  • Is_Me_Ben Ben Winstanley (@Is_Me_Ben) reported from Aspull, England

    @O2 incorrectly charge £XXX to our bank account. Admit this was done in error. We have to wait until 6th Jan 2021 before it can be refunded. Even then, we can to call back to request it on the day. Why do we put up with this type of customer service??

  • DAbrahamNewman Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

  • lucyolix lucy (@lucyolix) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 is the signal down in Salford? Data isn’t working and the signal is either none or just one

  • NayJDennis Nay 🍉 (@NayJDennis) reported from Partington, England

    @JD0NOHUE @O2 Yep, and as you know he doesn’t have the best manners, so you can only imagine how bad it was

    Crying like a baby because #o2uk have totally ****** me over big time if my depression wasn’t bad enough @O2 they done a contract completely wrong and now I’m not able to get my iPad fixed 😭😭😭 I’m so upset

  • Julio_Afonso522 Julio Afonso 🇲🇿 🇵🇹 🇪🇺🇨🇭 (@Julio_Afonso522) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

  • malllmallll Mario Alghatta (@malllmallll) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

  • dtackley Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

  • NayJDennis Nay 🍉 (@NayJDennis) reported from Partington, England

    @O2 awful service. Called to pay my device plan in full, was on the phone for >1 hr spoke to 5 different people in 5 different teams that couldn’t help (Customer Service, Retentions, Payments, Billing & Upgrades). My dog would’ve give a better service than what I received today!

  • goughy84 Mark Lister (@goughy84) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 hi. I have Disney+ free till end month, when it then becomes £5.99. I saw on o2 offers I can add it for £3.99. Do I need to cancel and re add for the discount or will the £2 off auto apply when it becomes chargeable? Thanks

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @O2 And you even txt me to ask me rate the experience with your staff .... HOW .... never got through !!

  • Is_Me_Ben Ben Winstanley (@Is_Me_Ben) reported from Aspull, England

    @O2 The enforcement letters continue - three more received today - sent to a loyal @O2 customer who hasn’t done anything wrong. We have not yet had any reassurance that this mess - from @O2 ‘s error - will be resolved.

  • kayewillan Kaye Willan 🏖🌞 (@kayewillan) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @O2 I’ve got some voicemails on my phone that I NEVER want deleted , how can you help ?

  • Is_Me_Ben Ben Winstanley (@Is_Me_Ben) reported from Aspull, England

  • SamAspinall95 Sam (@SamAspinall95) reported from Leyland, England

    @O2 would you be able to Message me in regards to my bill, can’t seem to ring customer service just disconnects

  • 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

  • ISCDXN Isaac (@ISCDXN) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hello! I entered for 6 months free of Disney+ in July but never actually completed the registration on my account so will that have been activated or not? Could you check please

  • matpilling Mat. (@matpilling) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @O2 I’ve emailed customer services as it doesn’t seem that anyone else is able to deal with my query!

  • AlexHamer1 Alex Hamer (@AlexHamer1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @O2 why has my 4G mysteriously stopped working just as my 2 year contract expires? I’m currently on a rolling contract at reduced rate. Seems very odd it would all of a sudden cut out completely?

  • atlr Alexander Robinson (@atlr) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi. Yes, she is unable to relay the code to me. I was also told that, in order to cancel the account entirely, I’d also have to relay a code. I registered a security word when I set the account up. I’ve provided this. But I am still unable to admin/run my account. This is crazy.

  • Earl_67 Earl Dawkins (@Earl_67) reported

    @O2 I have never had a problem with 02 until today and I am fuming. They’re making their problem my problem and it will impact my credit rating negatively. I’ve changed my billing date and I have since been billed pro rata only to start being harassed since this morning

  • elise_john85 Elise (@elise_john85) reported

    @O2 I don’t have Wifi calling I don’t think. No the O2 network is shockingly bad, neither 3G or 4G allow me to make a proper phone call. Nothing I’ve tried has made a difference so I basically can’t use it for phone calls whilst at home

  • TheCrunch92 Bretwalda 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@TheCrunch92) reported

    @EnglandRugby @autumnnations @O2 Furbank and Malins aside (they must be great on their knees Eddie you ***** dog), good squad. Where's Chessum though? I understand no Marchant, he's awful for England, but Chessum should be in there.

  • bobbyiscreative Robert Smith (@bobbyiscreative) reported

    @O2 I have been waiting since 5th October for @02 to refund my deposit of £220. Pathetic customer service @02 awful way to treat customers, no call back communication.

  • GilbertGreen64 gilbert green (@GilbertGreen64) reported

    @EnglandRugby @autumnnations @O2 And how many of those were broken be Eddie himself ?

  • SteveAttw00d Steve Attwood (@SteveAttw00d) reported from Ampthill, England

    @O2 @tescomobile your claim to cover 4G for 99% UK population isn't my experience. I don't think you can back it up. Often I switch to 2G just to get a phone signal that works.

  • TomElliotW Tom (@TomElliotW) reported

    @EnglandRugby @autumnnations @O2 Great to see Murley in the squad, he has been unreal. Ollie Lawrence and Joe Marchant have been absolutely robbed by not being included. Never thought I'd say this, but drop Sam Simmonds. He won't be available for the world cup next year so give someone else a shot.

  • BradshawCymru Martin Bradshaw (@BradshawCymru) reported

    Not had any internet at home for 4 days, so I’m trying to rely on my @O2 network. But I’ve realised how bad the network is in my area. It’s time to say goodbye 👋🏼

  • SamuelGeorge96 Samuel George (@SamuelGeorge96) reported

    @O2 From what I can remember as it was a while ago when I first got the tariff, it was via a link provided to me in store with a code. At the time it said it had worked but looking at my bills it’s never seem to have been added.

  • davieb719  DavieB 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@davieb719) reported

    So @O2 have got to be the worst company I’ve ever been a customer with, their customer service is non-existent. #PoorService #SayNoToO2
