-
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?

Ian Gee (@laticsian) reported from Chorley, England@O2 You've had a ****** stinker there haven't you. Website down all day for your #O2Priority. Gigs and Tours have allowed people to buy their tickets while your shitshow has allowed 1000's to miss out on tickets. Bravo!
-
DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England@O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!
-

-
Matt Henno (@MattyHenno) reported from Appley Bridge, England@O2 How are customers buying them when there’s no way of accessing your app or your browser version? You’re advertising a service that you’re not providing. Answers please

Gerwyn (@gerwyn) reported from Manchester, England@Allan2111272 @O2 It was so atrocious that their own network app couldn’t work
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, EnglandAnyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through.

-
Bill Duncan® (@Real_BillDuncan) reportedSo I've been trying to top up my my phone via voucher for the last 2hrs on @O2 via the 4444 number but that's saying "they have a fault and are fixing the problem", so now I can't top up my phone to renew my bundle
-
rebecca ann jarvis (@rebeccaann1989) reported@O2 I've tried but it still won't let me use my rewards as that's all I want to do is to use the rewards I have without having to set up several ID and keep trying to sign in, it was way simpler when I could just go into the app and redeem my rewards
-
Harriet Sergeant (@HarrietSergeant) reported.What’s happened @O2? Since merging with Virgin, topping up data has gone from two taps to a Kafkaesque ordeal. App requires an email that never arrives. Phone numbers unrecognised. Anyone found a workaround - carrier pigeon perhaps?
-
nikiloveshexie (@nikiloveshexie) reported@O2 can you help? I’ve tried a few times to swap my SIM card from o2 to virgin Megvolt deal and it’s so complicated. I’ve followed the instructions and called a few times but now it’s locked me out for 30 mins! Help!
-
tom (@DBposer) reported@O2 ever since you merged with @virginmedia your service is ******* shite, sort it out

Mike Waterson (@waterson_mike) reported@o2 can you please do me please need some help with my contract, ty

I.C (@IanCockerill2) reported@O2 @virginmedia has anyone else experienced a further decline in customer care since O2 was taken over by the dreadful Virgin Group?
-
CryptoeSIM.io (@cryptoesim) reported@ungodlywheesa @O2 That's a bummer! What phone are you using? Most phones from 2020+ support eSIM now. If yours doesn't, it might be time for an upgrade — and when you do, we've got you covered in 190+ countries
-
Kieren Bushnell (@kbushnell1975) reported@O2 Waste of time doing so, and you sending me a copy and paste apology every time doesn't cut it anymore. I need everyone to know how awful you truly are.
-
Faheem Mira (@faheem_mira) reported@O2 why is it so difficult to add an international bolt on with you? O2 app doesn’t seem to give it as an option. 2202 says it’s for bolt ons but then just gives options for different things. I’ve required this service a few times for business and each time it’s a headache
