    @O2 worst customer service in the world! Absolutely useless!

  • JMcKnighty
    ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really 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

    @l3479s @O2 Where I live our network masts haven't been working for almost a year - no answer for it whatsoever

  • DaveWrigh
    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?

  • Chris_Mr_T
    Chris Thompson (@Chris_Mr_T) reported from Chorley, England

    Hi @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.

  • AbiClarey
    Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

  • ecgdave
    Dave Johnson (@ecgdave) reported from Edenfield, England

    @O2 hello upgraded my phone last week and submitted a sim swap request that's still not been actioned in over 24hrs is there an issue?

  • Dr_Bass
    Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  • HHBarn
    garDan (@HHBarn) reported from Rawtenstall, England

  • gerwyn

    @Allan2111272 @O2 It was so atrocious that their own network app couldn’t work

  • SamAspinall95

    @O2 would you be able to Message me in regards to my bill, can’t seem to ring customer service just disconnects

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  • 17jkennedy
    Jacqualine Kennedy (@17jkennedy) reported from Bryn, England

    It’s already been said but @o2 it’s a disgrace - early access to Peter Kay tickets - no chance, now sold out - O2 customers were NEVER getting priority ……

  • liammcdon97
    Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE is that a government issue or the network provider lack of investment ?

  • Truly_Anomalous
    Dan - Truly_Anomalous 🐦 (@Truly_Anomalous) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 I left the O2 network this month. Our local access point is constantly either down or just not serving data. Fixes rarely last more than a week or two.

  • silestanix
    Mr H (@silestanix) reported

    @O2 Why? Are you going to solve this issue today of me not being able to make phone calls here in the US?

  • Happyengland79
    Shana Hendry (@Happyengland79) reported

    @zaarito @O2 They've been having issues with it since they changed it! Loads of complaints as people can't access the simplest of information but they have done nothing. #evidenceforombudsman

    Umm...nope (@Ummnope7) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE It's not the government's job to help you choose a decent mobile phone service. You're a grown man. You can make your own consumer choices, whether they be sensible or stupid.

    @worstall @O2 @vodafone Oligopolies can still be bad.

  • Swabsy1810
    Steve (@Swabsy1810) reported

    @O2 @CliveDaviesUK @O2 it’s just the same here in SK6 1PG area so many places where no signal or usable data. This is a relatively affluent area but your provisions are shocking

  • ChrisHa21736755
    Chris (@ChrisHa21736755) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE The UK mobile companies have been dealing with massive 4G and 5G investment costs and ever decreasing margins due to reducing contract prices. Meanwhile mobile use continues to rise leading to network congestion. All part of a healthy competitive market you might say.
