site because I can’t purchase the Samsung Galaxy Buds on offer with the @O2PriorityUK offer 😡😡

  • bolgamy sarcastic bastard (@bolgamy) reported from Manchester, England

    For months I have been complaining about @O2 network. Central Manchester, Bolton Town Centre, Liverpool Town Centre, Edinburgh, Glasgow, etc... I pay over £300 for that privilege. And now you want to reducing the customer loyalty discount...this customer won’t be loyal!!

  • VivienneNewt0n Vivienne Newton (@VivienneNewt0n) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 £38 for an iPhone 7 handset only in store at Bolton. MyO2 offer is £38 phone and handset. I’m disabled & would have liked support face2face but the assistant said they can’t compete with online deals!! That’s ridiculous! @PiratePaul2705

  • RichardHesketh1 Richard Hesketh (@RichardHesketh1) reported from Haslingden, England

    @O2 We have performed FFR necessarily, as this problem has persisted over three phones. This is an issue of inherited number. Very weird. We've been in touch with the previous user and they are aware. Changed their details etc. It's still happening.

  • VivienneNewt0n Vivienne Newton (@VivienneNewt0n) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 yet again I’m let down by you - ordered an upgrade & chose a phone in stock. Then told the phone was out of stock - but I can’t change my order!! Disabled, going on holiday & needed the phone 😡@PiratePaul2705

  • generaldoh Amu (@generaldoh) reported

    @O2 you customer service is appalling and pathetic to say the least. 45 minutes waiting on a call to speak to someone. At one time I actually fell asleep and woke up to your music still playing in the background.

  • brient Brian Thomson (@brient) reported

  • NathFerguson Nath (@NathFerguson) reported

    @O2 how do I go about putting in a complaint about your crap network fed up on constantly not being able to use my phone as your network is poor

  • KAJones94226663 KAJones (@KAJones94226663) reported

    @O2 Your service is poor. Two days waiting for a delivery that doesn’t come. Delivery driver doesn’t even ring the door bell. Phoned when I couldn’t answer it and pissed off. Too lazy to get out the van. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of other service providers.

  • kaeblackett Kirsty Blackett (@kaeblackett) reported

    @sarah_robbo @O2 It’s everywhere. It’s bad change networks.

  • DynamoMedinaFC MedinaFC (@DynamoMedinaFC) reported
