    @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

  • JMcKnighty
    ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  • AbiClarey
    Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

  • Hurstchris2102
    Christopher Hurst (@Hurstchris2102) reported from Leyland, England

    Absolute shambles from @O2 with the pre sale of Peter Kay tickets. I managed to get some through gigs & tours but no checks so could have bought them even if I wasn't an O2 customer. Pointless having a pre sale if its open to all #peterkay #O2Priority

    @O2 I've been trying to get proof of purchase on phone for months now. I've been promised emails but nothing happens. I'm no longer an O2 customer, but the phone was part of a contract

  • lilith15016

    @O2 O2 make it almost impossible to access the site. Poor signal, no customer care, and customers are tolerated, not welcome.

  • RichardNoble
    Richard Noble (@RichardNoble) reported

    @O2 Hey O2 - can’t login to your app or on web from Morocco! Help!

  • MikeModelsky
    Michael “Mecha” Modelsky (@MikeModelsky) reported

    Is anyone else on @O2 finding that since the @virginmedia team up the service is horrendous, has taken my partner seven weeks to get their account unlocked, no it’s been unlocked. They can’t pay their bill due to an insecure website issue and too many redirects.

    @darkclown @O2 It was dreadful down at the seafront today at Hove today. We found the same..calls were not connecting & texts took ages. Had to give up with @BrightonMarathn app.. missed seeing our son at several points

  • Tommo_Ov_Tarn
    Paul Tomlinson (@Tommo_Ov_Tarn) reported

    @O2 It’s been poor ever since I ported my number over to O2 I have made many calls to O2 and you are looking into it, but I am getting reports of not being able to message or call me and the data is sooo slow its painful

  • onemoreday1966
    Mr Paul Goddard Esquire (@onemoreday1966) reported

    Just nearly been scammed by someone claiming to be from @O2 The first to tell ppl to be careful, but I was suckered in, ended call and called the company to make sure all was well. Great customer service from them though. People beware!

  • ronak_malde
    Ronnie (@ronak_malde) reported

    @O2 I am writing to urgently seek clarification regarding a refund that was due to be credited to my bank account. The refund was initiated on May 9, 2026, and I was informed that the funds would arrive within 3-5 business days. As of today, the money has still not been returned to my account. My experience with your customer service channels thus far has been incredibly frustrating. The primary reason I chose to migrate to another carrier was due to poor service, and this current delay only confirms that I made the right decision. Given the lack of flexibility and the difficulties I have faced, I can no longer recommend your services to others. If you feel that you have it in your heart to give me back my refund, please reach out. If not, have a meal at Wagamamas on me!

    @O2 You hang up on customers who seek to make a complaint.
