  • Claire_journo Claire Hannah (@Claire_journo) reported from Wigan, England

    Postman been. Bill for an iPad with @O2, phone with @O2 phone with Vodafone and a letter from Virgin to tell me my data has been breached. No shit Sherlock. Had enough of this now. #IdentityTheft

  • kates2091 Kate Elliott (@kates2091) reported from Salford, England

    The problem with @O2 marketing messages will always be that my reaction to them is to swear at my phone and say ‘It’s not even possible for me to have used up my data yet’. And then I don’t read them. #ThoughtOfTheDay #TuesdayThoughts

  • Matt_Aspden NOW 40 (@Matt_Aspden) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I have found out there are issues with the local mast causing outage.

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    Got tickets for Skunk Anansie via @O2 Priority but they are etickets with no physical counterpart. Presale elsewhere has physical tickets for same price, and I can't help but wish I'd known about that one instead. I have almost all my ticket stubs for the last 2 decades!

  • JohnAHallam66 John Hallam (@JohnAHallam66) reported from Manchester, England

    @o2. You just cut me off. Monday, you've used 80% of your data. Ok, 6 days to go. Fine. Thursday, cut off. Time to change provider, after many years. Really piss poor service.

  • MDOG_Manchester Manchester Dining Offers (@MDOG_Manchester) reported from Manchester, England

    @oneladyshow @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK Honestly, couldn’t even send this tweet in city centre if I was on O2 Something about a mast being down. For three years. Simple reason is, they don’t have enough coverage here so they lie about it.

  • gazmax01 Gary Leeson (@gazmax01) reported from Stockport, England

    I feel like throwing my iPhone and Apple Watch out the ******* window 6 weeks my problem has been going on and all you tell me is I will have another update in a week and proceed to tell me you rang me yesterday liesssssss sort it or I am moving Vodafone @O2

  • poppymarello Poppy Marello (@poppymarello) reported from Manchester, England

    The only network where it's impossible to get signal in Manchester City Centre @O2

  • emilystella_ Emily (@emilystella_) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 Thanks. The problem is apparently our line is faulty and no one can come out to fix it. So it would need to be router that doesn’t need a line 👎🏽

  • EllieLouisaaa Ellie Louisa 🧜🏻‍♀️🦩💫 (@EllieLouisaaa) reported from Hindley, England

    @O2 spoke to at least 3 people a day in a week and my phone still isn’t working. very unhappy with your service and that every single person I have spoken to has told me something different. I don’t trust you as a company and im praying that they release me from contract #OverO2

  • canders_daniels Chris 'Anderson Daniels' (@canders_daniels) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 Unfortunately I don't have access to my O2 phone, and when I called customer services they kindly gave me an unmanned phone number

  • twojayart Will Stevenson (@twojayart) reported from Manchester, England

    I will be leaving this network if this goes ahead @O2

  • jayymieemcd Jamie Mcdonald (@jayymieemcd) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 still 100% sure you are still the worst network! Yet i still pay a ridiculous amount of money for a service i very rarely get!!!!

  • Alfie_KC RIP Alfie (@Alfie_KC) reported from Bryn, England

    Never been discouraged from upgrading my phone before, perhaps @O2 know something i don't

  • oneladyshow Charlie (@oneladyshow) reported from Salford, England

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK I have been with them around 15 years too and I can’t even message people sometimes in the city centre. They offer absolutely no help whatsoever just same old bullshit replies

  • Andfie Andrew Fielding (@Andfie) reported from Bolton, England

    Delighted to announce this household is now an @O2 free zone. Finally rid of their shocking customer service and outrageous roaming fees. #ikeepmyword

  • DWATKINSON Daniel Watkinson (@DWATKINSON) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Hi, I don’t mind the wait time but when u try and ring through I get told my enquiry can’t be dealf with anybody and then then you hang up the phone

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

    Think it’s time to go to @ThreeUK well over a decade with @O2 / @o2businessuk and they not really fussed about loyalty, customer service. The line used ‘it is what it is’ when I spoke to them about my contract options. 😂😂

  • marykate100 Kate Taylor (@marykate100) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    Surely this is not the kind of customer service you would receive from other brands such as @o2

  • D_GDN_17 Danielle Gordon (@D_GDN_17) reported

    @O2 shocking customer service! No signal at home or when out, waiting 48 hours for a call back. What an absolute joke! I took out these sims for myself and daughter but she can’t get in contact with me and has special needs. Absolutely useless!!

  • BuckTaylor64 Andy Buckley-Taylor (@BuckTaylor64) reported

    Another let down! @O2 iPads always out of stock! I’ll try another network.

  • maisiethetortie Maisie the Tortie - NHS - Get Boosted! (@maisiethetortie) reported

    @Florenc00526929 @O2 @SkyBroadband can you help please? This is ridiculous.

  • Tluong_ teeLTD (@Tluong_) reported

    Hello I’ve been in Dubai for almost a week but my service has been down? Why is this as I can’t access many things as it is sending me security codes to my number @O2

  • tete_blanche Mike W (@tete_blanche) reported

    @O2 want to cancel my contract, can I do this online or still have to phone up like the old days and be on hold ages?

  • Hobbsywobbsy Paul Hobbs (@Hobbsywobbsy) reported

    Hello @O2, my wife upgraded our virgin, it included an O2 sim. The account has been setup in someone else’s name (I have her name and address), but you’ve successfully managed to setup a direct debit and charge us. We’ve spent hours on the phone to virgin and yourselves. Help??!

  • Florenc00526929 Florence The Wonder Cat (@Florenc00526929) reported

    @maisiethetortie @O2 @SkyBroadband I've blocked sky as they were so rude. BT don't control thre lines any more sadly.

  • glenry Nicola Chalmers (@glenry) reported

    @O2 but it takes 24 hr-48 hours for a manager to phone you back. Cancelled my contract 2 days after my sim arrived as I couldn’t get a signal but still trying to charge me the full contract even though they can see I haven’t used it!

  • RTHelloWorld HelloWorld (@RTHelloWorld) reported

    @O2 Unable to use data roaming in Spain. Data roaming enabled, only get 3G on movistar network. Tried turning off and on multiple times since morning

  • glenry Nicola Chalmers (@glenry) reported

    @O2 No I haven’t . I ordered 2 sims on the 29th of Dec but because of Christmas backlog and then new year (Scotland ) bank holiday 3 and 4 th of jan no mail until the 06th. We were getting next to no signal where we live so I cancelled on the 09th and got our pac codes and took
