Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, EnglandAnyone 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
-
Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, EnglandAlways good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England@O2 how do you get through to you for a pac code. Been ringing for an eternity and still waiting. It's as if you're ignoring the call so i'll have stay. pretty cr*p service from a main mobile provider. Let me guess #hgvshortageexcuse or #covidexcuse #notfitforourpose @Offcom

jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England@O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated
-
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. Definitely isn’t my device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?
-
DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England@O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England@O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!
-
Alastair (@alid7997) reported from Manchester, England@O2 why is your signal in Manchester so, so ****?!
-
Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, EnglandPee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.
-
Fran Edwards (@franlatics27) reported from Garswood, England@O2 can you refund me my monthly payment as all the masts in wigan are down and have been for weeks....thanks
-
Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported from Horwich, EnglandI really wish @O2 can sort out the issues in Horwich. Trying to contact your insurance and police etc after a break in is extremely frustrating when there's no bloody signal 😡😡
-
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.
-
Rob 🇪🇺🏴 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, Englandhaha, just had an (obviously scam) phone call from someone who claimed to be from @O2 … when they asked how the service was and I said it was poor, they hung up

-
Tony Welsby (@tonywelsby) reported@Worly82 @O2 Was on O2 for a few years after leaving EE (after over 25 years) for ‘a deal’. Became terrible after the merger with Virgin. Thankfully was on a sim only rolling contract and managed to get out. Awful farmed out customer services.
-
Frances 🍀 (Proinséas) (@LandFrances) reported@O2 why am I being refused an upgrade after 14 year of being a loyal customer with 2 contracts!! Disgusting way to treat loyal customers I’ll be going to Sky as it’s shocking! Not once has my bill even been paid late
-
Gavin C (@r420rl33t) reported@O2 so I'm home less struggling for money rang customer services asking to drop the plan and the phone completely because I CAN NOT AFFORD IT NO LONGER IT as it is financially crippling me and all i get is offered a new plan or payment plan hello im homeless and can not afford it
-
Big Dave B (@fletch25186) reported@HeathLinacre @mhewson_MCH @O2 40gb at £8 is a good price, people want prices to keep coming down, where does it stop?
-
Jen (@JRY1998__) reported@O2 You guys are liars. The service status was saying my service was fine but the guys in the store told me it was a known issue. I don’t trust your service page anymore
-
Squall Loire (@squall_loire) reported@O2 No, because I don't answer calls I'm not expecting. If I wanted to discuss a complaint on the phone, I would call you. Written complaints should be responded to in writing, otherwise it feels like you're dodging anything being on the record.
-
Jen (@JRY1998__) reported@O2 But you haven’t. I rang about 6 weeks ago because I was always on E. Now in my house I get max 2 bars and two streets away/in the town centre there’s no signal but everytime I talk to o2 you guys say it’s fixed. It’s tiring
-
Viridis (@Lord_Viridis) reported@O2 I have DM'd about it, called about it and emailed about it. Nothings changed in 4 months except where before I could use the app, now it's not working too I have now 6 lines that I cannot pay unless I sit on the phone to your call centre for hours Shambolic to what you used to be
-
Ⓜⓐⓣⓣⓗⓔⓦ 🇬🇧 (@Matthew_Delong) reported@O2 Tried that and never get the second email. Tried a second time 7-8 hours later no second email. I did not press if someone asked...., only I requested
-
Craig Morris (@RudeBooy2011) reported@O2 Won't let me inbox you chat keeps closing but if I get told the mast is down again im gonna scream its all I get told. But any one thinking to join O2 at the moment. I wouldn't bother
