  • 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

  • sophielordx1 Sophie🙋‍♀️ (@sophielordx1) reported from Bury, England

    Mad how i pay 80 quid a month for a phone on @O2 that never ****** works. Full signal and 4g but yet i have no internet connection🤔🤔 silly *****

  • 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!

  • 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

  • dondon_w Donna (@dondon_w) reported from Manchester, England

    @craigrookleeds @O2 I need my network because this contract ends tomorrow ffs

  • 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

  • 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!!!!

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • suemcgran Sue McGranaghan (@suemcgran) reported from Manchester, England

    @oneladyshow @O2 That’s true - friends I have who are on other networks don’t have this problem so not sure it’s because it’s busy x

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    Please help me @O2 I’ve been trying to get through on the phone since Thursday . I was sent the wrong phone on my upgrade I’m being charged for it . I have sent it back and have prove . Many thanks 🙏

  • Shell_Boudin86 Michelle Boudin (@Shell_Boudin86) reported from Bury, England

    @JoJo_P_87 @O2 Not that I ever win them lol but would be nice to actually have something around the north west if I was to win .. Although never had an #O2Surprise either and been a customer 15yrs lol

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 Hi, yes I’ve spoken to someone but it’s still not sorted out . I’ve to ring back again which is awful. I was sent the wrong phone I sent it back Monday and it’s still not been received . I paid my last phone off so I could upgrade . I’ve been billed fo the wrong phone as well .

  • 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

  • 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. 😂😂

  • 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.

  • TimPartridge2 {{{Tim}}} (@TimPartridge2) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please cancel contract for my number. That’s you notified.

  • 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.

  • ElaineW30559995 Elaine_W (@ElaineW30559995) reported

    Gutted to hear that O2 have joined forces with Virgin Media. Iv heard negative things about virgin media. Tell me I’m wrong to be worried! I’ve been an O2 customer since 2006 and never had any issue with my phone signal. Ever! Reassure me 🥴@virginmedia @O2

  • Ewan_Huzami Ewan Huzami (@Ewan_Huzami) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Does this mean that when the VM broadband wifi signal drops out (as it does quite often) you can seamlessly switch to 02s 5g network, so no more internet outages?

  • Lotte_eh Lotte e-hobbins (@Lotte_eh) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Trying for days to get someone to assist with our business account, no one has come back to me. One of your routers is down and before that the wifi keeps crashing. Desperately need to get everyone back online but I just need someone to answer me

  • LeahWinston01 Leah Winston (@LeahWinston01) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia Is your network down. My phone says 4G and perfect signal but nothing is loading?? Been like this for 2/3 days.

  • Willowstorm247 Louise Murray 💙 (@Willowstorm247) reported

    @Kendall100Nick @virginmedia @O2 100% agreed Nick. Virgin Media phone slammed me (deliberately took over my call package from BT - only had BB with VM). When I realised VM customer services were utterly awful & mocking. Had to leave it due to a bereavement, but will never use them. Least BT apologised!

  • Stevemills76 Steve Milligan (@Stevemills76) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia I’ll be leaving on next contract renewal then, virgin media are the worst for customer service! I’d rather pull my face off and wipe my arse on it!

  • rosiedoes Rosie (@rosiedoes) reported

    Why ******** @O2 would partner with abject scumbags and career incompetents @virginmedia, **** only knows, but I'll be leaving. There is no bargepole long enough...

  • TophHooperton Chris Hooper (@TophHooperton) reported

    If the @virginmedia and @O2 merger means continuous connection (5G pick up when broadband goes down) I will salivate.

  • SchnoopityP Schnoopity Pop (@SchnoopityP) reported

    @O2 I think someone is spoofing my number - I’ve had a few calls from different people, saying they are returning a call which appears to have come from my number, But I never called any of them. What can I do?

  • LadyLou83 Emma G-M (@LadyLou83) reported

    @O2 Thank you, I have done this already, however I asked what are o2 actively doing to make our accounts more secure? Having been a customer of yours for over 10yrs I don’t feel I will renew my contract as I don’t feel you keep our accounts safe.
