-
Chris Thompson (@Chris_Mr_T) reported from Chorley, EnglandHi @O2 we’ve been in Blackpool most of the day and have little or no signal until we were leaving. Do you have a known issue, a lack of cell towers or something? We’ve been half a dozen times this year and it’s always the same on 3 different phones.

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

Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England@O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

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

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?
-
Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England@BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

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.

-
Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England@O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, EnglandThey told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

Norman Leeds (@NormanLeedsPhD) reported@geek_gareth @TheGriftReport @O2 The best telephone service I ever received was when I called Microsoft in Seattle with a question about Windows 98.

Dr Yasemin Allsop MBE (@yallsop) reported@G99____ @O2 No, the customer care told me they had a security breach effected many accounts. I asked why did they not inform us, she couldn't answer. Then, she said she unlocked it and I should be able to access it in 3 days. The whole thing doesn't make sense. And I phoned their number not a fake one :)
-
Shana Hendry (@Happyengland79) reportedStill unable to claim the reward @O2! Also not only was the mast not working for 3days last week it's not working again today 😤 How are you not embarrassed that you can't provide what you are being paid for? The refund is racking up. #evidenceforombudsman

samovarian (@samovarian) reported@mhewson_MCH @O2 Switch to Tesco, I did it as soon as they announced the ridiculous rise. Same network, but way cheaper and you don't get bombarded with the ridiculous O2 Priority stuff.

Mr J (@Mr__J_J) reported@O2 @paultownsend81 Never is a fault, just poor signal. Now you launch satellite and expect us to pay for that to get better signal.
