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

  • thejimirving Jim Irving (@thejimirving) reported from Manchester, England

    Oh, of course, I’m in the middle of a major city, it makes sense that my @O2 service would be completely useless.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • _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

    @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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • 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 🤔

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • MKTINGW1Z Rami El-Boghdadly (@MKTINGW1Z) reported from Hindley, England

    So @EE launched their 5G network. While on the other side @O2 have not only announced a date but we sometimes barely get 3G in major towns and cities across the UK. Can’t wait for my contract to run out to switch providers

    @O2 Lazy and poor reply!

  • paulhayward200 Paul (@paulhayward200) reported from Haverhill, England

    @O2 I have done that. I just get that there is no network problem in your area. So it must be normal for O2 to be rubbish .

  • RossEdwards_F1 Ross Edwards (@RossEdwards_F1) reported

    @O2 waiting music for 40 minutes to speak to your customer services who transferred me within 2 minutes to then be given an auto@stead message that your too busy and to try again later and have the phone put down on me?? #badcustomerservice

  • SG666SG Shawn Graham (@SG666SG) reported

    @O2 Why is your chat service useless?! Over an hour talking to someone to get an upgrade and it cuts me off at the end! Try to start a new chat and now it won’t connect. Great….

  • garethwigdahl Gareth (@garethwigdahl) reported

    @O2 want to know my data allowance but nothing shown on myo2 account and app doesn't work . How do I find out.

  • KidUKnottVerts KidUKnott #COVIDisAirborne (@KidUKnottVerts) reported

    @O2 My phone says "Emergency calls only" so even calling 202 does not work. So how can I report my fault to you?

  • Jay_blake91 Jay Blake (@Jay_blake91) reported
