    @o2 Do NOT use #o2recycle it’s an absolute CON! I sent my perfect condition iPhone 7 to them on an offer of £115, only to recieve a revised offer today of £57 because they claim the screen is now cracked. It’s not their problem though apparently, I should speak to Royal Mail...

  • AlanFarrimond Alan Farrimond (@AlanFarrimond) reported from Wigan, England

    @O2 No we don’t only have problems on match days as I’ve feed back to you previously. There’s no signal there all the time. You keep asking the same questions and keep telling us you’re working on up dating the mast but nothing changes.

  • Langers1981 Langers (@Langers1981) reported

    Unless you want my two year old to clear all the shelves and racks of phone cases I think I better go I thought this overly pushy domineering approach to sales died out along time ago Suffice to say I went to the nice local shop two doors down and in and out in 3 minutes @O2

  • SarahSinclair29 Sarah Sinclair (@SarahSinclair29) reported

    @o2 you are a disgrace. £16!!! For being in the USA. I’ve not used data text or calls. REALLY?!! Over 10+ years of loyalty. If you don’t refund me I will change to @VodafoneUK !!! This is why I hate my network! 🥺😩🥺😩🥺

  • HaileeBacardi Hailee (@HaileeBacardi) reported

    @O2 I need some help please and your website is not helping, at all. Please help?

  • JenPjam Jen Hutchison 💙 (@JenPjam) reported

    @O2 trying to use discount code at snow and rock and it says it doesn’t exist, please help

  • ElliesWellies † E l l i e † (@ElliesWellies) reported

    @O2 And receive calls, just not in Pulborough. I'm aware of this happening to at least 20 others in the area. Apart from leaving your network, what else can we all do? 2/2

  • barnaclebear Christina Taylor (@barnaclebear) reported

    @Langers1981 @O2 Offt I have been a customer for years but their service was bloody awful this year. They messed up my renewal & sent me a new sim I didn’t need and it took loads of calls & arguments to get them to acknowledge the mistake. No apology but I did get compensation eventually 🙄

  • ben_sutherland1 Ben Sutherland (@ben_sutherland1) reported

    @virginmedia You can follow your own complaints practice by actually coming back to me within the time frame given. Still no contact from you. I will just go to OfCom with my complaint. They will be interested to know how you are scamming your customers into @o2 contracts.

  • SarahSinclair29 Sarah Sinclair (@SarahSinclair29) reported

    @O2 loyal customers. Wow. You are an absolute shambles. I do not need this amount of stress on a trip visiting family. I really don’t. Worst network EVER

  • TC47732679 Tony Cann (@TC47732679) reported

    @O2 @O2 is there a reason you are choosing to ignore my complaint? Your phone mast isn't working and your suggestion is to use my WiFi which is not with yourselves. In which case, why am I paying you?

  • thekingelaine Elaine (@thekingelaine) reported

    @O2 I have no mobile data signal. I can’t receive texts or make non-Wi-Fi phone calls. What is happening?
