  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @lmjwoww @O2 Exactly... their response didn’t help at all as I had already been on their website. I would say they don’t currently have 5G in Manchester. Contradicting the info on the website. 😡

    @O2 your service line is actual cancer, never felt so frustrated from such a little thing in my life. Why can’t i get through to an operator?

  • emmabirdy Em (@emmabirdy) reported from Blackburn, England

    @O2 what’s going on with your network around the Bb2 area of blackburn? Had poor signal for several days but according to you you’ve either fixed it or there is no issues. #rubbish #needsignal

  • marikapaprik marico (@marikapaprik) reported from Walkden, England

    Please tell me @O2 why I have so many issues calling you up? You cut off my phone and every time I try to call up to get it reconnected it’s a damn hassle?

  • _Mikki1993 Mikki (@_Mikki1993) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I phoned and the woman I spoke with said the amount showing in 'usage cost' was my overall bill as opposed to being in addition to what was showed under 'handset cost' which I've never know to be the case before. Is this correct?

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

    @O2 are really frustrating me, I need my service restoring but can’t seem to do it right now

  • anthonhill Anthony Hill (@anthonhill) reported from Burnley, England

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Are you able to confirm, without directing me to your website (which doesn’t answer my question and does not help) when 5G will be available in Manchester? Thank you

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 is the 4G signal across the country still being limited due to covid?

  • x_Saz Sarah Pollard (@x_Saz) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 you’ve charged me 6.99 for nominated delivery today with DPD @dhlexpressuk & the courier went to the wrong address & made out he’d been & said I wasn’t in. Worst customer service I’ve ever received & I expect a refund

  • DW26707385 D.W (@DW26707385) reported from Risley, England

    Still problems in @O2 @O2AcademyLeeds

  • 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

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 when will the 4G signal be back to normal working order? Is COVID still a factor in this? I'm sure the signal strength was cut short due to more people working at home etc.

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

    So @O2 take the bar off my phone at 1700 hours and nearly 6 hours later the bar is still there even tho they told me it would be removed after 10 minutes, not like I need to use my phone or anything. I’ve only been a customer for 12 years and only spent about £5000 on them

    Hello @O2. Was helping a friend setup a phone for #elderly person on PAYG contract. They accidentally mixed up "phonebook" with preinstalled "directory" contact on O2 SIM and got charged £1.50 for a 1 second call. Please help refund this outrageous cost. #exploitation

    Hello @O2. Was helping a friend setup a phone for an elderly person on PAYG contract. They accidentally mixed up preinstalled "directory" number on O2 SIM with paid directory enquiries service and got charged £1.50 for a 1 second call. Please help refund this outrageous cost.

  • skullmonkey7735 🇮🇪 Stiofán Ó Frighil F.C.D🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@skullmonkey7735) reported

    @markxdavies @O2 Nope, not a word until I contacted them.. Not an email, nothing.. Plus you're down the cost of a new handset!!🙄 All I got was a link on here, after I'd made them aware.. Then today, about 2, I'd a text telling me it'll be back in 48hrs! But it was obviously back as I got a text!

  • Brandon22376427 Betty Blue (@Brandon22376427) reported

    Absolutely shocking customer service from @O2 I’ve wasted five hours of my life on phone calls and chat and have got precisely nowhere. Anyone else?

  • Brandon22376427 Betty Blue (@Brandon22376427) reported

    @O2 This is the problem. Lots of your staff saying I can help you when actually, they can’t. Your customer service team is in complete disarray.

  • rubygrace212 Ruby Prior (@rubygrace212) reported

    @O2 hi o2. We have been trying to ring like asked from the o2 shop. However, it’s very keen NOT to help us in the slightest and hangs up after saying ‘bye.’ We just want to migrate a number a pay of an existing contact. Didn’t think it would be that difficult!

  • JonnyMcOfficial Jon (@JonnyMcOfficial) reported

    @O2 My dad died in October and I informed you a week later. Why are we getting default letters (addressed to him) for £8? This is very upsetting and we can’t get through on the phone to anyone who can help

  • msksmiles Santosh Kumar Mohan Rangan (@msksmiles) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @O2PriorityUK I am trying to book tickets for Monday but cannot select 13 Dec - this remains disabled for me since the last 5 days and I am not able to use the voucher code. Can you please help? Thanks! @O2

  • ToeKneesTweets Tony (@ToeKneesTweets) reported

    @O2 why is the coverage so poor in Chelmsford City Centre? Primarily data but also calls in some areas. Stood outside in the middle of town but not being able to get a sat signal is really quite poor.
