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

    Think it’s time to go to @ThreeUK well over a decade with @O2 / @o2businessuk and they not really fussed about loyalty, customer service. The line used ‘it is what it is’ when I spoke to them about my contract options. 😂😂

  • TimPartridge2 {{{Tim}}} (@TimPartridge2) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please cancel contract for my number. That’s you notified.

  • Matt_Aspden NOW 40 (@Matt_Aspden) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I have found out there are issues with the local mast causing outage.

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    Got tickets for Skunk Anansie via @O2 Priority but they are etickets with no physical counterpart. Presale elsewhere has physical tickets for same price, and I can't help but wish I'd known about that one instead. I have almost all my ticket stubs for the last 2 decades!

  • sophielordx1 Sophie🙋‍♀️ (@sophielordx1) reported from Bury, England

    Mad how i pay 80 quid a month for a phone on @O2 that never ****** works. Full signal and 4g but yet i have no internet connection🤔🤔 silly *****

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

    @oneladyshow @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK Honestly, couldn’t even send this tweet in city centre if I was on O2 Something about a mast being down. For three years. Simple reason is, they don’t have enough coverage here so they lie about it.

  • Andfie Andrew Fielding (@Andfie) reported from Bolton, England

    Delighted to announce this household is now an @O2 free zone. Finally rid of their shocking customer service and outrageous roaming fees. #ikeepmyword

  • suemcgran Sue McGranaghan (@suemcgran) reported from Manchester, England

    @oneladyshow @O2 That’s true - friends I have who are on other networks don’t have this problem so not sure it’s because it’s busy x

  • kates2091 Kate Elliott (@kates2091) reported from Salford, England

    The problem with @O2 marketing messages will always be that my reaction to them is to swear at my phone and say ‘It’s not even possible for me to have used up my data yet’. And then I don’t read them. #ThoughtOfTheDay #TuesdayThoughts

  • Shell_Boudin86 Michelle Boudin (@Shell_Boudin86) reported from Bury, England

    @JoJo_P_87 @O2 Not that I ever win them lol but would be nice to actually have something around the north west if I was to win .. Although never had an #O2Surprise either and been a customer 15yrs lol

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

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK I have been with them around 15 years too and I can’t even message people sometimes in the city centre. They offer absolutely no help whatsoever just same old bullshit replies

  • jayymieemcd Jamie Mcdonald (@jayymieemcd) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 still 100% sure you are still the worst network! Yet i still pay a ridiculous amount of money for a service i very rarely get!!!!

  • EllieLouisaaa Ellie Louisa 🧜🏻‍♀️🦩💫 (@EllieLouisaaa) reported from Hindley, England

    @O2 spoke to at least 3 people a day in a week and my phone still isn’t working. very unhappy with your service and that every single person I have spoken to has told me something different. I don’t trust you as a company and im praying that they release me from contract #OverO2

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 Hi, yes I’ve spoken to someone but it’s still not sorted out . I’ve to ring back again which is awful. I was sent the wrong phone I sent it back Monday and it’s still not been received . I paid my last phone off so I could upgrade . I’ve been billed fo the wrong phone as well .

  • marykate100 Kate Taylor (@marykate100) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    Surely this is not the kind of customer service you would receive from other brands such as @o2

  • poppymarello Poppy Marello (@poppymarello) reported from Manchester, England

    The only network where it's impossible to get signal in Manchester City Centre @O2

  • dondon_w Donna (@dondon_w) reported from Manchester, England

    @craigrookleeds @O2 I need my network because this contract ends tomorrow ffs

  • JohnAHallam66 John Hallam (@JohnAHallam66) reported from Manchester, England

    @o2. You just cut me off. Monday, you've used 80% of your data. Ok, 6 days to go. Fine. Thursday, cut off. Time to change provider, after many years. Really piss poor service.

  • gazmax01 Gary Leeson (@gazmax01) reported from Stockport, England

  • Alfie_KC RIP Alfie (@Alfie_KC) reported from Bryn, England

    Never been discouraged from upgrading my phone before, perhaps @O2 know something i don't

    @O2 I don’t give a ****

  • jakesanders89 Jake Sanders-Rhodes (@jakesanders89) reported

    @O2 @Apple Not letting me upgrade online… anyone else having this problem?

  • thenewgalaxy Dr Richard Bate (@thenewgalaxy) reported

    @O2 Got there in the end. It would be nicer as a customer if the upgrade process was slick rather than being a bit of a battle… been with o2 for 20 years now and it’s become harder every time.

  • NathanLockwood_ Nathan Lockwood (@NathanLockwood_) reported

    @O2 your app and website down?

  • shellbryson Shell Bryson (@shellbryson) reported

    @CivicLilly1 @O2 I absolutely don’t have too, more of a comment on poor system design. Things should not *break* under load.

  • ilockyer Ian (@ilockyer) reported

    @O2 the 4g signal in Exeter has been poor all day, constant buffering on media etc.

  • josephwgregory Joseph Gregory (@josephwgregory) reported

    @O2 @Apple Wow those device plans are awful! You can get a stand alone 150GB plan from O2 for £20p/m, so why is it £5 more when bundled with an iPhone? The same applies with 3GB for £20p/m when you can get it stand alone for £6p/m Hard miss on this one, I’d rather buy from Apple.

  • benjaminlfc Benjamin Webster (@benjaminlfc) reported

    @CivicLilly1 @shellbryson @O2 Because if you don’t order on the first day the delivery dates get pushed back and back they’re went to October within minutes direct from Apple so if they can’t keep with demand being the actual company that makes them then network providers have no chance

  • jenirehtak Katherine J (@jenirehtak) reported

    @o2 my data roaming doesn't work on pay as you go! This happened twice now and my phone is definitely switched to roaming! So annoying, didn't have this problem on pay monthly.

  • meljodmor11 Mm♡ (@meljodmor11) reported

    @O2 is there a problem with your service? My signal is weak … 2 bars and everything is slow… constantly happening nowadays
