-
Hayleigh Cross 🌷 (@_hayleighhxo) reported from Haydock, EnglandSpending 30 mins on the phone to @O2 for them to do nothing because they have to wait till the issues are resolved. Is there a number I can call to make a complaint?
-

-
Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England@O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.
-
Cheryl Manley (@CherylManley14) reported from Manchester, England@O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service
-
Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, EnglandOh 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!
-
Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England@O2 has less than 20 mins to sort their app out. Come on guys, this is so bad
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose
-
garDan (@HHBarn) reported from Rawtenstall, England@O2 how can we have no mobile or 4g/5g service till Thursday.. Seriously is this a joke..
-
James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, EnglandHello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my devise as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?
-
~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, EnglandReally 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
-
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 !!
-
Myles Hampson (@Mhamp84) reported from Hindley, England@Clf88 @O2 Yeah it’s been fine , vodaphone network . I buy the phone out right and just pay for data
-
Stephen Pickup (@StevePickupTM) reported from Lower Darwen, England20 years with @O2 and this will be my last contract with them come September the staff in the Blackburn store need a lesson in salesmanship when sat in front of a customer looking down at their phone texting is not a great way of convincing people to stay with the network

-
John Till (@JohnTillUK) reported@sackedseafarer @O2 But I keep getting errors “Too many page redirects occurred” whether I use the app or website. I then tried to submit a complaint online and guess what, that throws an error too! So raised it via X DM and given a complaint ref and assured I’d be contacted via my preferred channel
-
Darren Evans 🏴🇮🇪 (@dazz20) reported@BelfastGiants @O2 They are shockingly bad
-
pete (@shade1964) reported@O2 it’s shocking service no 5g no signal surely you can put masts in these areas !!!!!!
-
Jade (@Jade66755388) reported@O2 Why tell me my signal issue is resolved when it’s not! I’ve been stuck like this since March why won’t you sort it? I want compensation or I will take it further!
-
Tom Weller (@TWeller96) reportedAvoid using @O2 for your phone! Issue raised over 5 months ago and still not sorted. So much for O2 Priority. Look elsewhere!
-
john (@jhargie4) reported@O2 @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler been waiting 5 days for my DEALOCK Letter following your refusal to actually discuss my complaint before transferring to another service provider. New customers get better deals than 20 year loyal ones.
-
dale clarke (@daleclarke1980) reported@mattstingray @O2 Don’t worry your bill will go up by £4 in April and they tell you it’s to improve service! Had better signal in 🇧🇬, 🇪🇸, 🇨🇭 and 🇫🇷 off the local providers than I do with one of the main players in 🇬🇧
-

Talib Dean Harnetty (@TDHarnetty) reportedI was told on the phone that I'd be able to use my allowances in Turkey but I'm getting no data. Roaming is on, data is on, but no mobile data. I'm a Volt customer. Help, please. @O2

#BurnhamthefakePM #NeverLabour (@EmmMurray211) reported@O2 my daughter, stranded abroad with no phone after a theft, has received terrible service from you. Unless you can actually support her we will be cancelling our DD and making a complaint to @Ofcom. Good customer service is not rocket science!
